Is this the start of the players' grumblings against Daglish? Personally I think he was right to leave Kuyt on the bench-a trier alright but fairly limited. A decent squad player to have but not somebody you would want starting every week if you are chasing League Cup glory.

His days are done, great servant, I suppose he is as unhappy as surely Valencia was not playing at City!

Big time although Valencia is a quality player who should be in the starting 11 whereas Kuyt is more of a squad player these days and has no right to expect a starting place. Valencia on the bench was a surprising and alarming act of cowardice from Fergie and one that ultimately cost United the title. In fairness to Kuyt, anyone on the Liverpool bench this year would have been fairly frustrated at not getting a game ahead of the likes of Henderson and Downing. I read on F365 last night that Downing finished the season with 0 goals and 0 assists in the league. They are actually astounding stats for a winger-36 games, 72 shots on goal, 0 goals and 0 assists. That has to be some sort of record and one that will never be broken I'd say.Whatever you think about the little diving fcuker Ashley Young, he has 6 goals and 7 assists from 25 games and yet some Liverpool fans will still try to tell you that Liverpool got the better deal. Downing is quite possibly a bigger waste of money than Andy Carroll who at least seems to be trying of late.

I can only ever see Rutger Hauer (the Hitcher) when I see him.Like him as a player though, must be a nightmare to mark because of his running and has got a lot of late goals in games because of this. Rumoured to be the dream pro in how he looks after himself off the pitch.Tone

kuyt has been one of my fav players in last few years but i do think he has lost form and some of his misses this season have been horrendous. He peaked in 08-09 season. 12 lge goals n something like 13/14 assists. great foil for torres n gerrard at times.time to move on but wish him all the best. downing has been appalling this season, easily the worst of the buys imo. offers f all.
