Dirk Kuyt has admitted that his position move over to the right-wing has helped him score more goals for the Anfield faithful.

“I have had a difficult season and I have had to show character, I had a few problems in the early part of the season and everyone knows what it was.” admitted the Dutchman.

“I just tried to come through it and in the second half of the season I have played in a different position and I have just tried to give everything I can. It has gone well. I have given assists and I have scored some goals.

“The manager didn’t need to persuade me over the position on the right. I have played in that position for years for Holland and when I started my career at Utrecht it was there also.

“I am not an out and out right-winger, I do it in my own way and that has helped me to continue scoring goals.” he added.
