Kuyt

Had the touch of a rapist last night and his passing was below awful, it was really hard to fathom how a professional player could pass the ball so badly so often. Surely he won't start against Wigan.

[philyhamann]

Can't shoot either, I never get too excited when he has the ball int he box and is shaping to shoot because 9 times out of 10 its a weak shot straight at the keeper.

Superman. Its a popular comic which was turned into a TV series and Film.

[Brownie]

That shot was really frustrating to see. It took him a couple of touches to get the ball under control in the first place as well.

[Carra_is_legend]

The only player I'd drop Kuyt on the right for is Gerrard, a move I'd wholeheartedly advocate.

Many more (probably most) wouldn't though, so dropping Kuyt is not a black and white issue, IMO we have no-one, Gerrard apart, who could do a better job than him out there.

 

We have Babel and had Pennant. Pennant was never used for one reason or other - the reason only Benitez knows. You could argue Babel's attitude does not warrant a start over Kuyt but I'm only looking at football reasons.

 

If Kuyt has a stinker, why not try Pennant or Babel on the right side? If they both have stinkers too, may be come back to Kuyt. If Babel has a bad game, he is dropped, if Riera has a bad game he is dropped, if Keane has a bad game (or even a good game) he is dropped, Kuyt continues to have absolute stinkers but he starts every game and finishes every game. Where is the competition for him Rafa?

 

Kuyt is NOT a right sided player. We can get away in some games by playing him on the right of 4-2-3-1 but we will NEVER get away with playing him on the right of 4-4-2. As a striker, he has done his best to prove he is shit. Sell him in the summer - whatever we get for him will be a bonus.

[Captain]

Because his first touch is shit. And his second too.

 

I disagree, I think his tackling is good.

[Antynwa]

We, or rather Benitez has ruined Dirk Kuyt.

 

He was a quality player in Holland, and he is a striker, who was turned into a Right Winger, and often plays upfront, to no avail.

 

I really like Dirk Kuyt, and when I say Like, I mean love. He has less ability than Ryan Babel, but Kuyt looks like he gives a shit, which gives you alot of leeway, he should not be playing where he is in domestic competition, in Europe it works, but not here, he gets caught out far too easily.

This means nothing in all fairness, Dawn French would bag double figures in that league, same goes for France.

Aye.

 

However, I also agree with Ant's post - end of the day, he is a striker. Not a right sided player. If he is not good enough as a striker, he should be sold. He hasn't got any attributes to be successful as a right sided player.

Agree to some extent with the bolded text. Kuyt is severly lacking in a 4-4-2 but is the best option in a 4-2-3-1.

Pennant is/was useless, whatever the formation. No goal threat whatsoever and his crossing pathetic.

Babel is a puzzle. I thought he'd be the preferred option on the left of a 4-2-3-1, but for one reason or another that's not happened. Well, quite frankly, the Keane signing has fucked us up really.

 

Barring Gerrard to me, Kuyt on the right is our best option, with Babel cuttng inside from the left (the lad can't seem to cross a ball).

[The Dude Abides]

Stop worrying guys, i have it from a reliable source his new contract will be sorted soon and sharpish.

Rafa's contract or one for Dirk?

[Red Mist]

Just get rid of all the Dutch players. When was the last time we signed a decent Dutchman? That crappy right back whose name I've forgotten, Meijer and Zenden were at best, mediocre, and now we have Kuyt and Babel.

The Netherlands is supposed to be the land of total football but they've supplied us with a stream of mediocrity for years!

[The Dude Abides]

Rafa's contract or one for Dirk?

 

Kuyt's. I thought i would ease the worry a bit.

[Guest TK-421]

Kuyt deserves a new contract.

[Thants]

Of course he does.

[Faustus]

Kuyt deserves a new contract.

 

Why?

[Guest TK-421]

Why?

 

Because.

[Faustus]

Because.

 

Ok.

[Guest TK-421]

Ok.

[Carradona]

Bullshit.

[stringvest]

Does he fuck deserve a new contract. For playing absolute dogshit for 80% of each of his seasons here, he deserves a kick up the arse and a P45.

[Section_31]

If Kuyt carries on playing for Liverpool Football Club, It'll be just a matter of time before I freak out like Arnie at the start of total recall when he smashes his helmet on mars.
