Everton Assistant manager, Steve Round waxed lyrical about the newcomer http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Mirallas-c20751 for his cameo against Leyton Orient, in the Toffees 5-0 win in the second round of the Capital One Cup.
The Belgian International led http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Victor-Anichebe-c36018, before Magaye Gueye grabbed the fifth goal in the second half to seal the
affair.
The Merseyside club recently claimed the signature of the 24-year old from Olympiakos, for an estimated transfer fee of 5.3 million pounds. He has already been deemed by many as a perfect partner for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nikica-Jelavic-c27906 upfront, and has served to strengthen an
already strong-looking Toffees offensive front.
Assessing the striker’s performance against Orient, the 41-year old mentioned that he is yet to get into his full stride, after recovering from a knee injury. However, he hailed his remarkable agility and good finishing in the first half, but felt that he
was not at his best after the interval.
While talking to reporters, he said: “Kevin gave us a cameo of what he's about with his speed, his movement and his finishing… That is why we have got him at the club. He tired quite badly in the second half but we expected that.”
“He missed quite a chunk of pre-season with a knee injury. He's not really up to speed yet but he is getting there.”
The win on Wednesday enabled Everton to continue with their phenomenal start to the season, having recorded wins over Manchester United and Aston Villa in their opening games.
The manager at Goodison Park, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes, introduced multiple changes in his starting-eleven for the Wednesday fixture, but nonetheless, saw his side dominate the proceedings from the start till the end.
Round expressed his satisfaction over the current depth of the squad, and credited the newcomers for making an immediate impact.
“Having everyone fit and with the quality we have got within our 16 or 17 players, we could make those changes and still be competitive. Credit to the guys who came in,” he added.
