I've always thought Lucas was shit, I don't see what some people see in him. And he is definitely no Fletcher.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
That was a great goal by him, I think he has been pretty good on a pretty poor Liverpool team
I'm happy for him, I feared he would flop due to physical issues but he seems to be doing ok when not played out of position.
His best game today by a mile.
His goal was disgracefully brilliant today.
Despite his petulent character, tendency to tumble and hideous tattoos, he's probably been Liverpool's best signing for a fair while.

He's not petulant at all. He's too docile if anything. Terrible tattoos I'll agree with, at least he's given up on the comb-over.
He and his wife (or girlfriend, no sure) are fanatical about tattoos. A lovely looking couple.
Can't believe his goal hasn't got more attention.
What a brilliant strike. One of the camera views made it look ever better.
Goal of the season contender.

The lad can really strike a ball so cleanly
sliced it
Class goal, I think most knew he would prove to be a good signing, and he hasn't disappointed.
So much of their play went through him last night, I wonder he'll become less assertive, once Gerrard comes back.

He always could, for club and country. It was the only stand-out feature I could remember about him over the years. Was disappointed at his strikes earlier in the season but as long as he's coming good now.
That was a brilliant goal. Like Scholes against Villa.
Scholes against Villa was a clean targeted hit that flew in(off the underside of the bar as I remember), Mereilles actually sliced the volley and it more like drifted in, he was clearly quite suprised when it hit the back of the net.
completely different strikes IMHO.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Mr. Raul Miereles..

He did 'slice' it, technically, but to me it looked like he was aiming to hit across it to get the right connection on it to guide it carefully. If he was surprised at all maybe it was because he hit it so well.
He shoots a fair bit though doesn't he? Any time I see Liverpool live he's having 4/5/6 shots in a game and most of them are pretty wild.
Still a threat and he is a more forceful passer than most others in the team, even if he's not the best technically or vision-wise, and he's shown good versatility. Looks a good signing.

he is a quality player and his goal yesterday was top notch. Reminded me of Rooney's goal against Newcastle.
He actually has much better tattoo's than the chavvy black & white shit you see most footballers having done. Makes a change....
..... I'm on a homo mission but he is surprisingly stylish for a footballer.
I don't think he was a very good shooter. He tried very often, but the perception I have from is time at Porto was that he didn't connected it well enough to justify so many attempts. He scored every now and then, but more often from runs inside the box, deflected shots etc. I don't remember any "wow" goal from the 5 years he spent at Porto. Scored a couple of good ones in the National Team if I recall.
Nothing wrong with that, the shirt would probably look better as a deep v-neck instead of the u-shaped collar but overall he looks slick. Love the pants.
Hi, were you the one I was having a conversation with when we signed Miereles? You mentioned his style and physique was not suited for prem football? Neither was he considered a technical player compared to others at Porto?
So far under a poor Roy regime he's been the stand out player of the season. Getting better now that Dalglish is getting us playing football again.
Yes and yes I was a bit sceptic of his capability to adapt. I was judging him on what I've seen for 5 years. I'm happy for him that he proved me wrong. I knew he could potentially do a lot better than his final season at Porto but I thought the likelihood of that happening wasn't very high. I guess the new challenge brought back the best of him, a second peak.
Has just scored again today, he's in brilliant goal scoring form and IMO has looked a really good player all season, he was by far Liverpool's best player against us in the 3-2 earlier this season
What do we think, someone we should have been in for?
Scousers are looking much better in midfield these days with him, Lucas and Gerrard

He's a very good player.
Wonderful form. I bumped into his father's facebook casually (friend of a friend) and it's so nice to see how within close families these moments are so appreciated. Top bloke as well, it seems.
Thanks Arruda, nice to hear. Everyone goes through good and bad patches, its the average of both that epitomises how good a footballer one is. Thankfully he has fantastic ball control which about 4 other midfielders in our squad don't have a clue.
Meireles rewarded by fans | Sky Sports | Football | Premier League | News
He did well and all but POTY? feckin' hell....
What the feck
wtf is going with these awards ?
Just goes to show what I always thought. The majority of football fans are cretins.
How on earth did David frigging Luiz make the short-list ahead of Vidic

It's farcical. Mentioned in the thread below earlier today.

Efforts of Nani, Vida and Berba totally overlooked this season, what bullshit!
Probably performed quite above the expectations but nevertheless it's the overall final product by itself that should be rewarded.
Oh is this an internet poll sort of prize? Well, then it's probably all to do with the fans that mobilized themselves the most, and fans usually only do that to vote in one of their club. The award has the value it has.
We all saw how easily an online poll can be rigged with the Miss Albania contest so this shouldn't come as a surprise.

I'm assuming there was a campaign mounted on RAWK or something? How pathetic. Not exactly making up for a potless season is it?
PL medal > Any silly PFA award.
Roy was a genius
He had a good six game run.
Apparently, that's all it takes.

That helps as well as doing good in competitions outside of the league
Luiz over Vidic? If Vidic had hair like Luiz he'd win FIFA Player of the Year
