Liverpool boss Hodgson hails “exceptional” MeirelesMidfielder earns praise![]() Meireles spoke last month about feeling increasingly comfortable in his new surroundings, following a summer move from FC Porto, and the 27-year-old’s showing in the 3-0 victory over Villa added to his growing reputation at Anfield. "With Raul Meireles it was always just a question of time," said Reds boss Hodgson. "He came from a different league but I never doubted his quality as a player. I always knew we'd get something out of him because of his exceptional ability. "I'm sure we'll get even more out of him now, with the more games he plays as he settles more and more into life in England." The win for Liverpool means they are in 8th place in the Premier League, seven points adrift of the Champions League places. Meireles has made sixteen appearances for his new club so far this season, with thirteen coming in the league and a further three in Europe. Follow PortuGOAL on Twitter and Facebook! |
I have one name for you. Essien.
I wish him luck. I've the feeling that this season we will see Meireles again in Dragao with Liverpool for Europa League (and I hope he lose next time eheh)
