where have all the Kuyt bashers gone?
Oh I'm still around, although I was never a "basher", more of a realist. When he played up front he was absolutely terrible, shocking, awful and I never did try and pretend otherwise like some did. Now he's on the right he does a decent job, although he isn't the best right mifielder in the Premiership as some claim.
His European record in comparison to Rush means nothing. Rush was quadruple the player Kuyt is in every single regard possible (even in running around a lot) and Rush played in the European Cup. In that tournament, you didn't play so many matches and you only played against real champions. In fairness to Kuyt, if the rules were still the same he'd never have even played in it.
