The league, Champions League and FA Cup with just one striker who is trying to avoid his 4th hamstring injury of the season. All this when we are chasing a league title. Waiting in the wings we have Dirk Kuyt, the most maligned forward we have seen at the club in god knows how may years. We have David Ngog, who has so far looked young, frail and inexperienced or there's Ryan Babel, a self proclaimed striker whom Rafa has never had the faith to even play in his favoured position in any game of significance since he arrived at the club. And then we've got a couple of lads in the youth team who (despite a decent pre-season) have never got anywhere near the first team. I'm simply amazed that the manager has let his squad get into this predicament. We're relying on Torres staying fit for for the rest of the season and on Babel turning himself into a first class striker. Otherwise we are completely fu...c...k...ed. Anyone disagree?
bang on mate, the whole situation is a disgrace and has left a real sour taste in the mouth. What the hell are our options now?
Bang on.
But we all know how much Rafa overvalues Kuyt.
If Torres is injured he believes Kuyt is more of a threat than Keane could be. And even if Kuyt doesn't score for 10 games in a row as a striker, like last season, Rafa will still continue playing him 90 min game in and game out![]()
Number of titles won with Kuyt in the team until today: 0
More to the point, I am convinced Keane was parry's signing
which made Rafaand looked for an excuse not to play him. Sub Keane after 60 min every game, unlike his lovechild Kuyt who never gets subbed, and bench Keane after scoring 3 goals in a couple of games.
Rafa has never to this date understood the meaning of "in form players".
Better to have Kuyt who never has any form, good or bad, just average every game.
Number of titles won with Kuyt in the team until today: 0
So now Kuyt is the reason we havent won the title ?
Number of titles with gerrard,torres,pepe,carra, xabi , masher etc etc etc NONE .
every single post you make slags off kuyt - try something new
P.s. Kuyt has scored mroe goals outwide than keane scored up front this season .
