Kuyt was no worse nor better than he normally is tonight. Leighton Baines wasn't exactly put through the ringer, but to bee fair neither was Hibbert at right full-back either. I don't mean this in an awful sense, but anybody expecting Dirk to be creative is setting themselves up for disappointment. He did what he always does, and aside form one missed through ball I really can't see why he was any worse than normal. He also provided the one laugh of the night when he bundled Riera over.
His performances up front are hardly his fault, he just did what he normally does. At least tonight he wasn't the worst front player on view.
