Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt _300[LNB]DIRK KUYT believes Liverpool's hunger to bring the Premier League trophy to Anfield will carry them back into the title fight.[LNB]The Reds are six points off the pace after losing to Chelsea before the international break and are five points worse off compared to their position after eight games last season.[LNB]It has been a fragmented start to the campaign, not helped by two international breaks, buy Kuyt feels it is important to gather a sense of perspective.[LNB]With 30 games still to be played, the Holland forward - who is due back at Melwood today following his trip to Australia - knows time is on Liverpool's side.[LNB]And he believes the situation will be very different come Christmas time, particularly if Liverpool can kick-off a hectic period with a confidence-boosting win at Sunderland this Saturday[LNB]'I was very disappointed in the beginning that we got beaten twice. After that we picked it up and we won a couple of games in a row,' said Kuyt.[LNB]'But then we had another defeat away at Stamford Bridge at Chelsea. It was a very difficult game, but I still think we could have done something more in this game.[LNB]'It is a very tough league, it is a very long season and we still have chances. We have to keep coming as a team and concentrate on our own game and winning every upcoming game.
