I know he's gotten old and his career here is over, but I miss him. Worked his socks off and came with clutch goals when they counted. We could have used a player like him to come on after Suarez's goal to up the pressure and snatch the 3 points.

Had to justify buying Henderson didn't he. I miss him and I think his experience and few goals from the bench would've helped. Same with Maxi.

Borini is the new Kuyt, Just younger version with potential atm but cant fault his workrate / ethic

We could have used a player like him to come on after Suarez's goal to up the pressure and snatch the 3 points. He is a nice memory, and I'll always remember him fondly, but he could not play this system. We are slow going forward at the best of times, and that is a massive issue for us and one of the reasons we don't create enough. He would make that worse. Having said that, I really wouldn't say no to any half decent striker as back up right now.

Not his last couple of seasons, he was always slow, but was getting a bit too slow with age

Having said that, I really wouldn't say no to any half decent striker as back up right now. I disagree about the system, actually. Kuyt grew up in the Ajax system and knows how this sort of philosophy works. His movement (albiet slow movement) is very intelligent and his understanding with Sarez was brilliant from day 1. I don't think he would be any slower going forward than the rest of us, and he certainly knew how to get in the box and pick up loose change, which now one on this team seems to understand how to do. I'm not clamoring for him back, I get it, he's too old and too slow. But I miss him. Carried us two years ago when Stevie was hurt and Torres was either hurt, crap, or leaving.

Yes I miss him and thought he was wasted last season and if given the chance would probably have performed ok but Henderson's price needed to be justified and I think that's why he wasn't used as often.
Would have been great to have around as a sub this season and added some exerience and depth to the squad.
Essentially Borini has taken his place and needs time to adjust and also now, time to recover and get back into the way at LFC.
