PRAISE FROM ON HIGH FOR THE DIRK
Benitez gave some high praise to Dirk Kuyt today after the Dutchman scored a brace to sink Reading.
We correctly predicted 2-0 with Kuyt scoring the first yesterday (smug smug) which added a few quid to our Michael Shields fund, but Rafa had even more reason than us to praise Kuyt.
The reds have been stuttering in front of goal, but in Kuyt it looks like Rafa has finally landed a natural born finisher, the like we haven't seen since Owen pulled a fast one on us.
Rafa had this to say:
"I have followed Dirk's career for a long time and he is a very consistent player and you could say the complete striker," enthused Benitez.
"He is a good worker, he scores goals, causes defenders a lot of problems and he can bring other players into the game. His understanding with Peter Crouch was really good.
"I was really pleased to get the three points and the second goal was very important for us because Reading caused us some problems with long throw-ins.
"I expected them to play with five defenders and it was difficult at times to find the space to play but once we got the second goal it settled us down more and we created more chances."
