Meireles desperate to break Liverpool scoring duck

Raul Meireles is desperate to break his scoring duck for Liverpool.

A stunning long-range effort for his country in Iceland during the last international break showed he is capable of scoring spectacular goals, and Liverpool's No.4 has vowed to carry on shooting in his quest for a debut strike.

"I had some opportunities to score against Blackburn including a great chance in the first half, but the most important thing for me is the team and the victory," Meireles told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"I would like to score my first goal for Liverpool and feel the joy of the fans.

"It is always a special feeling to score a goal and to do it for Liverpool, especially at Anfield, would be a fantastic moment.

"I do like to try a shot from distance during a game and it's something I feel comfortable with it.

"The goal I scored against Iceland was a bit lucky but hopefully I can get one for Liverpool soon."
