He's been doing it ever since he got here, it's funny how much stick Aquilani got for supposedly being lightweight but this guy is like 5x worse both on the ball and off it. It irritates me so much sometimes, he never goes up for headers he just tries to block off the opposing player or keep them from getting a good clean header on the ball.

what rubbish. unlike Aquilani, Meireles is a constant goal threat on a regular basis.

and so what if he avoids tackles? just because a player plays for a club we support doesn't mean he should go around throwing himself at challenges. firstly, there's always a risk of injury. secondly, if his challenge happens to be rash, he might get red-carded and then all of you will come out and say it was a stupid tackle bla bla bla.

The problem is not with avoiding tackles ,but his failure to do what he was brought here to do, he wasn't brought to Score goals (although thats a welcomed balance) he was signed to deliver the passes to goal ,to give the balance in the midfield ,to show some creativity..So far he is incosistant ,disappears too much during the game and didn't convince me he can handle the EPL fast pace decisions.

only me you have to be the most negative git to ever grace this forum. how about concentrating on what a player can do instead of constantly bleating on about what he can't do?

i love it how you say mereiles wasn't brought here to score goals he was brought to create. how do you know this exactly? our manager at the time didn't even know what he was brought to do. hell he didn't even know what his position was. :laugh:

it's his first season in a new league and since christmas he's been outstanding in all but a few games. of course he'll be inconsistent. you caould say that about every player we have bar maybe reina ffs.

honestly some people need to lighten the hell up.

I came to the conclusion a long time ago this muppet is nothing but a wind up merchant trolling the forum.

Don't feed the troll.

That's the point I was making, last year Aqua was beaten with a stick left and right for not tackling when he was never meant to do that but now Meireles gets absolutely no stick for it. I was irritated by people that griped so much about Aqua last season for really stupid reasons that completely stemmed from his price and not his actual play, which was pretty damn good. Anyway enough straying off topic.. sometimes I do have a problem with how weak he is in the tackle and how easily he can be shrugged off the ball.. if he keeps scoring though it doesn't really matter I guess. I don't see him maintaining this goal streak he has going on though and if he's not in midfield we're missing out on a great partnership between him and Lucas. I'd still much rather have him in the middle instead of Stevie.

I thought the forum was for voicing opinions no matter how negative/stupid/delusional they are....I'll give you that i'm quite passimistic but i think this past 2 years proved me right no? The problem here that people don't relate to the arguement but to the person and this becomes a contest of insults. Gotta say i find you lot to be an infentile bunch ,as if we all sing along the team will play better.

As to the thread..You wrote how do i know Meireles was brought to create...Well did you try and looking at his career maybe? What position he played all his life maybe? He hardly scored in Portugal so i assume we didn't count on him doing differently here...As to inconsistency yes you are right they are that way ,so whats your point? because the rest suck balls so should he?

I'm lightened my friend i just want to see LFC rise to a new era ,Meireles has still yet to prove his part of this puzzle.

When fit IMHO Aquas better then Miereles, just shades it for his overall play. Thier both brilliant player though, thats why id bring him back unless Juv give us atleast what we agreed. Infact unless we need the money id still bring him back providing hes over his injuries. People might say that he didnt settle but i think thats more to do with the fact that Rafa wrapped him in maybe a bit to much wool when he came back. I remember a quote from his agent at the time saying that Aqua felt he could be more involved then he was.

I dont know if anyone can help me out but i think Aqua must of only played about 20 odd games surely, so if we can compare the 2 again they offer the same ammount really.

Aqualiani Appearances 2? Goals 2 Assists 7
Raul (so far) Appearances 29 Goals 5 Assists 3

Dont forget aswell Meireles plays further forward then Aqua did for us.

If were looking at what can be done realistically in the summer i wouldnt mind getting in Adam and having a front 6 like this

Aqua Adam

Gerrard Meireles Suarez

Carroll

i don't want Aqualiani anywhere near our first 11...let along starting alongside Raul.

by **RedSi35** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 5:29 pm

Christ people keep going on about Aqua..........

He doesnt want to play for us, never did and never will again, i think he has said as much so anyway.
