Liverpool fullback Johnson happy seeing Meireles now winning praise

Liverpool fullback Glen Johnson is delighted seeing Raul Meireles now winning praise.

For victory over Stoke City, Meireles struck the first goal with a great hit and Johnson believes the new attacking role given to him by Kenny Dalglish is paying off with rich dividends.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "Raul has got more of a free role now and he scored another great goal. That's three goals in four games now so the longer he keeps that up the better."

Johnson played in a new position himself during the victory over Tony Pulis's side and he did an excellent job for the team at left wing-back.

He said: "I enjoyed it. I'm pleased to play anywhere so I will try and do a good job whatever position I play."
