KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum will meireles start right away ?

I've read that he will start and frankly I am very excited about him, I've seen him in several club games and he is a great player. Our line up for Sunday and the season look very promising to me.

My friend who's a big portugal fan rates him highly. It's a major coup for us he says. We'll see how it goes.

I think that Poulsen was more to cover Lucas than Masch. Lucas will be gone in January barring a massive improvement on his part.

I assume Pulsen will hold/defend and Meireles will manage the game and work in the attack. Makes sense but I could be wrong, in any event, I really like those two in the center and I see them causing allot of difficulty for other teams trying to establish an attack.

I agree that that is the strongest centre partnership we have but if Cole is playing the hole then Gerrard will be dropped back alongside, I assume, Raul. Personally I would put Cole out on the left but I dont think that is in the plans at the moment.

Raul surely will start against united after the encourging 15mins against birmingham.

In my opnion it's vital he starts for us, we lack quality as it is, we cant afford to leave him off the pitch. We should play him on thursday aswell to help him get into the swing of things.
