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

haha flames

I think im still shocked at the fact people want carra dropped...

Soto deserves a chance tho at the end of the day to be fair on the fella.

But i dont think we can afford to take many more chances anymore, we really need to get it together now and start playing some reasonble football.

Dingo you are dead right, the last thing we need to do is keep changing the bloody team around. We are really struggling to get to grips with playing good football at the moment and with these stupid changes everytime we play a non Premier league game is just making things worse. No need to rest anybody yet, lets get the team playing good football, get a few wins under our belts and then change things about.
As for the Greek I would definately play him in front of Skrtl at any stage, definately bring him in for the Blackburns/Stokes of this world instead of Carra who got muscled out of it by Berba last week.

The one who suggest to make kyrgiakos regular 11, i advise u go and watch steau buc match highlight again.. He created goals but kyrgiakos is central def, he is suppose to help us keep clean sheet, isn't it?? Watch the goal we conceded against steau buc, u wil see kyrgiakos was caught up by pace and he was supposed to close the guy down.. Kyrgiakos is only good for back-up, he ain't Regular LFC standard!!! For me, we must not drop carra but instead rest him often against so-called weaker team.. We must accept he is 32 and he cannot deliver consistently, and i hope carra accept that too.. YNWA..

think you will find it was Kellys man that scored for Steau, he just switched off at let him run, didn`t even give Soto a shout.
I am not sure Kelly is good enough just yet but to be fair Johnson isn`t doing the job at the moment, he needs to get that stupid bloody hair sorted out. He spends too much time trying to tuck it behind his ears, everytime the camers goes on him he`s at it.
Soto is for certain games only but boy he makes an impression when he`s on, you actually think we may score from a corner for a change. How many goals do Carra and Skrtl score compared to other top teams center backs?

This thread has highlighted one thing for me: we have 6 center backs, all of whom are only good enough to be played 'in certain games'.
Carra - not reliable enough to be first choice, but generally good organizer/leader
Skrtel - too similar to Carra, including reliability
Agger - good all-round footballer but perhaps not quality enough as a defender (but with room to improve), Roy may favour him as reserve LB
Soto - good against aerial opponents, and presents the greatest threat when we have corners (but it's not like we create enough chances at the other end for our corner count to make his inclusion worthy on this attribute alone), not fleet of foot but I remember him being mobile enough to cover Insua's rear end more than a few times
Wilson - inexperienced
Kelly - inexperienced, Roy may favour him as RB

So they're all competing for the same place in the side - second choice CB. Where's the guy we want in every single game? (answer: probably playing for Manchester City and therefore totally out of our price bracket). Guess we're just going to have to trust Roy, eh?

Where is the man marking question here?? Its zonal.. Kyrgiakos didn't have any1 to cover there at that time!! The man sneaked behind him.. He saw the man but was too slow to follow him though.. To be fair it was spearing's slip that caused the goal but wat i'm pointing at is that kyrgiakos's lack of pace was exposed there.. Comparing him to carra there, by far carra pops up..

If u want to neglect defence and want us to score more goals then y don't u suggest us play n'gog or babel rather than kyrgiakos becoz they will score many more than kyrgiakos!! Again, i point out that kyrgiakos is good for back-up and not regular 11 as our defence will be too exposed wen playing against top teams, not like steau buc!!

Die Hard, i know where your coming from, I watched that steaua goal. But any CB in the world would of conceded that goal in my opinion because their striker got to the wrong side of Kyrigiakos and there was no way he was going to catch him with that pace. I reckon even Carra or any other CB would of coneded that goal.

Snakeye well said.!
