One of the few good things to take from this season!
 
I'll join in that. Nothing like a cult hero to make a shit season better!

I'll second that
 
I do quite like him and he is a decent enough player but I would prefer if we didn't have to use the tactic of throwing a big man in against long ball teams. It allows them to play the game on their terms and puts us on the defensive.

Kyrgiakos responded scornfully at the thought that he was likened to a spartan


they needed 300

He'd need to have fucking long arms too, considering that the Greek would be running away quicker than we've yet to see him move.
 
he really is the most greek looking greek ever...

If there was a greek character on the simpsons he would look like kyriakos
 
Seems a likeable enough fella and has done well as cover in certain situations but he suffers from comparison with Hyppia and Ive rarely seen a player as good as him in the air miss so many headed oppurtunities in front of goal. some of those misses were frighteningly bad.

That said hes 4th choice now and with Ayala and Kelly coming through is there any reason to keep him on the payroll

He's not good enough for Liverpool tbf.
He is a living, breathing symbol of how far our expectations levels have dropped in recent times.
 
*rings bell*

OI!
Everyone Stop slagging off the Greek! He's a hero

Why? A fourth choice centre-back who's stepped in and generally done a very good job when required.

I don't understand how he represents a drop in expectation levels.
 
Agreed. Maybe Stu was referring to the fact that he's played more often than we'd normally expect a fourth choice to have to play.
 
No JJ, I just don't think he is good enough to play for us.
It's not going to be a popular view on here but I just think he shouldn't be here, 4th choice or not.

Agree.... and for 1.5M GBP, he's been a very decent signing.


And he joined us knowing that he was signed as immediate cover, and once those players were fit that he'd be a bench player.

I've liked his attitude the most.
 
Ronaldo cost 80m
for that you could get about 60 Soto's
I knew who I reckon would win in that scrap.
Love the Greek.

11 Greeks plus subs versus ronaldo over a 90 minute match. Of course there will be one winner!

Yeah, I hate 'cult players' because they're fucking shit and I have zero sense of humour when it comes to Liverpool

Zorba's not *that* shit, but I have no interest in him either; he's a fourth-choice CB at best

Bothered
 
Fourth choice CB does him a disservice, IMO. I've been impressed by him from day one, and he provides healthy competition to our backline and it allows Carra and Agger to fill in at fullback when required. He's come to a tough new league quite late in his career and has performed admirably.
