Kuyt enjoying scoring run
Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt believes he is in his best form since moving to England almost five years ago.
The Holland international struck his eighth goal in the last seven matches in Sunday's 3-0 win over Newcastle, becoming only the seventh Reds player to score in four successive Premier League games.
Two of those may have been from the penalty spot but a look at his wider record - he has 12 goals in his last 13 games in all competitions, including two internationals - backs up the player's belief that he has rediscovered the form which persuaded then manager Rafael Benitez to pay Feyenoord £10million back in the summer of 2006.
"The last time I had a run like this must have been in Holland, where I scored quite a few," said the hard-working Dutchman who, despite turning 31 this July, was given a new contract at Anfield last month in recognition of his efforts.
"At the moment things are going well, I have scored in the last four games now, which is nice to do. My confidence is high, but that is also to do with the management and my team-mates.
"I think the confidence of every player is high at the moment, because everyone is doing well. It is the same for me, I am feeling much better than I did at the beginning of the season, and I am enjoying playing football again."
