Dirk Kuyt says current Reds better than 08/09 side

Dirk Kuyt says that Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are better than the Liverpool side that Rafa Benitez assembled during his time at Anfield.

The Dutchman is an Anfield cult hero and universally loved by all Liverpool fans. His work ethic and desire to win every second ball made him an instant hit with the working class on Merseyside.

A penchant for scoring important goals also endeared the former Feyenoord man to supporters.

He has now claimed that the side Klopp has built is better than the one he was a part of in 2009.

The Dutchman told Liverpoolfc.com: “We were very close to success. We just missed a small detail to go one step further.  With the likes of Stevie and Carra, Mascherano, Torres and many other very good players, we just missed a little something.

“If you see the build-up of the team of Klopp, you see it progressing every time and it looks like it’s now coming to success also in the Premier League. We were a particular team like that, only we couldn’t go one step further at that time.

“Hopefully this team will do it because, in my opinion, this team now on the pitch is even better than ours.”
