Thingy wrote:Kharhaz mate I think the same as ive said. His attitude is admireable, he loves the club and the fans. Its just as a footballer for me, he just isnt good enough.

Thingy wrote:I really dont get all this praise for Kuyt. Yes he works hard. What else? Alonso and Gerrard, 2 of our worser performers last night, ran and worked harder than he did, fact. Why arent they gettin the credit Kuyt is? Really if anyone thinks hes good enough for us then I really dont agree. Were not exactly setting our standards high are we? I admire his attitude, thats it. Hes really slow, cant pass well, dosent create or score enough, his first touch is shocking. I know alot of you respect him for how hard he works and I do too, im just saying its way over the top. Everytime I see him with the ball i cringe. Hes a shocking footballer. People will say im goin over the top and all that but imo its true. We need better players than him if were gunna win the league.



Plus hes not exactly the nicest looking man alive

Worst post i have ever read

Credit is to be given where its due , he has been excellent ever since moving to the wing and the amount of criticism he has had to deal with is just bull sh!t


And i'm sure you don't look like brad pitt so don't give fecking comments abt how other people look , take a long ahrd look in the mirror

Well, heres why I like him. He works hard, every match. He is no Torres, no gerrard, hes more akin to carragher. He works for his money. His attitude is, them people in the stands have paid to see us play, time to repay them.

Thats on the pitch.

Off the pitch. He gets his wages and gives his sponsorship money, his bonuses, whatever extras to charity.

He is no big time charlie. He is no player picked because he can cross a ball (beckham) he is no player that scores goals (lampard) he is no player that makes things happen with a click of a thumb (gerrard). He is simply a player that works hard constantly to ensure the team does well. He is picked because constantly, even when the team havent performed, you can bet that kuyt has worked hard for his wage.

Thats why I like him.

god_bless_john_houlding wrote:Just going back to saint's point about Kuyt being more a Jimmy Case, I often compare Kuyt to Sammy Lee. Case was a fella who would break your legs if you said hello (on the pitch). I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and off the pitch he's nice as pie, but I wouldn't say Kuyt is that kind of player. Case was a fantastic player, who could cross, pass, tackle and get the odd goal with that rocket of a shot he had.

Whereas Kuyt and Sammy are both players with limited ability in all honesty who'd run for a million years in cause of this club. Sammy Lee's job at Liverpool was to simply mark out the opponent's best player. His best performance of this was the 84 european cup final where he marked falco out of the game. I think Kuyt could do the same...for example if we're playing United, you tell Kuyt "wherever Ronaldo is, you be there as well. Don't give him a moments peace." Because with all honesty, Kuyt doesn't have the ability to create, so he needs to learn to play a simple pass and let someone who can cross a ball create the chances.
