Strike partnership with Torres can be fruitful says Liverpool's Kuyt

Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt believes more chances up front with Fernando Torres can build to something beautiful for the Merseysiders.

The Dutch international was given a start alongside Torres in the Europa League clash with FC Utrecht on Thursday night and although the match ended 0-0, Kuyt was happy with the way he and the Spaniard linked up.

"Tonight we created a good chance together," he said.

"Against Sunderland and West Brom it worked well, so I think we can play well together but tonight wasn't the best game for us or the team.

"It's just a matter of time for Fernando. I said that after the Sunderland game when people were talking about him not scoring, but he still provided two assists.

"Tonight he missed a chance, but he is human and can miss chances like everyone else. I'm sure his goals will come."
