Ian Stone: 在球队锋线遭遇伤病危机时，米克尔·梅里诺意外地成为了球队的救星。他原本是一名8号球员，但在迪拜集训后，他被改造成为前锋，并且开始进球。虽然我一开始可能叫错了他的名字，但我现在非常认可他的表现。 Amy Lawrence: 球队在进攻端遇到困难时，米克尔·梅里诺的上场改变了比赛的局势。他的存在给莱斯特城的防守带来了不同的思考，并且激活了整个球队的进攻。我认为米克尔·阿尔特塔可能需要为接下来的比赛尝试不同的战术，而梅里诺可以成为一个重要的选择。 Adrian Clarke: 米克尔·梅里诺是一名天生的终结者，他知道如何进球。他的风格有点像大卫·普拉特，总是能在正确的时间出现在正确的位置。我认为米克尔·阿尔特塔喜欢使用强壮的中锋，而梅里诺正好符合这一要求。即使他不再进球，他也能让球队的结构更加合理。我认为他现在就应该首发。
