Raul Meireles has been a great for Liverpool, I always knew he was gonna come gd for Liverpool. Now hes a vital player for Portugal team, hope he keeps the form up and even raise it !

I was never a big fan of Meireles, but he has proved me wrong. He was great in the World Cup as a box to box midfielder. More importantly he's a smart player that knows when to stay or track back, instead of moving forward. A trait that Fernandes has yet to learn.

I watch a lot EPL matches, and the one thing you can't dispute is his husttle. Meireles just doesn't stop. Let me also add that his passing has been erratic at times. I know that Torres got a lot of grief for not hustling, but some of the deliveries were just awful. And yes some came from Meireles.

What is going to be very curious is how Dalglish will continue to use Meireles with Gerard back from suspension. Verse Stoke they went with a makeshift lineup where Kuyt and Meireles were the listed forwards. Meireles sat right behind Kuyt, which used to be Gerards spot. But during the match it was mostly Gerard that stood in that spot with Meireles settling behind him. That is most likely what to expect, especially since Meireles can track back better.

Meireles has been a great signing for Liverpool, just for his energy alone. I know that Kuyt brought some of that, but more was needed. I also think that Suarez will settle in nicely for them, as should Carrol. What will be interesting to see is the formation. Especially with a weak backline.

gee thanks danny ill make sure to notify raul so he can relax now.

he will and is a fantastic player no doubt, but the best? i think he wont get to be compared to the great Figo, Rui Costa, Joao Pinto and others i may have missed..

I'll admit I was a Meireles hater and created the nickname Raul "Merdaeles" for him, but since the World Cup his been growing on me. I've grown to appreciate his game and will no longer call him another average player. His just one of those midfielders who does all the dirty work in games that goes unnoticed. I've grown to respect his versatility and the skill he brings at tackling, passing, and even shooting, although sometimes his shots look like his playing American football instead of real football lol. But hey its better to shoot on occasion and sometimes score then not at all.

Raul is the most under rated player in Portugal football .And i think it all change now.Also i think he is going to be the greatest midfielder Portugal has ever produce.
sorry bad English

I also saw people criticizing Tom Kundert on here when he wrote good reports about Mereiles play for Portugal. He is our best midfield player in my opinon.

Always knew this lad was class player. We still have yet to see the best of him. He can only get better abd better as his confidence rises! Brilliant!.
