Dalglish: Meireles’ goal spree no tactical miracle

LIVERPOOL manager Kenny Dalglish insists midfielder Raul Meireles’ impressive goalscoring form of late is entirely down to the player’s talent and his adaptation to English football.

The Reds boss said he was no “tactical wizard” and the Portugal midfielder’s four goals in his last five matches were all a result of the 27-year-old’s hard work.

Meireles had not found the target in his first 21 matches after joining from Porto in the summer for £11.5m €13.6m but has suddenly burst into life in front of goal and will hope to add to that tally when Wigan visit Anfield this afternoon.
