Liverpool boss Dalglish delighted with midfield pair in Wolves victory

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish was delighted with midfielders Raul Meireles and Christian Poulsen in victory at Wolves.

Dalglish was full of praise for Meireles, who followed up his first club strike against Everton last week with a belter from outside the box versus Mick McCarthy's men.

"He played well last week against Everton as well, and he scored in that game too so he's going for the Golden Boot now I think!" said the boss.

"He's a good footballer and coming into the Premiership is difficult, picking up the pace, but he's getting there. The fact he missed pre-season training with the club isn't doing him any favours either. But we're delighted - not just with his play but his attitude and commitment.

"It was also great for Christian Poulsen to come in and play and be a solid part of us until about the hour mark because he started to tire a little bit - he hasn't had a lot of games.

"He was important for us today in nullifying what they had."
