The Greek

[Lucky Pierre]

Yer, it will be made for him with the aerial bombardment they will throw at that lanky gormless mongrel twat Fellaini

Exactly. No need for it to be played around next week.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Was he in the Greek team when they won the Euros in 2004?

 

He was injured but he is a first teamer usually.

[tenner]

Playing very well at the moment. Anything played in the air he'll deal with no problem, it's on the deck he suffers a bit. Still one of the best defenders we have at the moment.

He's a defensive midfielder. And a very good one.

[bigal]

It's difficult to think of a player who has turned round his reputation so much in a few weeks, hats off to him.

[Stu Monty]

He's done well but his distribution is criminal though. To be fair it's not just him though, in the Wolves game the distribution of all the back four, with the possible exception of Insua, was dreadful. They just kept hoofing it as far as possible. It'd be Agger +1 for me every time at the back until the others learn how to keep a football.

The problem then is the "+1" and his continually stated position that if he's not first choice he'll leave.

[WhiskeyJar]

Dont get why people are so against him....he has proven to be a good squad player. Granted I feel somewhat unsafe with him when he has the ball at his feet, but he wins nearly all balls in the air and has adapted to our playing style rather quickly.

 

Also added to that he plays with his heart and always looks to help out the team, clearing the ball from the line just shows that he can read the play, not as well as Hyppia but the Greek has done well and can only improve.

 

I dont get why you guys state that he is shit even though he has perfomed so well these past few games.

 

Have we turned that cynical?

Saying that, some passes Skretl made have been pretty good against Bolton.

[Wor Horse]

He's not actually shit at all.

Martin is definitely a very good passer, he showed also in the past that he is not hoofer. But he should do it more. Yes, sometimes he hoofs it, but who doesn´t?

[Wor Horse]

He's actually a big house DJ under the name of Steve Angello as well.

More often than not Carragher is the one doing all the hoofing but then again so does every CB worth their salt.

[old skool tom]

he looked shite at first and i thought he was going to be another transfer fuck up but hes improved a lot and is looking like a decent player.hes no jocky hansen or big sami and he does look like the type of player whos a penalty/red card waiting to happen.but hes defo improved and could well become a useful player to have in the squad for a couple of years.

 

keep it up son

[Mathewbet1]

hes greek hes great he'll smash yer mas plates

[Guest Ulysses Everett McGill]

He must be

 

Rafa signed him

[grandrake]

I might hoof a bit, but I'll keep you safe.

 

[Manny]

I like him. He's not perfect by any means and I'd rather see other players in the back 4 in time but now we're going back to basics and building on clean sheets (for better or worse), his aggressive attitude and uncompromising style is most welcome. According to Rafa, one of Davies' famous elbows knocked one of his teeth out, but as has been said despite his aerial prowess he never got out of the Greek's pocket.

[Steve Holt]

He lost a tooth against Bolton. No one seemed to notice, least of all him. He's the "hard" that Skrtel should've been.

[Squabblefest]

We look less vulnerable on set pieces.

For that alone, I'd have him in.

[Bill]

At least he seems to give a fuck, team-mates take note!

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

This season we've been back to the pre-Sami situation, lob any high ball anywhere near our box and we are in trouble. Don't think this has a very positive effect on the team.

 

Kyrgiakos has stopped this. Limited footballer yes, but the same could be said of a couple of other of our regular defenders also.

 

In addition he has actually made me believe that we might score from a corner this season. Has posed more of a threat in a handful of games than Carragher and Skrtel combined have managed in their Anfield career so far.

 

Will definately struggle against Arsenal (or any PL team on the deck basically) but he adds something at the moment which we need.

[Maldini]

Credit where it's due, he's been great. He's nowhere near good enough for us in the long term (assuming we don't go into meltdown) but his attitude has been spot on and his no nonsense defending has been exactly what was needed.

[BexBissel]

Fucking Legend.

Totally agree,been great. but cant see him being here next season.
