Dirk Kuyt

[Dan]

So if the next game is Utd you'd start with that attack force?

No, Id try Torres and Babel out in a few lesser games

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

Torres & Crouch.

[The Glove]

But doesnt that then fly in the face of picking your best 11 in evey game?

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Our strike force isnt good enough to win the league. Torres is the only world class striker we have and that could get us 20 plus goals.

We got to hope the rest of the players pitch in with a few goals

[Joe King]

Yep, we need another striker who is able to get 15 goals in the league

[Morph]

I'd just go 4-3-3 since our wingers are doing **** all

Mascherano--Sissoko
--------Gerrard--------
Voronin--Torres--Babel

Could maybe switch in Leiva if we were adventurous

or we could go 5-3-2, with Arbeloa/Finnan and Aurelio as wing backs, but we know neither are going to happen

[Fiddy]

I'm gradually coming round to your point of view on Kuyt, Niall. Mainly because I'm just severely bored of him playing pretty much every game and never scoring, or even looking like a threat to the opposing goal

[tomasjj]

Torres & Crouch.

[Nic83]

I recall agreeing with you on quite a few occasions but here I will disagree my friend. Torres and Crouch would be the most effective partnership for us by a country mile.

[El Jefecito]

If Utd were next up on the fixture list who would everyone pick as the front 2?

99% would say Torres and Kuyt.

You are right, for a change

On the whole.

problem is it wont happen will it. its so easy to get dragged into this (especally as we are still unbeaten) but benitez is too stubborn and will keep playing kuyt, and keep up with this rotation bollox. He surely has to allow strikers to have at least small groups of games - rather than single games - to create confidence and understandings with players aound them. The overall picture is
1. that for now, it doesnt matter who plays with him - torres should start every game, rest him when we go in front or when there are obvious signs of him fading or going stale.
2. there are bags of better strikers than kuyt, crouch and vorinin out there
3. united will keep winning the league till we buy at least another one of them and stop ****ing around with rotation.

I'll admit I like Kuyt, Ive got a lot of time for anyone who puts in that much effort but he is starting to fall short. He gets a lot of chances on goal but the header wil go over or the shot will go wide. Im not sure a spell on the bench will do good for him. We persisted with Crouch for months on end and then he was flying. Maybe Rafa is doing the same with Dirk right now. Trying to get his strikers all into some kind of form. Torres is up and running, Quo is getting trying to get there same as Kuyt. Crouch will be in next to see if he can improve as so far he has been the worst of the bunch.

Torres with Lucas in the Kuyt position. Lucas is our most creative player(not that difficult being that ) and our most creative player should play behind Torres.

Did you see the Brum game?

Our wingers we're the only ones that did anything
