Meireles Believes Carroll/Suarez Partnership Is A Recipe For Goals

Raul Meireles can’t wait to see Liverpool’s new strikeforce in action when Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez are available to start matches together.

The Portuguese midfielder has been hitting the back of the net regularly himself in recent weeks but he believes the Carroll/Suarez partnership is a recipe for goals.

“For me, Luis Suarez was man of the match against Wigan,” said Meireles in an exclusive interview with LFC Weekly this week. “Straight away he played very well and showed his quality. He wants to help the team and he has the right spirit, which will be good for us.

“And when Andy Carroll is fit to play again he will also be a big player for us as everyone knows his potential. This will be great for us as they are two fantastic strikers.”

Suarez’s immediate impact was underlined when the Kop sang their new Suarez song to the tune of ‘I Just Can’t Get Enough’ by Depeche Mode, but he isn’t the only player to be immortalized in song recently.

At the Wigan game a new tune to hail Meireles was also in evidence.

“I haven’t heard them (the songs) but of course it is very good for any player when you have the supporters singing your name,” said Meireles. “It shows that they like the job we are trying to do. Did I have a song in Portugal? At Porto every player had a song, some had big songs and some players had more of a cantic (chant).”
