Mirallas Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) You should have seen the game. Reading was defending like there's no tomorrow. I have never seen a team on fire like that. I think it was the adrenalin of being promoted and playing in Stamford Bridge that gave them such power. If Chelsea didn't have Hazard they would have lost points. I am glad to see that Hazard is doing well but its early days yet for him. He started well in the Wigan games (with the help of Ramis) but he didnt have any impact on the second half. I havent watched the Reading game but the reports are that he did very well, but from a couple of clips I saw (mainly for the goals) some of the defending was a little bit naive. I genuinly hope he does well as he has been a player I have followed for a while, and I think he has the talent to succeed in the Premiership but you cant tell anything after his first two games against 'inferior' opposition.

I think it was the adrenalin of being promoted and playing in Stamford Bridge that gave them such power. If Chelsea didn't have Hazard they would have lost points. Fair enough, I did see one challenge where they were so keen to try and kick a lump out of him that he just flicked it past them and rolled the defender with ease and made him look foolish! Reading played like that quite a lot last season under McDermott and are the one team most suited to the Premiership from the promoted 3. I still remember when they played us off the park in the Cup a couple of seasons back and they will be a good test for anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for that reminder . Haha sorry about that! It was after that superb game against Chelsea where we bossed them from start to finish...Oh hold on... Is anyone else getting less confident about the weekend or it is just me?

Bailey Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 You mean about Aston Villa? Yes. It was a reference to how we have done well against top teams, then let ourselves down against a perceived inferior side and how that could be worrying for this weekend (having beaten Man Utd and facing the perceived weaker team in Villa).

Mirallas Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Pretty crazy how much these Olympiacos fans miss their striker. They feel happy for them, but seem to get genuinely emotional over his leave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfIHlM2rYOw Edited August 25, 2012 by Mirallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztoffee Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Maybe I've been looking in the wrong part of the forum, but I havn't seen anything that anyone has written about the performances of Mirallas to date. TBH I think he's been a bit hot and cold. He looks like he's got the right sort of energy and willingness to get stuck in and also to back-pedal when the need arises. He's been in some great spots for a snap shot at goal, but he's also had times when he's had a shot that was spectacularly bad where other team members have been in positions that were far better and much more likely to result in a goal or at least a shot that tested the keeper (nearly showed my age and wrote 'custodian'). I personally think he's trying a bit too hard at times, maybe a few words from Moyes about choices will sort it. Having said that, it really is refreshing to have someone on board who is willing to have a go at times.....I think we were getting predictable over the past couple of seasons. With Mirallas and Jelly showing form and Anichebe maybe finding his self-belief at last we have some unpredictable forwards that may keep the opposition on their toes. Having tickets for the Liverpool game, can't wait to see it. COYB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 We're only a few games in. It's far too early to judge him yet, and we need to allow him bad games until he finds his feet, should they arise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I like ithat he is a bit gung ho, shooting from the hip. We need that kind of player to. I like his start at Everton, looking forward to see him progress. Bailey, pete0 and Mogsy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideliner Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Mirallas scored for Belgium agaist Serbia - the 3rd goal in a 3-0 win - he came on as a replacement and 2 minutes later scored - but i think he was in a off-side position when the ball was passed to him.

It looks offside as he is beyond the last man who played him the pass but I think he looks very much in line wih the ball, which keeps him onside, lighting counter attack great finish from Mirallas, hopefully he will be back on the scoresheet against QPR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the worlds shortest injuries ever: he's already fit again and training with the rest of the Belgian squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
