Meyler was my tip at start of year to breakthrough in prem in other thread, hard tackler good engine, basic enough passing,quite destructive in nature typical bruce player... bit like cattermole...will be confident enough to demand the ball alot, sunderland really struggling with injuries today but good to see him get a run..

Likely to get booked everytime he plays

Yes he did very well there, he had his back to the 'play' ahead of him, so to speak, when the ball came to him, and as he turned he spotted the opportunity to put Bent through and put in a great ball to put him through on goal.
Great awareness. I think Manblue's expression "basic enough passing" is somewhat at odds with that pass, 'visionary' would have been more appropiate
perhaps. Maybe he will turn out to be a soft tackler with no engine though :p

Jordan Henderson hit that pass, not Meyler

Saw this kid playing for the U21s last season and was very impressed. Very physical player but with plenty of skill. Saw first half yesterday and he did well. Has a real chance of making it. Comes from real GAA stock, think his Dad is an inter-county manager for Wexford I think.

He made a shuddering tackle too, lucky to stay on the pitch.

Correct, he's John Meyler's son - former Wexford hurling boss. Played for both Cork and Wexford in his playing days

John Meyler is recently after taking over the job as Kerry senior hurling manager.
As an ex City player, I was delighted to see Meyler playing yesterday. .He has done well for the reserves over in Sunderland from what i know.Hopefully the first of many appearences for Sunderland for him.

Oh sorry you saw one pass from him and know what hes about...you hadnt even heard of the boy yesterday.....

Great to hear he played yesterday. Sounds like a good all-rounder which is promising. Him and McCarthy do seem to fit the modern-midfielder role in being adept in many skills. Bodes well for the future, although he may need to go on loan to gain a bit of experience as Cana and Cattermole are well thought of at the SoL.

Was this for the goal....cause if so that was henderson mate

Was the lauded pass by Meyler not this one?
from the BBC report
'A fine through ball by Jordan Henderson sent Bent clear and Robinson was unable to stop an accurate shot from rolling into the bottom corner.'

Ya but he hes well able to get his age of wikipedia too .....actually better check it :-P

The misattributed visionary pass is a side issue.
The main thing is that the young lad got a chance to play in a high profile league game and did well.

Agreed and hopefully will get a chance to further his claim for a place against barrow at the weekend

Maybe it was, I had read that he got and assist for a goal, and he didn't seem to get one for the first so I just assumed he did for the second.
Seems I am wrong however, oh well!!:o

You probably read it on the BBC match updater, I know I did. They often get these things wrong in their haste.

Yes, it can be hard to pick out players even know what they look like, he seemed to be the right 'colour' and haircut anyway!
I just looked Henderson up here and though it quite funny
"His dad is currently unemployed, but is looking for work."
ie funny in that they feel the need to say he is looking for work!!

So it was Henderson who played the pass in question? Is he elegible for Ireland? I really hope so...he could be the messiah.

UK press ran a story yesterday saying Henderson is being looked at by Capello.

He played a couple of beautiful passes in the cup match, one in particular with the outside of the right boot out to the wing. Looks to have a lot of class about him.

The old man used to lecture me in college as well hes a sound man.

Feel a bit sorry for Meyler. Malbranque is apparently mr invisible.

watching the game chelsea are tearing them apart far to easily its impossible for the lads to get into the game. when they do get the ball its just kicked away

Daryl Murphy playing on the left, and Michael Liddle on the bench as well

This game was literally men against boys in midfield and Meyler had an absolute mare, dove into tackles one after another more like a GAA player and left gaping holes for two goals and should have put challenges in for another two goals which he didnt, that said he tried hard but this game really was a step too far
17/01/2010, 12:15 AM

witht the ball not to bad, but showed real inexperience, he couldnt just sit back and read the game he was to eager to put in big hits on lamps and Ballack which they are well used too and lapped it up, but experience only comes with game time i suppose so not to bad in long run maybe

Just nailed Finnan with a flying elbow after coming on about a minute before. Terrible elbow, Finnan looks OK.

Did it look intentional,, was on sunderland forum there and there seems to be a big reaction many blaming him for loss of 2 points and couple asking for him to be sacked.....
