Kevin Mirallas

Kev will have the euros in mind and will want to impress, If Martinez has anything about him he will use him a lot more in the last 6 games

His cameo was one of the few good things about our performance today. I've lost patience with Miralles though. We can't afford to keep hold of someone with his kind of attitude, it stinks. He was in the Echo the other day going on about the West Ham game, saying he couldn't understand either of the yellow cards. Does he think we've got such short memories ? Both yellow cards were 100% justified. And even if they hadn't been, the last thing we need is more excuses from Miralles, why can't he hold his hands up like Besic did this week and say "I messed up, I let the team down."

A good player the last few years, when he has not been injured or on international duty. This season on the bench or dropped/injured but he is a good back up at least. Still cannot see him at Everton next season, need more reinforcements!!

thought he looked good when he came on today ! maybe gonna push for a place in starting line up for euros and wembley ?

Needs to play every game up with Lukaku for me.
How good was he/we at Chelsea away?
Could ignite our season.

Not slating Niasse but funny how Martinez went for his forgotten man rather than his new signing...and I agree Mike, Mirallas did look lively.

they do play different positions like.

Not really, Kev plays wide left ,has played there more than Lennon has. I have only watch Niasse for us and he's mostly come on wide left. Just a comment on needing a goal and Martinez not using him.

Used to be a good player to have this fella. The way he's been handled by Martinez pretty much sums our season up. Was it Kone that kept him out for months at the start?

How on Earth he's played as little as he has is incredible. He scores goals, he makes things happen, he actually impacts upon the game.

What attitude? He's a star player who's been benched all season for whatever reason by the manager. I'm amazed he's caused as little fuss as he has tbh.

Yes

I agree when his head is in the right place. Been ruined by his Manager unfortunately.

and then when he was given a chance he got a stupid red and cost us 3 points. lennon was out of the team when deulofeu was playing well, he came in and took his chance. mirallas didn't.

It's ridiculous. I remember earlier in the season when we were playing good football but just didn't have the players to see us over the line. Mirallas is the type who could have done something in those games to win us the 3 points.

How good was he and we at Chelsea? We looked so threatening. We are now so limp.

But if we're being honest Mirallas is better/more effective than both. If handled well this season I could've seen him slotting around 15 goals.

He's one of our best players and he might as well have not been here for the past 12 months. Whoever you want to blame it's a sorry mess.
