Sotirios Kyrgiakos : The First Impression

1. Ok while we're waiting if there's any surprise new player for Liverpool for the next few hours (is there? I really don't know... but does Rafa has the money to do so?) let's do some analysis of our own. Lets discuss about Sotirios Kyrgiakos.
   
   
2. I think he's performances in his debut game against Bolton Wanderers came at no other perfect timing. Bolton is a physical team. All 11 players can be turned to a rugged bouncer at any nightclub. They are tall, big and strong. This is where Kyrgiakos excelled.
   
   
3. However, I think because it was his first, there was a bit of overtly cautious in his game. He tend to lose the ball simply because he look too much onto Carra. There was a moment when both of them almost lost the ball when Kyrgiakos left the ball mid-way for Carra when Carra was not interested to fetch it at all. Most of the time, when he got the ball in the middle, Kgrgiakos would passed it to Carra.
   
   
4. This could be a tactical decision but hey... sometimes it won't hurt if Kyrgiakos initiate the attack if his path is much clearer to do so. And I keep on comparing him with Daniel Agger - who seldom shy away from doing so, in fact he made it a point in any game that he started that he'd give it a shot.
   
   
5. However, this sort of issue is not a big deal for Kyrgiakos. He surely can be a good defender for us, though I must stressed the 2 goals conceded was very much the faulty of him and Carra. Does anybody dare to question Carra's ability now that he is well over 30 and a bit slow...? I don't. hahaha
   
   
6. So what say you - about Kyrgiakos?
