Who still has faith in Kuyt?

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

I've always thought he was ****. My only mistake was calling him the dutch heskey. I'm really sorry Emile for comparing you with such a donkey!

Plagiarist.

[rage]

great minds then

[mick the click]

Morientes was better than Kuyt.

Eh?

[slimbimjim]

Cantona no matter how big a **** was an exceptional player but I found an interesting stat about Bergkamps scoring record at Arsenal, here are his goalscoring stats for the last 7 years he was at Arsenal.

Season Club Games Goals Strike rate
2005-06 Arsenal 24 2 0.08
2004-05 Arsenal 29 8 0.28
2003-04 Arsenal 28 4 0.14
2002-03 Arsenal 29 4 0.14
2001-02 Arsenal 33 9 0.27
2000-01 Arsenal 25 3 0.12
1999-00 Arsenal 28 6 0.21

People are slagging off Kuyt's lack of goal threat so thank god Bergkamp never player for Liverpool with those stats.

Yes but look at his assists chart -

2005/06 5
2004/05 13
2003/04 12
2002/03 12
2001/02 15
2000/01 4
1999/00 10

Yes which goes to prove my point about how stats can be manipulated to show what you want them to. I'm not trying to compare Bergkamp to Kuyt but highlighting how looking at a certain set of stats purely to judge a players performance can be totally misleading.

How do you rate Kuyt's performances this season then?

Forget his goals and assists of what little there are. His general play.

I certainly don't think he has been anywhere near as bad as people on here have made out, he has been very disciplined in what positions Rafa has asked him to play and has given 100% for the team whenever he has played. He isn't in great form but how many of our players are?

If you played Voronin up front instead of Kuyt do you think you would have seen a marked improvement? I don't

Agree with you re Voronin.

To me him and Kuyt are two of the same. Hard workers who lack class.

Though I would give Voronin the edge when to comes to finishing.

Bottom line is both need to be sold with better replacing them, and the sooner the better.

[kewellnthegang]

I have been saying the same for 7 years even under GH. We always seem to buy too many ****e...

Rafa has paid millions on Babel and Benayoun this sumemr for example - he could have bought Quaresma for that.

yeah and when quaresma comes and does actually look average then what happens

he is not the messiah he,s just a very naughty boy

[friedk]

I don't think Kuyt has any faith in himself at the moment.

He would benefit from a break from the side, I'm sure of that.

[Nic83]

18 have went for starting 11. There really are some non ambitious LFC fans.

Voronin is also muck but yes. Sally Gunnel up there would have seen a marked improvement.

Dos Keitas por favor Y uno Kanoute.

I know bumping old threads pointlessly is, er, illegal …but I'm intensely bored and consequently just read through this old thread about Kuyt, from about the time he was on the brink of signing. It’s pretty funny.
