Is it me or is Kuyt the Liverpool equivalent of our own Richard Cresswell.
He never scores, never gives any assists, runs around all game like a headless chicken but is the manager's favourite week after week!!!

He does set up a number of goals though, on sky it flashed up that stat that he has scored 5 goals and got 6 assists I think.
But it is a good comparison. Rafa seems to like the hard working players like TP...

Do you want to check those stats about goals and assists though? He's got 10 this season and 7 assists. He's scored some very important goals and his work rate and hustling style have been very important to Liverpool. |

Perfect comparison matey.
Having said that, just like Cresswell, a lot either don't or choose not to see what he provides for others in his tireless energy whether it's making it harder for oppositions to build an attack or running defenders out of the way to create room for his team mates.

His style of play is very similar, if only Cresswell could get some return if any!!!!
I've heard that 75% of stats are made up anyway!!!
PS Rob are you related to Jurgen!!!!

He's much tougher than Cresswell in his play.

The difference is that Kuyt's style of play, goals and assists are very important to Liverpool, whereas Cressy, as hard as he works and as well as he did yesterday, doesn't offer nearly as much to our team as Kuyt does to his.

Yes - and Juventus want to sign him for £15million plus - They should just look at the Brit, they can get a bargain - they can have him for £15 quid.

You're wasting your time Rob - Dirk Kuyt is no better than Cresswell. The bloke has played virtually every game for Liverpool and they are 2nd, two points off top. Mind you Benitez is shite - he would DEFINITELY not done a good job at Stoke.  |

Kuyt has offered more to Liverpool than players who cost more or equivalent to him in the same position at Liverpool (Benayoun, Pennant and Babel to name just three). Cresswell doesn't offer more to us, in my opinion, than other options in his position (Lawrence, Etherington, Delap,arguably even Soares/Tonge/Pugh) |
