Mirallas has settled in quickly

, 1 October, 57comments  |  Jump to most recent
Everton's newest star Kevin Mirallas admits that life so far at Goodison has surpassed his own expectations as he continues to build towards full fitness. He also believes his the Blues's sights should be set higher even than just Europa League qualification.

The Belgian international, signed in the summer for £5.3m, said of his first few weeks in the Premier League: “It's going a lot better than I could have hoped for. The settling in period has been a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be.

“That's because of various reasons. My team-mates are really cool with me, they have been great with me. They talk to me a lot and support me a lot.

“The other big factor is that I've spent a lot more time on the field and played in more games than I thought I might have done at first.

“I'm still not quite there physically. I still need a good run of games to be 100% fit.

Mirallas credits Moyes with being aware of his fitness levels when he arrived at the club.

“I had a chat with the manager when I first came here," the 24 year-old continued, "and he was fully aware that I hadn't a full pre-season because I'd had a problem with my knee. I'm trying to catch up on that by playing games.

“I knew before I signed about the physical aspect of the Premier League. I was mentally prepared for that before I even came here.

“One of the advantages of the way I play is that I am quick, so I try to avoid those hard challenges that skilful players with ability like myself tend to attract.

“Before I signed, I was looking at the Europa League being a more realistic ambition, but certainly now as the season has got under way, we have got a good crop of players here and are playing some really nice football.

“It's fantastic that we are second and our ambition now has to be stay up there and put pressure on those around us. It's a long season though and there's a long way to go, so we'll have to see what happens.”

Mirallas came to Everton's attention playing on the left wing at Olympiakos, but has been operating either centrally or on the right since moving to Everton.

And his new manager has been pleasantly surprised at the immediate impact Mirallas has made.

“I actually thought it would take longer for him to settle and for us to get used to him,” said the Everton manager. “He is maybe a little bit different from what we have had.

“We got a bit of a tip off about him. We were told how good he was and we thought he could do well over here but we are not getting carried away.

“He played a lot from the left at Olympiakos, he can play as a striker and he can play on the right. That was probably the position he has been least used in.

“I wanted to add some goals and I do actually think when he plays through the middle he will score more goals. He is doing a good job for us where he is just now.”

Kevin Mirallas is a cracking player so it's no surprise he has slotted in so quickly. He has all the attributes to become a Goodison legend and I am completely with him when his outlook to the season is higher than the Europa league. I know it's early days and there's only just over a 6/th of the season gone but some of the football Everton produced on Saturday was fantastic! So more of the same please!!!

Bilyaletdinov had just as good a start.

Just sayin'...

Kevin certainly seems to be quite a sensible lad from the things he has said so far. I really have been impressed with him especially in the first half of games, becoming tired in the second half (which is to be expected). I just hope he doesn't get singled out in games for a bit of 'rough housing' from opposing players hoping to test his resolve. I really do feel he will become integral to what we do over the next few years......

Nick, one BIG difference between the players after both had a couple of starts: Mirallas = FAST; Bilyaletdinov = SLOW!

That's why Mirallas will be great; you need pace in the Premier League, that is why Donovan done well for us on loan.
John Keating
6 Posted 01/10/2012 at 16:50:19
Have to disagree I'm afraid Nick.
Bily had a pretty decent first game and I seem to remember a great cross for a goal. From then on its was one way and it wasn't upwards !!
If Mirallas never improved from this point on he is already twice the player Bily ever was for us.
One complete waste of space and money.
Mike Green
7 Posted 01/10/2012 at 16:44:24
I'm not sure you can compare Bily's start to Mirallas's Nick (291).

Admittedly Bily looked really exciting to start but from memory only in his first game for me, and he never really lived up to those flashes of potential.

Mirallas seems to be the other way round, I think he looks a class act (strong, pacy, very skillful, agressive, intelligent etc) but you sense we've not seen him at his best yet. He got dug out by plenty on here after his League Cup performance last week but I thought he was OK to be honest, particularly first half.

Not that it means anything but the Times gave him 9/10 for performance on Saturday - the only other player in the Prem they gave a 9 was Suarez. Interestingly they gave three of our other players 8 (Jelly, Osman and Fellaini - more than any other team so I think we essentially got performance of the weekend from them on that basis).

So - for me he looks like a class act who's only going to get better. My enduring feeling when I see him play is that we're lucky to have picked him up, I think he'll be great for us and if we do achive something special he's going to be an important part of the formula.

I am thoroughly impressed with him. His touch on the ball is superb and he has the quick first step and the composure of a Nasri. (Bily never had that quickness.) And the fact that he's had such an impact while admittedly not being at full game fitness speaks well for his attitude -- and his future. I think we've got a diamond here.
Chris Williamson

A brilliant acquisition to the squad. £30m to Man City in January anyone? Surely the football ghods wouldn't allow him to stay with little old us?

Sam Hoare

Still early days but very promising signs. Certainly don't remember Billy getting 3 goals and 3 assists in his first 5 games!
Jack Wilkinson
11 Posted 01/10/2012 at 19:13:54
Don't think that will happen Chris. Remember he chose us over Arsenal because he would get more first team football. Good attitude, that.
Joe McMahon
12 Posted 01/10/2012 at 19:49:36
Sorry Nick Entwistle, can't agree there. I remember seeing Billys first run, sorry I mean jog v Portsmouth. Billy gave us a few good goals, he also cost 11 million.
Kevin Mirallas on the otherhand seems a very useful player who has fitted straight in, has pace, can pass and a eye for goal. Naismith i'm afraid I just can't see coping in the premiership along with fellow Scottish greats Kenny Miler & Boyd.
Anthony Jaras
13 Posted 01/10/2012 at 20:02:35
Kevin is right in saying that we should aim higher and in doing so, he conveys the confidence in the squad. They clearly feel that a top 4 spot isn't out of reach. There's no reason why we can't compete with Arsenal, Spurs and anyone else for that 4th spot, is there?
Jon Ferguson
14 Posted 01/10/2012 at 20:04:27
The big difference between Bily and Mirallas is that Moyes never looked like he had faith in Bily. Mirallas is getting a run in the team, in a set position despite not being fully fit. Moyes looks like he has faith in Mirallas. The other difference is that Mirallas has pace, something Bily was sadly lacking.
Paul Gladwell
15 Posted 01/10/2012 at 20:28:47
Jon, the difference is Mirallas works his bollocks off too. Bily hardly broke sweat to add to him being slow and shitting himself when someone got stuck into him. Watch Mirallas hold the ball; he defends from the front.

He seems to better than Bily so far, he has not had a full pre-season. His work ethic is better than Drenthe and Bily. He seems to have the best qualities of both: the skill of Drenthe and an eye for goal of Bily. I can see him getting goals and assists. He might come in handy if Jelavic gets injured or needs a rest over the Christmas period.

Bily is definitely a better technical player, but Mirallas has pace, skill and isn't bad technically. As well as having confidence and also working hard, he makes a very good signing.

Bily was so slow and had no confidence. So even if he was capable of the killer pass, he never did it. He is never a winger in a fast paced league like the prem, and never a centre midfielder because his positional sense is poor.

That's why I completely disagree with Nick, Bily had a fantastic debut in Europe (he made all the goals I think) but then he fizzled out. He has had some good games though. Mirallas has had some consistent games, a couple of outstanding ones and one bad one against Leeds. He looks so much more promising than Bily did earlier, and I hope the Belgian Ronaldo can continue his good form!

For some reason most Russian players have a hard time adapting to the English game. I think there is a problem of attitude as well the manner in which the Russians build up their play:

The first problem is socio-politico-economic in nature. The Soviet players earned very little money, but were willing to bleed for their country. In spite of having the referees and Fifa/Uefa against them – eg, the farcical games against Argentina in 1990, Belgium in 1986, disqualification from the qualifiers for 1974, not to mention the shameless pitch invasion of the Rangers fans in a European Cup Final – they used to fare reasonably well and were among the best teams in the world.

After communism, Russian football became a pastime for the oligarchs. Billions of roubles were pumped into the clubs and ridiculous wages were paid to mediocre and/or lazy footballers. Arshavin and Bily belong to this generation of talented yet lazy bastards representing the leisure class.

I remember a clip I saw of despairing Russian fans who had been granted an audience with Czar Arshavin after the Russia had been knocked of Euro 2012. Instead of assuming culpability for Russia's exit, Arshavin told the the fans that they themselves were to blame for their coming all the way to Warsaw to watch Russia. Russia's exit was the fans' problem and not that of the players. This is not what you tell people who come all the way from beyond the Urals to watch their country play in Europe!

To me, Arshavin's words epitiomised the attitude of the of the modern athlete: a spineless bimbo devoid of social conscience. When I see Arshavin sticking his tongue out, Ronaldo lying there by the swimming pool, or Mourinho telling the world what an extraordinary phenomenon he is, I feel like pissing all over the television screen.

As for the second problem, the Russians proceed patiently from the back. Midfielders are a natural part of the plot. It is hardly surprising then that Bily was caught in no-man's land all the while Everton were playing hoofball and ping pong. Look at Kinkladze: let him dictate the game and he will set the world alight; restrain his freedoms, as Joe Royle did, and you have caricature of a footballer.

This is no rocket science god damn it. Footballers are like the rest of us. Some of us do not mind letting others dictate their agenda, whereas some among us are like wild and majestic beasts of prey who cannot do without their freedom to roam the steppes.

I have no doubt that by the end of the season he will be our most important attacking player and the most exciting one we've had in donkey's years.
Ian Bennett
23 Posted 01/10/2012 at 22:21:46
He's comfortable and has pace. In the Premier League you have to be an absolute outstanding player to make it without pace or bulk; Kev seems to have a bit of everything which includes enthusiasm.

It will be interesting to see who we can bring in if we can maintain the run, particularly with Pienaar away at the Africa Nations Cup. The TV appearances are racking up which hopefully will add to the coffers. With United looking weak in the middle, can we resist a Christmas bid for Fellaini?

Kev Johnson
24 Posted 01/10/2012 at 22:28:50
Hmm, so Russian players (like Kinkladze) are like wild majestic beast of prey? Yet they somehow they prospered, football-wise, under a Communist regime, with all the restrictions on individuality and loss of "liberty" that entailed? Go figure.

If anything, the opposite of Julian's theory would seem to apply – that they need their freedoms restrained in order to play their best. For instance, Lobanovsky's Dynamo Kiev and USSR in the late 70s and 80s. Superb football, and a million times more entertaining to me than Spanish possession play.

Julian Batti
25 Posted 01/10/2012 at 22:44:46
Kev Johnson: I admit that I did not argue my case as rigorously as you would have liked. I am sure that conclusions other than yours could be drawn as well. It is with football as with organisations: you need the right mix of team players and individualists. As for the "beasts of prey", it was merely an analogy applied to humans in general and not just footballers.

Bily - Mirallas?

Mirallas offers more physically than Bily ever did. Beyond the physical, the critical aspect; self-belief. In the end, even some of us believed more in Bily than he believed in himself. The same self-belief quality radiating off Mirallas.

Interesting we support a Club owner by penny-pinchers. Mirallas, Jela, Gibson, Naismith, Velios, Pienaar even. All this wonderful talent just hanging there to be plucked from the vine.

Kenright etal. If you're intent on retaining ownership, shake some more loose for Moyes come January. You have money to burn. Bily being brought up here, he's the only big-money signing failed. Pretty good right?

Kev Johnson
30 Posted 01/10/2012 at 23:35:26
Very true, Ben. Very true. Kinkladze was Georgian. Still is, I suspect. His mother was Russian, though.
David Hallwood
31 Posted 01/10/2012 at 23:37:30
My memories of Bily's debut was of a rabbitt caught in the headlights with a few nice touches to keep you interested, and everyone saying he'll take time to settle in because he's exhausted after the a hard Russian season.... except of course he didn't.
Danny O'Neill
32 Posted 01/10/2012 at 23:21:45
I like the look of Mirallas; sometimes you get an instinct for a player and considering he is yet to reach peak fitness, initial signs are extremely positive.

I thought we had missed our chance in 2009 and were on the slide, unable to defy the reality of how to achieve success in the top flight of English football. Fair credit, our activity and dealings since January this year has produced what I firmly to believe is our best 11 since the 1980s in terms of quality & attacking potential. Yes we have had to sell to buy but name a business in the world that doesn't work to that simplistic model - even the monsterous Premier League with the exception of Man City and Chelsea.

I am a football pragmatist. Just as I never drink from the cup of gloom and call for heads / bay for blood after a poor run of results or bad day at the office, I am not about to get carried away just because we have had a good start.

We look worryingly suspect at the back; we don't have the balance or solidity typical of earlier Moyes teams. Is it due to form or an ageing Distin or the result of playing more attacking minded, football which inevitably leaves you more open and exposed to a counter attack?

What I will say is what I said at the beginning of the season before a ball was kicked. This current batch should expect to finish top 8. Top 6 is a realistic target and dare I say it, with lady luck on our side injury wise and in an ideal world (which we don't live in) we would have to be an outside bet for top 4 if Chelsea, Arsenal or dare I say Utd slip up.

Sky and Talk Bollox (sorry Talk Sport) never acknowledge us but I tend to prefer it that way, leaving them to focus on their media darlings. We're Everton and will never be fashionable however with the best 11 out we are currently (in my opinion) on a par with Tottenham and better than Newcastle. And, unless I am totally biased or missing something, man-for-man we are better than Liverpool - currently fielding the most average team I have witnessed to come out of Anfield in my memory. I would have said Reina & Gerrard, but right now I would not swap any of their team for any of ours......born in 1971, something I've never been able to say in my life time, even during the brief period of success in the mid 80s!!!

Sorry, went on for longer than I wanted to. Original point; Mirallas - great buy!!

Mike Gaynes
33 Posted 01/10/2012 at 23:47:33
Joe McMahon, must disagree on Naismith... I think he'll be a fine Prem player once he has the chance to play. But that chance isn't likely to come until/unless Fellaini is injured or MIrellas comes off the boil. Naismith's two likely positions are currently held by better players than he.

Neck injuries are notoriously finicky, and Felli gave himself one at the end of the game on Saturday. Naismith might just get a chance in his old Jelavic-supprting role at Wigan.

Fuck me, Julian, best watch out you don't get injected with a polonium-tipped pen or umbrella.

Stephen Kenny
35 Posted 02/10/2012 at 00:08:45
I watched Mirallas at Elland Rd and thought he was one of the ones to come off the pitch with his head up. It will not be known as his finest or even anything like what has come before, but he did show passion and a will to win. It's a pity a few others never followed suit.
Mick Davies
36 Posted 02/10/2012 at 00:26:15
Unbelievably, I now for once find myself agreeing with Julian... eek!

The shower of lazy bastards like Bily and Arshavin are spoiled by too much, too young. Yes, I know that also applies to our overpaid brats, but at least our homegrown lads have something to prove: the nouveau rich in Russia just pour roubles at hopefuls like rain, and it is having a detrimental effect.

I don't think Bily or others like him will fulfil their potential, whereas our Belgian wonderboy possesses a quality sadly lacking in Diniyar: a desire to win, and win with a smile on his face. He is like a breath of fresh air at the moment, and if he's not fully fit, then... wow. His link-up play with Coleman, Felli and Jelly is awesome considering he's only played a handful of games with them.

The game at Leeds can be put down to a drastic change of personnel, monsoon conditions and opposition who played with nothing to lose. I can't wait until Gibson's back, and the middle of the park becomes a closed avenue again; Southampton cut through us like the proverbial hot knife through butter, and I'm hoping for a better display in the middle.
James Martin
37 Posted 02/10/2012 at 00:45:40
I think Naismith will come good, he's trying the right things but it just looks like his fitness, touch and confidence is missing. perhaps a hangover after his cruciate ligament injury. Jagielka and Arteta are arguably only coming back to their best form now. I think if one of Pienaar, Fellaini or Mirallas went down injured, we'd be grateful for Naismith coming on compared to past options of Drenthe, Bily, Osman out wide, Rodwell on the wing.
Kev Johnson
38 Posted 02/10/2012 at 00:56:17
I fancy Naismith to score in the Derby, for some reason.

Irrational, but there you have it.

2-1 to us, since you're asking.

Ben Jones
39 Posted 02/10/2012 at 01:08:40
Ability wise, I'd much rather Drenthe to Naismith.
Vijay Nair
40 Posted 02/10/2012 at 00:59:24
Maybe we should try Naismith in Defensive Midfield? He can't be any worse than Neville!!
Ernie Baywood
41 Posted 02/10/2012 at 01:06:52
I think Naismith will be alright. He got hung for his performance against WBA but that was unfair. WBA were working our right side and he did an adequate job. I think the goals eventually came from that flank after he went off?

Danny O - the idea that we're Everton and we'll never be fashionable is going to be challenged in my opinion. Playing great football on a reasonable budget, one of the most recognizable players in world football (now putting in the performances to match his hair), the best left back anywhere, lethal forward, and what looks like an excitement machine in Kevin.

People won't talk about those kind of players as overperforming very soon.

42 Posted 02/10/2012 at 04:10:20

Danny O'Neill
43 Posted 02/10/2012 at 06:08:39
Bernie,

I hope your prediction comes true....I think!

On one hand I get frustrated with the lack of recognition but on the other I sometimes prefer being Everton. I just hope that should we push on and progress, we don't lose our soul.

Either way a great start and great football from a team that is showing genuine potential. Let's see where we are at Christmas and then get really excited!!

Paul Gladwell
44 Posted 02/10/2012 at 06:58:51
Vijay, give it a rest, we are second in the league playing shit hot football and you are having a dig at Neville who has played well in that position this year and did on Saturday if you managed to get there.
Yes we all cannot wait for Gibson to get back and lets hope we get some more support in January for this position, but at the moment he Is doing a good quiet job, breaking up play and giving the ball to the fancy players, try having a look at his off the ball stuff next time you visit a game, he is getting shit off people for being an important part of a very good footballing side at the moment.
Andrew Ellams
45 Posted 02/10/2012 at 09:27:37
Mirallas looks as though he has that touch of arrogance that brings with it the confidence to do the unexpected, or run direct at centre halves and scare the life out of them.

He is the player Drenthe could have been if he looked up every now and then when he went on a run.

Steve King
46 Posted 02/10/2012 at 11:30:19
I don't know why Drenthe's name has even cropped up. He was a good player but clearly had the biggest attitude problem this side of Andy van der Meyde!! Hence not being able to find a club anywhere in Europe and sitting on his arse this year.

Bily was a huge disappointment, but was a completely different player/story.

Mirallas looks class, I can't wait until he hits full fitness.

Julian #373. What an exhaustive analyisis. The only thing I would take issue with is I don't remember Johnny Morrissey being such a philosopher but as a player he certainly lived that philosophy.
Terry White
48 Posted 02/10/2012 at 16:15:25
Thanks you, Paul, #429, for your voice of sanity regarding Neville. He will never pass the ball 50 yards to one of our players so gets villified. I remember he and Arteta struck up a good partnership in the middle a couple of years ago. Neville read the play, won the ball, and then passed it 5 yards to Arteta. Perfect. Just what he should have been doing. Nothing fancy.
Si Cooper
49 Posted 02/10/2012 at 23:31:26
Not sure how similar Greek football may be to our variety so I have been more than pleased with how quickly the lad has slotted in. He may just be of the type (mentally, physically and technically) who suit the current English game. That is hopefully one of the criteria that the manager / scouts have but still not that easy to spot in foreign leagues I would guess.

Considering he should get more clued-in and stronger, not much chance of a tail-off in his performance level if he stays fit and continues to work hard.

Terry (#474) - on the subject of Phil Neville (or any other player) I would hope that no-one's place in the team is inviolate just because the overall effect is benign, and that adequate or satisfactory will always find themselves under threat from better and best when available.

Vijay Nair
50 Posted 03/10/2012 at 00:20:52
Paul, I do not get to many games being based in Melbourne, but I have certainly watched almost all of of them this season (the Leeds game being the exception). My intention was not to have a dig at Neville. We all know midfield is not his best position, which in turn puts the two centre backs under added pressure at times (I am well happy having him at RB, where I think he does a solid job). Was merely suggesting we give Naismith a go and see how he does there. Its good to have options is it not?

Sorry if I hit a nerve!

Alex Robinson
51 Posted 03/10/2012 at 03:22:58
Ian (#380) - Pienaar isn't going to the African Cup of Nations. See latest ToffeeWeb article :) Can only be good for us though. Pienaar extends his club playing career by not swanning off to Africa on a regular basis, and we have more competition for places in the starting XI :)

I agree with some of the comments about Pip Neville. I think our priority may be getting a defensive midfielder in January, especially after losing Rodwell. Naismith is not the answer, in my opinion.
Paul Gladwell
52 Posted 03/10/2012 at 06:55:21
Vijay, our defence is well protected, two clean sheets in the last two league games, though to be honest any problems we have had at the back has been down to piss poor goalkeeping or poor defensive performances which have nothing to do with lack of support from midfield.
Maybe it's a thing on here but going the game you see things more, you can see what certain players are doing off the ball and Neville is doing a good job there at the moment, he keeps it simple and keeps it on the deck too and this coolness had actually been the start for two of our goals against Swansea and Southampton so why come out and have a go? We are second in the league and you are saying drop Neville for Naismith, when Naismith has been shite actually minus a good performance at villa.
Neville is playing that role that most people fail to see the importance, it took people years to see how good a job Carsley did and the same with Joe Parkinson's and even on here last year people were calling Gibson but until he is fit Neville is best for this job and I include Fellani in the view too.

Mirallas – class.
Bily – ass.
End of.

Great to see people defending Capt Phil. We all know his limitations – but he’s doing the necessary right now – and against the Saints I thought he kept us in the new, patient build up format – rather than ‘Shit, we’re losing, the crowd’s got the hump, let’s start wellying it up front”. Even Howard seems to roll it out to the defenders more now rather than always booting upfield.

Whatever Phil lacks in natural talent he makes up for in determination, pride, drive and a will to win. A superb example to others in the squad. People above have been rightly slagging modern players for their attitudes – and even if you don’t rate Neville at all as a player – you cannot slag his attitude and professionalism. (But, on this website, no doubt someone can).

Can someone please slag Moyes off – I can’t believe I’m on the correct site anymore.

Moyes out...well the real one anyway. He's finally come out as a football manager and sent the team out to WIN games. This is all very spooky and not supposed to be happening.....top of Europes goal attempts stats, playing expansive creative soccer and scoring goals? Time to get back to reality Davie, bring 'kung-fu' Tony back, drop Kevin Miraculous and play Felli in the back four so we can get back into our comfort zone and rip you and your players to bits
