Lucas & Meireles

[fred milne]

I doubt that the original plan was to partner them together but these things happen in football and the important point is to recognise it when you've stumbled on something that works.

 

Its early days but Lucas and Meireles is starting to look like a proper CM pairing. One that's greater than the sum of its parts. Both are mobile, have good technique and have trust in each other's ability to receive the ball under pressure. Lucas in particular looks like he's moved onto another level as a player.

 

If they keep this up, then when he's fit again I'd be tempted to use Gerrard on right instead of Kuyt and leave the other three midfielders alone. Torres and AN Other up front (probably Babel if it was up to me.)
