Dirk Kuyt - player of the year?

[Shaggy]

I bet your a barrel of laughs to sit next to in the stands

*you're*

[Redspin]

funny thing is for someone who really has very little talent he is amazingly effective. I dont know what his stats are but they cant be bad for a striker playing on the right.

How many assists and goals this season ?

Joint second-highest league scorer with Gerrard on 9, but has just one penalty to Gerrard's two. He also scored one goal in the CL and one goal in the Europa League, for a combined total of 11

Only three assists this season so far, but last season, not only did he score as many league goals as Fatboy Rooney - 12 - he was credited with nine assists, two more than wonderboy

Not bad for a player seemingly so reviled by one or two pathetic specimens

Kuyt!!!!

****ing hell, this just compounds the fact that this is possibly the worst season we've had since Souness, possibly worse.

"so far"

3 assists for our winger all season, what a ****ing joke.

Kuyt!!!!

We have more points than we got in our last season with Houllier (and our first season with Rafa) and more points already than we ever managed with Souness with more teams in the league (and there have been seasons when 68 points has got runners up spot.

Idiotic comment.

The fact that you are using this to attack Kuyt shows how pathetic you are.

[SimonNo7]

where does it say he was player of the year???

he won carlsberg 'Man of the year' from what i see which is fair enough.

It's like that **** player in your sunday league team who turns up every week and at the end of the season wins "clubman of the year"

I've got one of them ...









...oh, right, the bit underlined

It has been a poor season though.

Not just our position, but the way we have been playing, especially after last season, when we were knocking four past every decent team in the league.

Kuyt had a great season last year, but has been poor this year. Same for everyone really. Mascherano had a really good second half to the season. Torres was great when he played (actually, thinking about it he was quite poor a lot of the time, but a poor Torres can still get a goal average that any other player would weep for).

To say Reina is our best player (a sentiment I think I agree with) tells us just how poor we have been out on the pitch. And I think it could be a bigger loss to lose Reina than say Gerrard or Torres, who are either getting on, or injury prone. I get the feeling that Reina is probably a big personality in the dressing room too. I can see him being a future vice captain, if we can convince him to stay.

Reina by a country mile.

Nevermind vice captain, future captain. If comments that are attributed to him are true, he really understands Liverpool Football Club and will become a legend in his own right. Pepe

Granted, although I am not a big fan of keepers being captain, as they cant really do a captains job from that position.

Oh great. Last season counts does it! Yippee we're runners up then and not really seventh. This pathetic specimen's off to get pissed. Cheers, mate. What the mancs say is true after all. We do live in the past.

[Mike]

Definitely Pepe, people have always said he would get recognised more if he had more saves to make, kind of like Foster when at Watford - everyone has seen this season more than any other that Pepe is pure quality.

[MrMichael]

That is undoubtedly Pepe Reina, and I'm sure the official fans award will reflect that.

Reina by a country mile.

Reina. Kuyt has been ****e most of the season.

has to be pepe.

+1

No doubt whatsoever.

agree with ya: Pepe Reina

Personally Reina's who I'd vote for too..... but this general consensus is somewhat at odds with Morse's MOTM votes, which have Mascher absolutely running away with it. Interesting, not sure why that is.

[Fernandinho]

could be to do with the fact that kuyt is the face of Carlsbergs recent advertisement campaign. im not sure if thats the case all over the world but he was in the tv ads in australia, was he the face of any ads in england? i guess he could well have been the face of the asian ads if he was the face of the aussie ads... maybe he got the award because its good PR to have the face of their beer being the player of the year or whatever it was

Because on single match based performances keepers always get screwed unless they make a string of wonder saves. Mascherano has been one of the few players who (at least post January) has obviously been doing their job to the expected standard and because his role doesn't depend much on anyone else to make him look good he will do well in these things when we are struggling as a team.
