I cannot ask more to Kuyt, I asked not to replace Torres' full potential but to do a premiership display, and he fulfilled the task better than well.

You always feel a bit happier for him than for others because of his tough work and because he's been our scapegoat often.

if you look back at the games he is unlucky not to have scored more, he seems to have the knack of being in the rite place at the rite time,

i feel with the width we have now if he was left up top he would score a bag full of goals, be interesting to see him mid week were i think we will score again

The good thing about Riera on one flank and Kuyt down the other is both pose a goalscoring threat, something Pennant often doesn't. I don't know why people get on Kuyt's back so much, he'd scored three goals before Saturday and was third in our goalscoring - not bad for someone not playing up front. We need goals, he provides some if not a prolific amount from wide and has a knack of popping up for late goals/winners. Add to that his workrate and it beggars belief he gets stick for games where he's not that effective, something a lot of players often get away unnoticed with

As for JTW's comments about Kuyt - "he looked like a striker". Well when Torres plays he looks like a striker, when he's sat in the stands he looks like a spectator - funny that.

Bit of a snidey comment that! I explained that comment in the following sentences.

What I mean is, often we've seen Kuyt get a yard of space in a shooting position and it looks like his first instinct is to find a teammate with a pass, when everyone else is imploring him to hit it.

On Saturday in those positions, his first instinct seemed to be to hit it (like a striker would normally do), to excellent effect.

That help?

like i said well done kuyt, now all we need is peewee to say well done, then the thread can come to an amicable close

Maybe thats down to a lack of confidence from himself after going through his poor run when his dad died as opposed to a lack of talent etc. A lot of times when he has passed to a teammate a goal has occured so its not a bad thing. but it is good to see him have a crack . Im guessing he cant win as he can have a go himself and then people will say why didnt he pass and he can pass and people will say why didnt he have a crack . i guess it all comes down to split second choices and most of the time he seems to get it right - especially lately . hope he keeps it up .

He still has an unnering accuarcy to aim right at the keeper though.
But am very happy for him, 5 this season is it now ? Goals galore

It is quite funny his best strike was the one against the bar ,but didnt produce a goal, great strike .
