The Greek

[New York Red]

Looks like a cross between this guy and this guy:

The partnership of him and Carra was pants. All his passes went sideways to Carra. they slowed down play far too much and had no ability to shift play forwards. Never want to see those two play as a pairing again.

[billybunter]

very true. Carra's long ball forwards

[Mr Makaveli]

Defnsively I tohught he played well but yes...

 

I think Carra was pretty aweful tonight and should have been shown a red before that anyway.

[Loblaw]

Think he's miles off the pace meself. To be expected really.

 

Got caught badly for their first too. Gets sucked towards the ball when he should be aware of where Zomora is.

[New York Red]

That back four was woeful today. Really awful.

Thanks. Made me laugh even if I feel miserable.

[Keita]

Fulham were happy for him to have the ball. Thats says it all really.

[Jarg Armani]

I think Agger coming down with the flu really hit us badly today.

 

Don't think the first goal would have gone in, and obviously the football we play with him there is miles better, as someone's already said.

[Loblaw]

Jesus, that's a shocking revelation. The opposition happy? To let a centreback have the ball? Who'd a thunk it?

 

Far more worrying was Fulham being happy to let Voronin, Kuyt, Lucas and MAscherano to have the ball.

Carra should be fined every time be punts it forward.

Carra is a marked man. Every ref knows his legs have gone.

What struck me today about the Greek was how brilliant he'd look playing a Lambeg drum in a Loyalist flute band.

I have to say that I've never, ever, seen a Lambeg drum in a flute band

Setting the pedantry to one side, there are a few that do - it's not more widespread because of the way it slows the marching pace right down, making it even more apt for the Greek.

[MFletcher]

Loyality flute bands are rather excellent, but would become fully excellent with the presence of the Greek.

[Cheesecake]

no pace whatsoever, not whats needed in this league, weak as f*** in the back line

a stop gap, passenger

[Nebraska Red]

I've seen tankers turn quicker than he does.

 

In one piece I saw, he literally watches the Fulham attacker turn past him and shoot for goal.

 

No real money and we are reduced to buying this kind of player when we shud have been after quality back ups.

[Bootle Buck]

We should never have let Sami go. Rafa should have promised him a certain amount of games. FFS he could have played in every one the way our defence has looked this season.

[D.Boon]

For the money we paid he was never going to be quality was he?

[carrafan]

For the money we paid he was never going to be quality was he?

 

Not necessarily. Rafa has made some shrewd buys for cheap players while having others who were quite terrible. Kyrgiakos is simply a horses for courses player, he'll do well against physical teams who provide an aerial threat while not being as useful in other games. If Agger, Carra and Skrtel manage to stay fit for a lot of the season, Kyrgiakos will provide decent backup to those three which i'm okay with.

[john_lfc]

He's terrible

 

Unfit, slow, overweight and his reading of the game is poor

 

The only positive thing he has is that he is good in the air

 

Bad signing

We know, you've said. Agger was pathetic for their goal too but he's seemingly immune to criticism.

Kyrgiakos isn't very good. We got what we paid for there alright.
