Kuyt to start against the Hammers?

[Shaggy]

He'll start.

A classic first post! Welcome.

Just a hunch or are you Rafa Benitez?

Hello Ryan.

Hi Shaggy.

I'm hoping that Kuyt starts and scores tomorrow.

Rafa has a tendency to shatter those hopes with his selection policy though.

[Shaggy]

Oh in an ideal world he'll start and get a hat-trick, but I still reckon he'll come off the bench.

We'd better ****ing win tomorrow.

I couldn't agree more shaggy.

Whilst I want him to start and score I get the feeling that he'll be on the bench.

Hopefully he does score though!

Bench for Kuyt this weekend. Got to be Crouch and Bellamy, surely, with Robbie & Kuyt on the bench.

Agree, Rafa hinted at that in his pre-match press conference.

Not suprised, didn't expect him to start, he needs some time to get to know everyone and Crouch is on great scoring form at the moment.

He did have 4 shots in 35 minutes. He was close to scoring.
Very good debut although for half an hour.
