C'mon pal. that post was garbage
Don't take my word for it; just check the stats...If it's Ok with you I'll not bother with the stats on this one. I just look at the game and it's enough.
All about opinions though, we're all entitled to one.
There's something just so pesky about statistics! Sorry though, but where I come from, stats are often the unbiased arbiter, which opinion never seems to match...
But thats just me.
You'll have to post them or the Kuyt bashers will bury their heads in the sand and rely on no evidence other than their "own eyes" and (poor) memories
Interestingly enough the commentary on the first goal might have read :
Kuyt, plays the ball to Gerrard, a nice ball through to Aurelio who gets to the byline and crosses.......................TORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Torres scores at the near post, poor keeping by Cech who was anticipating the cross to the far post and was caught out. Excellent ball from Aurelio.
He also played the ball square for Alonso to hit a superb shot which Cech pushed over the bar. Kuyt does frustrate, sometimes poor control, other times a poor cross etc and sadly that seems to come first in people's minds over the positives so match threads can double up as Kuyt bashing threads.
The statistic I will post is one that came up on MOTD for goals this season from the side that started :
PREMIERSHIP GOALS 08/09 (Starting XI vs Chelsea 01/02/09)
Gerrard : 9
Torres : 7
KUYT : 5
Alonso : 3
Riera : 2
Mascherano : 0
Source : FPL
He's lost form quite a bit since being moved back and forth due to a certain £20.3m player and injury to Torres. But for Kuyt we would probably be where Arsenal are. He needs to pick up form, get the bashers of his back and score some more goals and work on his crossing. He's also credited with three assists, Gerrard tops that list with five - you wouldn't think Kuyt was anywhere near Gerrard in contribution the way he gets bashed every game.
Nice try sgs but the FACTS don't back you up mate.
goals 08/9 07/08 06/07
crouch 8 5 9
Kuyt 5 3 12
Assists
Crouch 4 1 6
Kuyt 4 4 4
mins played
Crouch 2012 923 1442
Kuyt 2026 2163 2489
So crouch has scored 22 goals with 11 assists in 4380mins
and Kuyt has scored 20goals with 12 assists in 6678mins.
are the FA thinking?
