Better more versatile players?? He was brilliant when played in his position also done well when he went out wide. Even played well under Hodgson FFS!.
So we've got an international player who plays CM,AM, LM. Played very well in his first season (faded somewhat due to being played out of position but even learned that role). Can only get better in his second and people are wanting rid?? Where is the logic!?
We have some money in our pockets and are looking rid of the playes who worked there arses off and proved there class week in week out. Got injured towards the end but was still great for his transition year. Richard Dunne at Man City anyone?? This is LFC and i thought we were better than that.
Who here thinks Meireles is worse than Spearing,Henderson,Shelvey??? Because i think hes the type of player who all of those players should be learning from not being replaced with
Worse at what though? tackling, passing, crosing, retaining posession, winning poessesion....?
Over all I'd say he's better than Spearing and Shelvey but the three of them should be fighting it out for a place on the bench, not the starting 11. As for Henderson,he hasn't played for us yet and we don;t know what his role will be so it's way too early to tell.
