Dirk Kuyt determined to fight for starting eleven place at Liverpool – EPL News
Liverpool attacker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 has hailed the intense competition for starting eleven places in the Reds squad this season. However, the Dutchman is fully determined to earn his place in Dalglish’s first team after being snubbed in the last few fixtures.
The Merseyside club have heavily invested in the last two transfer windows to bring some high quality players. The likes of Andy Carroll, Charlie Adam, Luis Suarez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stewart-Downing-c34221 have all been acquired by Dalglish.
Kuyt has been ever present in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258. The 31-year-old was a vital member of Dalglish’s side which finished sixth last season.
The Dutchman, who was Liverpool’s top goalscorer last season, has seen very limited first team action this season due to high competition for places. Kuyt has only started three league matches for the Merseyside club.
The 31-year-old scored and played the whole 90 minutes in the win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brighton-c38685 and Hove Albion. Despite giving a decent performance in a Carling Cup match, the Dutchman was demoted to the bench for the recent Premier League outing against Wolverhampton
Wanderers.
The Reds striker has revealed his disappointment over lack of first team action. However, Kuyt has claimed that he is determined to give his best in order to fight for a starting eleven berth.
Kuyt told the reporters, "I'm disappointed to be out of the team. But it also makes me very determined too. I need to continue to prove myself, train as hard as possible and, when I do play, make sure my performance is of a high standard."
The former Feyenoord attacker hailed Liverpool’s new signings and has insisted that intense competition for starting eleven places will hugely benefit the club.
“Competition is tough now but it's brilliant for the club that there are so many players to choose from now, top-class international players. The players realise at the end of the day you need more than 11 good players to be successful,” the 31-year-old
concluded.
Dirk Kuyt has scored one goal in six matches in all competitions this season.
