I would love to have Roy Hodgsons' take on this one, back in summer he had splashed out on bringing FC Porto's 'exciting' midfielder to Liverpool. Under Roy Hodgsons management he has failed to live up to the expectations that had been put upon him and to fill the void which was missing due to Javier Mascherano's exit to Barcelona.
After a few hard months which all the players in the Liverpool team felt not to mention how much us fans despised the direction the team was going through under the control of Tom Hicks and George Gillett with also Roy Hodgson failing to get the team playing well together, change had to come and with that we saw new owners and saw Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish have another stint as the Liverpool boss.
Under Kenny's reign Meireles found his form during the Mersey-side Derby which saw him score a goal, Meireles kept it up with scoring an awesome right footed volley against Wolves http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by9djdXeVEs&feature=fvst he continued his scoring with goals against Stoke, Chelsea and Wigan these goals gave him five goals in six games for Liverpool. Following his new found form he was named PFA Fans' Player of the Year. I for one could not have foreseen his career at Liverpool to take off this well after a lackluster start to this year, so I'm guessing that this is now egg on my face as one of my friends had said that Meireles would soon find form. I had always thought of him as a defensive mid kind of player because of his awkwardness when running with the ball at pace he seems uneasy with it on attack, not to mention he looks similar to my mate Healz. So heres to hoping he will continue to impress the rest of this season and onto next, though I'm skeptical on what role he will play next year for the team.
Also this morning it is interesting to read that Kenny Dalglish is keen to try last years flop Alberto Aquilani after he returns from his loan with Juventus, if he can find his place in the team and be able to compete with Gerrard, Lucas, Meireles and Spearing for the centre mid places then good on him but as a Liverpool fans perspective after what we saw of him last year I can't see him bringing much to the table, we did see a few glimpses of what he could do last year when he did play but all round it was a below par for the 20mil rated player, but I love to get proved wrong with players thats the great thing about football.
In other news, I think its about time Brad Bainbridge writes an article and to declare to everyone who reads this about how crap his team is on Soccer Manager.
Also check this from the 22nd Hillsborough Anniversary, pretty moving stuff if your Rafa Benitez to get a standing ovation and chanting from the crowd after being acknowledged by one of the victims family members. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXge4Ar_Dyw&feature=player_embedded
