Kuyt most underrated player in the team ?

[bobhorse]

Discuse

[odris]

Discuse you for what?

[bobhorse]

discuss even

 

Any way i think his work for the team is undervalued by most supporters he is a cracking player for the team

[JagSquared]

Squad player for me. We need better.

[RSM]

Aurelio is, his composure at left back is overlooked by most.

[Kev Saunderson]

Agreed that Aurelio is underrated, although accusations that he is made of balsa wood are hard to deny. Kuyt has come in for some dreadful stick this season from certain quarters but has delivered when it counts in Europe.

[Flying Pig]

Even with his weaknesses I would not swap Dirk with anyone in his 'free' role. He defends and sets up goals. And Scores.

The thing is most fans rate Kuyt (for his workrate), it never goes unmentioned. Where as Aurelio never really gets a mention for his abilty on the ball and his passing from the back. It's no coincidence that when he went off tonight our ball retention suffered.

I agree that Aurelio is excellent on the ball. To be fair I thought Riise did well supporting the attack and also defensively until that last intervention. I wasn't concerned at all as I thought everyone was coping well. Mascherano and Alonso were screening the back four brilliantly in the second half.

If he had a decent first touch rather than the touch of a rapist he would be boss.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Reckon if we'd signed him as a 'busy box to box' wide midfielder who puts in a lot of tackles and scores a few, we'd all be creaming our shorts about how good he is. Maybe he can become a (albeit much lesser) modern version of Ray Kennedy.

[Stu Monty]

Yes. He is. By a fucking country mile.

[Red Banjo]

No. He isn't. Decent enough yes but not good enough.

[dark train]

Kuyt's no world beater but i've never slated him and never will, I agree with Rafa in many ways he is a wonderful player.

Every team should have a Dirk.

[Woo]

His first touch is pretty good, as he proved again tonight. Because hes not as mobile as say someone like benayoun for example, its means he struggles when a more difficult ball comes towards him that most players would struggle to control.

[Thants]

No. He isn't. Decent enough yes but not good enough.

 

Inter Milan - GOAL

Arsenal - GOAL

Chelsea - GOAL

 

Works his arse off for the rest of the time.

 

Not fucking good enough? Nah.

Blind, fucking blind.

[philyhamann]

Good when the crowd are good it seems.

[Red Jersey]

Yes.

 

7 goals in 11 champs league matches.

 

Works his ass off.

 

Great Attitude(has he ever complained?).

 

=

 

Will become an integral part to the TEAM that Rafa is building.

[taliesin08]

Granted he scores important goals but his first touch is crap and needs to be worked on.

[Red Banjo]

Inter Milan - GOAL

Arsenal - GOAL

Chelsea - GOAL

 

Works his arse off for the rest of the time.

 

Not fucking good enough? Nah.

 

I'd make a list of the teams Torres has scored against if i could be arsed. Im not saying he isn't a good player - im saying he's not good enough and he wont bring us the title. Goals mainly- He's a striker. If your gonna make an argument that he's been playing out of position for a few months - then look up how many Babel has scored this season.

Well somebody had to say it first :whistle:.

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

I'd love to see us get a great right-sided midfielder/ attacker but, if we did, Rafa would probably play Dirk on the left; and he'd probably not complain and would work his bollocks off again. He's not class but he is a true Liverpool player - I've seen much lesser players called 'legs' on this forum.

[philyhamann]

He should stay for sure, though he shouldn't be first choice. Left/right in the current system, I think both sides suit him.
