Kuyt

[Christianlfc]

Has anyone else noticed the way Kuyt will constantly attempt audacious 1 - 2's with Suarez at the expense of better options or going himself?

 

He seems to want to set Suarez up for chances the way a big brother would playing behind his little brother in the park. It was frustrating the life out of me last night and has done a few times in previous matches.

 

I can understand Kuyt's reasoning. They both speak dutch and can communicate better. Suarez and Carroll are the set strikers and he has lost his spot out in the right to Henderson. This leaves him with being the larger target man which he's never going to oust Carroll as or the link up forward which is not natural or suited to him. He lacks the flair, movement and creativity to play that role but when Kenny plays him its exactly what he tries to do.

 

Slipping through balls and intricate one two's isn't Kuyts game especially when he is over zealous to prove he can link with Suarez. He excelled at this club through work ethic and drive (like his goal last night). It was never for his dribbling, creativity or finishing. His passing method has been relatively 'safe' which doesn't suit the forward role either and he was more appreciated for his ability to tackle & defend.

 

Under Benitez organisation was fundamental with Kuyt, Masch, Alonso or Sissoko we were defencively magnificent and kuyts defensive willingness only enhanced that but its not the same under Dalglish. He wants to counter attack with pace and be the dominant attacking team rather than concentrating on control which we've been used to for the past 7 years. I just don't see where Kuyt fits into a team with that philosophy.

 

I think he knows that himself hence the desperation to show he can link with Suarez to find a place in the side.

I think we may well be looking at Dirk Kuyt's last season at liverpool. Anyone else?

Kuyt is a fucking hero in my eyes

 

he can shag my missus if he wants.

 

that's all i'm saying to that.

Kuyt saved our asses many many times and you count on him when needed. Other than that, he has been very useless this season and therefore I believe that he will be shipped out if a semi-decent offer comes in. We should keep him, but I doubt we will.

I am a little scared what kind of useless imbecile we will buy for 25 million that will be his replacement.

It's been pretty obvious all season that he doesn't suit this style of play. The fact he's played so much is a measure of how poor his replacements have been.

 

Can't help but worry that in replacing him, we may get quicker and more technical but that we'll also end up more spineless and more stupid.

He has a great understanding with suarez and is a good option up front with suarez as he does seem to get on the scoresheet when they play up front together.

If suarez doesnt play then kuyts a better option from the bench for me.

[fowler9]

he has been terrible most of the season and its time he went but he has been a brilliant player and person for the club over the years

[Lee909]

Id love him to be here next year as part of the squad but he wants games as any top player should.Imo he will be off to Italy or Germany for a couple of years and I'll wish him all the best.He has made the most of the talent he has and always runs himself into the ground for us.

Big game player who will be missed and really bought into the club ethos.

We have been blessed to have the likes of Did,Hyypia and Molby who understood the club and were not money grabbing bastards who would turn there back on the club at the first sign of a fight.
