I'll join in that. Nothing like a cult hero to make a shit season better!

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

Its a sad thing but the Greek is arguably one of rafas better signings in recent times

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.

Ronaldo cost 80m
for that you could get about 60 Soto's
I knew who I reckon would win in that football match.

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.

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
