How many other games has he limped off first half? How long does a normal hamstring injury last?
This lad is crocked and looks as thogh he needs some sort of surgery to sort it out. Either that or he obviously likes playing 20mins per game.

And if he were to go off injured after 20 mins in either of those games then would it have been a woeful decision?
Surely he has been in full training though - which would involve all the things you would physically do in a game and he wasn't subject to a late fitness test. Therefore, why wouldn't he have started?

I hate this blame culture. When something goes wrong there doesn't always have to be someone to blame. Miralles played a good half hour against the Saints and was fine, he's obviously trained since then. There was absolutely no reason not to start him today, and if you're being honest any of you lot would have done the same.
How people are blaming Moyes for this is beyond me. Mirallas had ages out, and played a full 30 minutes against Southampton without issue. Moyes said he thought Kevin wouldn't be playing the full 90 from the get go, there's no way he could legislate for an injury recurrence after 15 bloody minutes.
Saying he 'got it wrong' when he got the okay from medical staff and watched him play half an hour with no issue earlier in the week is absurd. It's not a case of right and wrong at all.
Go look up the recovery periods for hamstring tears and tell me he was brought back early. He wasn't. He had over two months on the sidelines, he had as much time as he should have had and then some.

If every post you're going to make is whingeing about Kenwright then can you please do it in the Everton board thread? It's very boring.

no i ant,its a fierce league alot faster than the greek league.When he been out for as long as he has with hamstring problem it should be obvious not to be starting him so soon.Bringing mirallas on with 20 mins to go when opposition players are getting tired he can get ample time to to stretch him hamstring gradually instead of starting games where players are fast and fierce.Yeh he should be fitter but he isn't at moment has he been injured for a few months.I would rather him come on for 4 games as a substitute than him starting games.liming off then be out injured for another 5/6 games.

last time we won a trophy lad, people need to realise with the small squad we have Moyes needs to be more careful than the likes of mancini, villa boas etc. who can replace quality with quality, we risked baines our best player with an ankle problem against some league 2 opposition, and we start mirallas our most creative outlet who has just come back from reoccuring injuries against a championship side sorry but Moyes should take some of the blame for this.

Playing in the cold weather is the worst thing you can do when coming back from an injury like Mirallas', like other posters have said, he should be brought on with 15 to 20 mins left, ease him back to full fitness.
I remember a few seasons back the same happening to Baines, he just came back from an injury and managed to finally start a match, the trouble being it was a freezing cold Wednesday night game against Arsenal, cue, hammy going after about 10 -15 mins and 6 weeks out.
I just hope he is allowed to sort it out once and for all, even if it takes 6 to 8 weeks or if he needs an operation, then have the operation. We need this kid playing 90 mins week in week out, the lad hasn't finished 1 game for us yet and it just isn't acceptable.
