Massively talented and in terms of ability by far and away our best option on the left.

But that was diabolical. Such a stupid challenge to make. Probably best to call time on his stay here in the summer while he still holds decent value.

So disappointing.

This, for me, is the closest to summing up Mirallas as we get.

Tell you what Prev, I hope you've not had a bad year or something as you've been sound but you are on horrific form on here.

Only flexing mate, all good on Prevenger Island

It's definitely Martinez' mismanagement. HE USED TO BE SUCH A GOOD BOY

Disgrace of a dive for the 1st yellow [which i thought was a foul till replay],then quite silly to make that 2nd tackle,which all came from Lukakus bad touch which kev tried to fix

Mirallas has previous for the self-indulgent brain dead child thing. He isn't good enough to be worth it.

OK he was wrong with the tackle after being booked but a yellow for a dive when 99% of players get away with it.

Tell us again how it's Martinez' fault mate

I said the whole thing isn't binary. I know it's easier for people like yourself to label someone "GOOD MAN" and "BAD MAN" in a situation, to save space in your brain for important things like being an internet-mosquito and trying to remember how to boil an egg, but I just think Martinez has managed it all poorly.

At the same time, I think Mirallas has been unprofessional and that was a step too far. It's called having a balanced opinion.

It's interesting though, how most of the things you mentioned, the fans loved. We liked a bit of snide, didn't we? I remember the love-in for the Suarez tackle and the water bottle thing.

I just want people to remember that he's actually been a very good player for us, and much like Distin's last season, that doesn't suddenly mean everything before was awful and he'd always been crap and/or a bell.

I do think that was the last straw then and I'm pissed at him. He's potentially thrown away the points for no reason and that's just not forgiveable given his other red card this season. But a pet peeve of mine with our fanbase is the knee-jerking and rewriting of history that goes on.

Still feel the same way about him as I did a few days ago - one moment want to sign his song (his tracking back on Antonio) and the next kick him in the arse although would probably make it a couple of kicks today

Always been a fan but he's a total liability these days. Finally works himself back into the managers mind and then this. Let his team down massively here. Time to move on from him in the summer.

There's no defending that.

On a card you don't go near a tackle. He's not professional, and we cant afford joke players like him.

Love how the abuse Mirallas gets for the red :-)

First yellow was'nt a yellow as ref decided he dived? 2nd was a late tackle admittedly but was was the bloody winger making the tackle? Barkley swans around does'nt have to tackle, mis passes a pass and his still the Messiah :-)

Lukaku's pass was'nt perfect so he had to lunge for it? So its Lukaku's fault?

the refs a [Poor language removed], west ham players especially noble influenced him and the coward red carded him :-)

Mirallas is a good player who we're lucky to have even if he does stupid things at times like that tackle but we need players like him and not osman, cleverley and kone to win stuff :-)
