Liverpool boss Benitez: Kuyt not the most skillful, but invaluable
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez admits he's happy to have Dirk Kuyt available.
The Anfield boss admits his Dutch forward is hardly the most popular player in the team, nor the most skillful. But he insisted that Kuyt does have one of the biggest hearts, which beats at the centre of everything that is important to his side.
“I think everyone knows now what Kuyt can do for us. He’s not a player that is very skilful; not in the way we would normally understand of a skilful player with that kind of ability," the manager explained.
"But he has quality and is fantastic in every game, working really hard for the team. He can do so many different jobs, and sacrifices everything for his team-mates.
"Against Everton, we knew that Baines has been having a very good season so Kuyt made sure he worked hard keeping him busy. Attacking has sometimes been a problem for him but he is scoring more goals now. His teammates know he is a very good player, as do the fans."
