& What was Xabi's stats on penos for us then?

Scored 3 out of 4, the miss being in Istanbul

[Craig_H]

I reckon Maxi would take a good peno. He's just not on the pitch often enough

Meireles too.

[Fernandinho]

I can't see it with meireles more than anyone else. maxi i could see netting one.

[Roboklopp]

[Red_Polo]

I think there's something to be said for stupid people taking penalties, based on the idea they don't bear any consideration to the consequences of a miss

Kuyt: I'm in the form of my life

Dirk Kuyt believes his recent hot-streak represents the best form of his Liverpool career so far.

The Holland international has fired eight goals in his last seven league outings and has now totalled 14 in all competitions for the Reds this season.

Another strike in tonight's clash at Fulham would see him equal his best tally in a red shirt and he admits he is full of confidence ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage.

Kuyt told Liverpoolfc.tv: "It could be my best (form) since I came to Liverpool. I scored a lot of goals in Holland and sometimes I had a good streak like that but things are much more difficult in the Premier League, so I am very happy with my form and hopefully I can keep it going in the next couple of games.

"I'm feeling really well. I am confident. In the first part of the season I had some problems with my ankle and my shoulder and that was a difficult time. But in the last couple of months I have felt very lively and the games have been going very well for us - we are winning a number of games in a row.

"Our confidence is growing and I'm enjoying it."

The Reds travel to London eager to maintain their push for a Europa League berth after Spurs failed to beat Blackpool on Saturday evening.

Kuyt feels the result has enhanced Liverpool's hopes and is delighted they are now in charge of their own destiny.

"Things are in our own hands now," he said.

"We play Spurs at home in a week's time and if we win all of our games we will qualify for Europe. So we've gone from a really bad position to a terrific one. We just have to focus on Monday's game though and look to beat Fulham.

"They are playing very well. There is not one team in the Premier League that is easy to beat. You have to earn the three points and we will be 100 per cent focused on winning the game. It's really important for us. Let's keep going, make it a great game and hopefully at the end of the 90 minutes we will have the three points.

"We have to win to get fifth in the league. Our away form hasn't been the best this season so we want to prove that we can compete on our travels. We've had great results against the big teams like City, United and away at Arsenal. Now we have to do it against Fulham."

Well, that or we need to get Pennant back.

Liverpool fans celebrated the fact that Dirk Kuyt couldn’t stop scoring at the end of the season.

Now his wife Gertrude has revealed that the *couple are expecting their fourth child. Asked last week whether she was pregnant Gertrude said: “Yes, it’s true. Our next baby is due in August.”

The Kuyts already have three children – Noelle, Roan and Jordan.

Kuyt scored six goals in Liverpool’s last nine games and prospered


The Anfield hero was back in his native Holland last week raising money for the Dirk Kuyt *Foundation, the charity he set up to help *handicapped youngsters.

He raised £166,000 at the auction. Among the prizes Kuyt donated was a private jet flight for ten people to visit Liverpool’s first home game of the new season as well as the gift of a Sky box.

Dirk Kuyt could play for Barca'

Jan Molby believes Dirk Kuyt would get into any team in the world - including Barcelona.

Pep Guardiola's men earned their status as Europe's top side with a 3-1 Champions League final triumph over Manchester United last month - and some even believe they are the best team in the history of club football.

With Xavi, David Villa, Lionel Messi, Pedro and Andres Iniesta occupying the forward positions, it's difficult to see where ANY player would fit in.

But Molby - who scored 61 goals in 292 games for Liverpool during the 1980s and early 1990s - is adamant Kuyt would be on the teamsheet.

Speaking to LFC TV, the Dane said: "As a player you look at someone and think 'Would I like to play against him?' And no, I wouldn't, because Dirk pesters and he's at you non-stop. He's running, he's working, he's closing you down.

"I think the training (under Kenny Dalglish) has really benefitted him. There are a lot more touches for individual players and Dirk's first touch has improved because of that.

"I always say this about him - and I mean it: he would walk into any team in the world. Because of the things he gives you.

"He wouldn't be their best footballer but I think he would play in Barcelona's team."

Dirk's touch improved since Dalglish came in, how simplified an assumption big Jan is stating here.

Looks like he's preparing them already. Especially little Jay on the right.
