NEWS
Meireles showed the form that has been expected of him since his signing and even without the goal would have been Liverpool's Man of the Match. What will happen when Gerrard gets back, I don't know, but King Kenny may wish to reconfigure his formation to have Meireles play more as an auxiliary forward.
Now this anathema to many Liverpool fans, moving Stevie G away from where he has been playing, but remember, he has more depth and ability than any other English midfield player today. He can attack, he can defend, he can hold, and he can cross. Meireles is more limited in his skill set but within that skill set, as was demonstrated yesterday, he can be devastating.
So Kenny is this the time?
THE REAL NEWS
I hope everyone noticed one of the assistant referees yesterday. It was a woman. This is a great development in the officiating program in the FA (Canada has had female officials in major tournament's in the past). There should be no issue from anyone about the gender of an official whether they are in the middle or on the lines. We have a shortage of officials world wide so all associations around the world should encourage the training and use of female officials.
Who knows they may have a more calming influence on the more dramatic scenes on the field, and, if they are like my mother, they will just ignore histrionics of a player rolling on the ground, because they can always tell when you are lying.
Walk On
