Every team needs a 'KUYT'

[GATESEYRED]

I fully expect to get a load of abuse for giving my opinon on Kuyt as he seems to get people on the offensive whatever you think of him, While giving '100%' comittment in every game is commendable and in the modern age of pampered players not always to be expected, i find myself asking if teams like Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are in need of a 'KUYT' and the obvious answer is NO!

As an attacking players of a club that has the aspirations to be one of the best in Europe (which is what we are) then he is clearly not good enough, his touch is shocking for a premier league player, he can see a pass but not make it, and the reason he has been moved wide is because he cannot strike a ball cleanly

 

I have supported the reds for over thirty years and do not find it easy to criticise any player that is giving his all for the shirt, but the fact that he plays every week regardless of performance is unbelievable, has a player with such limited abiltiy ever played so many times for the reds?

Thats a matter of opinion.

In recent years the likes of Murphy,Kewell,Smicer,have been the victim of boo boys who didnt rate their ability so its a bit subjective.

 

Going back to Kuyt,I do see your point and I havent been impressed by Kuyt myself for months,in a wide area that is,up front he's done a job for us and thats how I'd play him personally.

[Magic Sponge]

How about you stick it in the Kuyt thread.

[lifetime fan]

Every 'squad' needs a Kuyt.

Kuyt always gives 100 % and never stops til the final whistle, his passing is woeful and he can trap a ball further than I go on holiday, but I can see why succesive managers play him week in week out. Until we get much better players I'd pick him as well, at least he tries his bollocks off.

Quality and a good work ethic are not mutually exclusive.

[Bobby Hundreds]

He needs resting for a few months.

[INTORRESTING]

I think he will be a squad player next year, as soon as we get someone better he wont play as much

[Faustus]

I was watching the match at home last night with my mum and she commented that "Kuyt couldn't trap a pig in an alley" after a miscontrolled pass.

 

Probably the highlight of the 90 minutes for me, because I was in stitches.

[RobbieOR]

Of course every team needs a a Kuyt. But the problem comes when you have Kuyt and Ngog. We have too many players imilar to Kuyt in our team. We need a bit of variety.

I expect this has been posted on another thread but

 

Dirk Kuyt goes into a Burger King and says 'I'd like two whoppers please.' 'Ok' says the assistant, 'you're gorgeous and you've got a great first touch.'

 

I'll get me own hat.

[Guest TK-421]

Negged. Whoppers is a proper noun so it should be capital "W".

[Stu Monty]

I'm starting to think that his wages could be better used. I like the guy but I wouldn't be putting him in the first eleven come next season and he's on big wages for a squad player.

I hope Rafa gets a job quickly

Had to give it up, got a very bad back injury... You know, from all the clapping...

 

Kuyt is the latest in a long line of failed centre forwards who can't hack it up front and get stuck wide right.

[zico]

The last game where he gave 100 % was Chelsea, most others has been more like 70-80 %...

 

For a club like Liverpool to have a striker that is not good enough playing out wide is a disgrace, he simply does not cut it if we inspire to play pass and move football...

 

If we can get good money for him come summer we should sell.....

My first neg. I'll remember this day for ever.

[Guest PurpleNose]

We've got loads of shitter players who need moving on first.

[Ynwa20]

I'd move him on for 6m+ I think. At times, he has a game where you think 'Wow, this guy's important...', eg against Chelsea in Nov, but most the time, I'm bemoaning his terrible touch. I wonder if his workhorse reputation causes him problems, it seems to imply he's all hard work and no talent. Probably some truth in it.

 

Amazing pass through to Torres against Chelsea in November.

 

Meireles'll do it every game though because he's technically a lot better.

[Guest TK-421]

Bump.

[El Rojo]

Kenny consulted with him on the Torres situation at the end of January. He also seems to want him to sign a new contract.

 

I'm with Kenny.

[Funkasy]

Dont know about that, but no team needs cole. get rid asap.
