KUYT: I WANT TO DO A CROUCH

Jimmy Rice 17 January 2007 Dirk Kuyt claims he is desperate to emulate strike-partner Peter Crouch when it comes to scoring spectacular goals.

The Dutchman admits he was surprised to see such a tall player net goals like the scissor kicks against Galatasaray and Bolton. And now he wants a piece of the action himself. "When you are so tall with such long legs it's unbelievable that Crouchy can score those kind of goals," Kuyt told LFC Magazine. "They were amazing and he showed the world that the first time wasn't a fluke by doing it again. I scored with a scissor kick during my time at Feyenoord and hopefully can do it here too." Kuyt, who's bagged eight goals so far this term, also revealed he is confident of becoming the 20-goal a season frontman Liverpool fans have been craving. "I think I can reach that target. For the last five seasons I've scored at least 20 goals. I know Holland is different to the Premiership but I still believe I can reach that again. "I've never been the type of player who says at the start of the season that I'll score 30 goals. My aims are always to win trophies and if you do that then it usually means you score goals along the way."
