There is more to this beautiful game then goals.

well it really isn't a surprise that we're so far off the top with this theory is it? There's more to football than goals of course there is Obviously there is more to the game than goals, even though scoring more goals than your opponent is the only way to win games.

[dawson99]

simple facts:

since going right wing as a team we have been awesomer than before.

we wouldnt get half what we paid for him so whats the point

he'd die for this club and his assit rate is getting decent

he needs to score goals

he looks a bit like sloth frmo the goonies


Looking at the pros and cons, it doesn't make sense to get rid, ergo, we keep him.

[ruskiy playmaker]

Why fix something that isn't broken?  If we continue to win with him on the right, then I don't see why he has to be sold or dropped.  I wouldn't have said this a few moths back, but I think that he deserves another year, because he has been one of our most important players in the CL.

[Leonmc0708]

Rafa has never doubted Kuyt, and I wonder why that is.  Read the things that he says about him in the press.  If you cant see all of those things and more when he plays then  you are not looking hard enough.  There is more to this beautiful game then step overs and goals.

Yep, controlling a ball and passing spring to mind. He can't do either consistently.

He's not good enough, if Rafa can't see that then he's the idiot, not the 40,000 reds in the stadium every week.

Rafa - one of the most decorated managers in the World for the last 6/7 years, manager of Liverpool, who works with all the players and Kuyt every day o the week is an idiot.

Stu - call centre employee of the month, failed bizzie and playing in the I-Zingari second division knows more about football.

Something not ringing true there.

[Thingy]

I really dont get all this praise for Kuyt. Yes he works hard. What else? Alonso and Gerrard, 2 of our worser performers last night, ran and worked harder than he did, fact. Why arent they gettin the credit Kuyt is? Really if anyone thinks hes good enough for us then I really dont agree. Were not exactly setting our standards high are we? I admire his attitude, thats it. Hes really slow, cant pass well, dosent create or score enough, his first touch is shocking. I know alot of you respect him for how hard he works and I do too, im just saying its way over the top. Everytime I see him with the ball i cringe. Hes a shocking footballer. People will say im goin over the top and all that but imo its true. We need better players than him if were gunna win the league.



Plus hes not exactly the nicest looking man alive

Worst post i have ever read

Credit is to be given where its due , he has been excellent ever since moving to the wing and the amount of criticism he has had to deal with is just bull sh!t


And i'm sure you don't look like brad pitt so don't give fecking comments abt how other people look , take a long ahrd look in the mirror

Toffeehater, mate about his looks for a start, that was a joke, so first of all learn to take a joke mate before yer start gettin personal. I have a opinion on Kuyt, you do, everyone does, its pretty even on what people think , hes either good enough or not. Dont get personal and all serious cos you dont like what I say. I respect everyones views on him, mines just different as is alot of peoples.


Oh and by the way, I dont think Brad Pitts nice looking anyway 

Well its not a nice thing to joke abt , especially not for a man who's heart and attitude , is so brilliant . Can you name me another player other then kuyt who gives part of his wages , sponsership , bonuses all to charity? People like ronaldo only look to earn more ulike kuyt , and fair enough point thats what a forum is for .

Oh so he deserves his place in the Liverpool team cos he gives money to charity? Thats one of the most pathetic shouts ive heard in a while. Alot of footballers do. More than youd think. I give money to charity/homeless people ect when I can, does that mean I deserve to play for Liverpool?

I'll give u tenner if u can find where i said that just cos he gives his wages to charity he deserves a place in the starting 11 , he works hard and like ozwat said if he can get 10 in a season like he has now and he's got 7 assist in the premier league alone  , he deserves a place on the right , no other player in the red shirt who plays in his position cept stevie will track back and run foward like kuyt does

You didnt say it, but you implied it. Then again I dont suppose you know what that means. Right wing is a position where 4 players at most in our squad could play there, so saying " no one else who can play there expect gerrard would track back like him" thats leaving 2 other options  And the other player who can play there is Yossi, and he does his fair bit of tracking back. So one option. Not leaving alot to beat is it.

[redhayesy]

listening to aldo"s commentry tuesday night, loved it when he said kuyt was brilliant tonight
if he"s good enough for aldo he"s good enough for me!! well done dirk lad, keep it going!!

[Penguins]

It just doesn't matter what you say, Kuyt seems to be untouchable.

No matter that he was bought as a striker and has been an utter failure. Then he get placed out of position just so can play and gets no goals at all.
Something pennant constantly get stick for. He never scores enough for a winger and just gets assists.

But Kuyt?
The goals aren't important for a winger( which kuyt really isn't) as long as you work hard.
When other players mishandle the ball or make plays break down time after time again, they get flogged.

Kuyt?
Sure, he losses the ball and his offensive upside is zero, but
it is ok, cause works hard.

He has gotten chance after chance playing more than most other players, both as striker and winger, and never makes things happen.
Still everyone loves the hard worker.
It is just a matter of time. Way back he did score etc etc.
Who cares if he doesn't do it now.

Great to have vs Chelski and but what about in a starting role vs Derby, Brum, Reading etc?
Totally worthless again and again making plays break down all the time.

But Kuyt can end this season with 3(2 pens) goals in 35 games and still get 3 goals in 35 games next season and he will still be untouchable.
Yay to mediocrity!

[Rush Job]

One things for sure he`s a hell of a guy to have on your side in a scrap, you get an attacking  and defencive player in one. Show me a forward who tackles as well as Kuyt and it can never be a bad thing having a player who would die for the club. Some people on here should show a little respect, you can find fault in anyone if thats all your looking for.
That said we STILL need to bring in true quality out wide for next season.

Sure, there are no kuyt-bashers on here are there?

Everybody loves Kuyt. 

[LegBarnes]

I personaly like him for those who says he dont have a first touch do you watch the games he is very good on the ball can pick out a pass and 7/10 can get a good ball in the box.

He has ok pace have good footballing brain and dont mind working for the team which as you know rafa likes in his 4-5-1 formation.

I can see him next season really settling down and getting more goals but like most impatiant kids who follow liverpool nowa days i am sure you all be calling for rafa to sell him start of next season and we might miss out one a lad growing in confidence.

Lets remeber about dirk every level he has gone up in football he has been a sucess and i am sure give him one more season and we might see a lad playing some of his best football.

That's what I noticed too, the guy has some good skills and he's also very good at holding up the ball.  It seems like every game he is improving, even his passing is getting better.
