When Mirallas decides to make an impact on a game and when we have played to his strengths, he can be unstoppable. You're also right in saying that he is an important factor in the way be have played in Europe this year. However, he worries me at the moment.....attitude/mindset etc...There have been so many occasions this year where he has failed to make an impact on the game and considering the talent he has, you have to question why he isn't ripping it up more often? Is it our tactics or attitude? Based on this I am not too sure how much of a miss he will be tonight.

I just think we need to have the right balance for tonight, (sounds obvious) not too defensive, but yet not too 'all guns blazing'. I've included Kone, just for that foil for Lukaku and Naisy. The fact that we seemed to have used Kone as a foil or linkup player in the last couple of games probably says something about where we are with a number 10.

Ok people, my first post on the forum so please be gentile. I couldn't think of another, more suitable way of making my first comment other than having a go at the lineup for tonight. So here goes.... Howard Coleman Stones Jags Baines McCarthy Gibson Besic Naisy Lukaku Kone At first glance I thought width may be an issue here but I think width can be created (if needed) through the marauding Coleman and Baines and possibly when Kone and Lukaku pull off their markers. I want a high energy side, hence the inclusion of a central McCarthy, Besic and Naisy.
