KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Time to give kyrgiakos a chance??

You no what, my head ache has gone knowing that there's two reds on this thread with a bit of sense. Your right, carra would be dropped and the same people who want him out would want him back in in a instance, there just clueless, thick people who have probably never even played the game

You people want carra dropped and greek put in , all i can say is

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA etc..

personally i don't want carra to be dropped. i just think the partnership of him and skrtel isn't the best. agger should be the one playing alongside carra but it wouldn't hurt giving the greek a chance from time to time considering he's the only cb in the squad who is a threat in the air on corners etc.

1st and foremost defenders job is to defend, anything else is a bonus. I can't see how you'd want to put him in just for corners cus he's a threat with his height, maybe if where getting beat 1-0 or 1-1 an we need to win the game, throw him on but to start with him because of his threat at corners is nothing short of stupidity especially when we have carragher agger who are better defenders and have a better all round game than the Greek

as i said, carra and agger would be the ones in the starting XI if it were up to me. but it's not like skrtel is any better than soto and considering his strenght in the air i would give him some games ahead of skrtel.

Carra and Agger are the opposite players, one is a ball winner whilst the other is a ball player which is the perfect partnership for a team that liked to play the ball on the floor.

Skrtels inclusion in the team probabl;y explains more about the style of football we're likely to witness in the future.

People keep going on about us needing another striker but we definately need a center back who can score a goal or 5 during a season, LFC have only had one in the last 10 years and that was Hyypia. The Greek does have a serious threat at corners and free kicks but he also frees up another player from being marked by the best defender of the opposition. I say throw him in for the next two games and give him a go, I seem to remember he played very well for a few games last year when we were struggling.

yea why not.

So you fancy the Greek to handle darren bent and that new fella they've got, there's a reason his 4th choice. I'm not knocking him, I loved him when he was playing well last season, and was defending him to [oops] as he didn't put a foot wrong in my eyes, especially against the likes of stoke, Bolton and everton who just lumped the ball up in the air. But to leave out agger for the Greek is [oops] and even more so leaving carragher out is insane.

I like the Greek, but I don't think he's good enough to play week in and week out. He lacks serious pace, and sometimes makes rash challenges. I will say that he has a presence in the box and can score some goals. I'd like to see Agger come in for Skrtel because he's more consistent. Agger cannot be played at LB for the fact that he gets beat constantly by fast wingers. I'd also like to see more of Kelly in the first team.
