Shame we only saw him every now and then I really don't think he got a fair chance to play. The safety-first approach from Koeman and Allerdyce has no room for his kind.

You only get an assist if the player you set up scores. Barkley was in the top five in Europe for his age bracket in creating chances. I could set you up for an open goal with all 11 opposition players at the opposite end of the pitch... the ball on the line and an arrow pointing where to kick the ball.... but if you fluff it, I don’t get a Football Manager stat. Not that it matters, one is gone and the other is hopefully off. Let’s look at Gylfi and Rooneys stats 😉 Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash in the pan player with a suspect attitude, had more than enough chances I meant during the Koeman and the so-far-Allerdyce campaign. I should have been clearer about that. I like a little hard-working "madness" on the pitch and I thought Mirallas would have been good at that if given the chance (especially when we got rid of Naismith. I liked his style and hard work).

Maybe he thought he would get a move to a bigger club or maybe he just wanted to leave the country but when you don't want to be at a club your performances will suffer. No matter how much you say you are giving 100%, it's not true. Wha wha wha what? There are bigger clubs than EFC Well. I wish Mirallas the best of luck.

Ah I get you, to past it for me hence his minimal use plus I have a feeling he made a cock of himself whilst Lukaku was here behind the scenes Agree with many though when he came here he was brilliant at times if he'd kept his head down and been more consistent he would have likely moved onwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Mirallas has always been a bit of an enigma. You can tell there is a good player in there, but it was rarely seen. You'd think we'd have seen the best of him under Martinez, but he didn't play that much then either. I'll always be grateful for his good goals, just not his attitude.

Quinn31 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 He's been stuck here for a few years too long when his heart has been elsewhere - I think he's lost a step of pace which has always been key to his game. He's a direct player who likes to get in behind from the wing and is great at making diagonal runs to add to his great if finishing - I loved him in his heyday, but he needs to sort himself. Olympiacos as a club seem to be in a bit of turmoil, so maybe not the wisest move to go back there, but I think he needs to take a step down to a lower league like Turkey, Portugal, *maybe France* and ideally at a club where he can be one of the top players. Clearly prefers to be a big fish in a small pond, though maybe his love for football has gone entirely. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately -- and in retrospect -- he just isn'tt good enough for our ambitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greek league is considerably lower in standard than both Turkey and France so if he can't perform for the side that has won the league there nineteen times in the last twenty-one seasons then he's no chance of succeeding in either. I'm going to be in Greece two weeks today and pretty much everyone I know over there is an Olympiakos supporter, wearing an Everton shirt over there always got me into conversations about Kev, they loved him; be interesting to see their thoughts on what's gone wrong this season. markjazzbassist and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Shukes Posted April 27, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 His problem is that he feels he is a poor mans Ronaldo. He believes his own hype and this has festered into a massive ego for him, which in turn means a bad attitude. His problem has always been attitude rather than ability. Another could have been!
