So his enegy levels are good, OK thats fine.
However you have stated many times in this thread how important he is to the team in BIG matches, this weekend we have possibly the hardest match this season, when we play the derby, purely because of last seasons fixture.
So explain why he even played when we could have seen Babel, Keane, Riera and Torres on the same pitch to see how they integrate, after all we all KNEW, they were going to sit back and wait it out and we would need TRUE creativity.
The really awful thing is were going to have this situation in the league at home maybe 5 more times, where we need said quality, rather than for all his other admirable attributes, the limited technical and athletic skills of Dirk Kuyt.
PS: Well done for standing your ground against a tide of criticisim.
cause maybe kuyt will be playing this weekend , have yuu considered that - derby is perfect for kuyt and he may well win it for us like he helped us do last season . Torres and keane have played together a number of times and havent clicked yet , babel has been more effective as a sub and reira is on the opposite side of the picth so kuyt being there doesnt effect him . Keane and babel havent justified why they should get picked ahead of kuyt yet .

You missed my point in a derby he will need to be in tune physically and mentally and a rest may have done him good, and we didn't get much out of him on saturday.
Plus the issue about Riera is important because at some stage we will see Riera and Babel on the field at the same time and that could have been a dummy run plus Keane is used to playig with 2 wingers at club and international level, and I think Torres could benefit as well.

Not sure about that - is his price still relevant 2 years on?
I think most have got over the price and are judging him on what they see on the pitch now.
I don't tend to give that much significance to what we paid for him when I'm making my judgement, I just think whether it's good enough to be a Liverpool player.
