Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt has apologized to the club's fans after their home defeat to Blackpool on Sunday. The crush has raised eyebrows as it has left Liverpool in the relegation zone.Kuyt has expressed his confidence that his team will stage a comeback. He played the full 90 minutes as Blackpool moved systematically to defeat a team that represents the most successful club in the English football history. The 2-1 victory was made possible by goals from Charlie Adam and Luke Varney.
Kuyt, who is from the Netherlands, has admitted that the defeat was one of his worst ever since he moved to Merseyside from Feyenoord in 2006. Liverpool's fortunes have seen a dip as the club has struggled to clinch victories.
"It was really, really disappointing - probably one of the hardest defeats I've had to take since I've been here and we're sorry for the fans," Kuyt said in a statement.
Although Kuyt is determined to help his team resurge from its current misfortunes, there are no chances of them playing the Merseyside derby at Everton. The wait period is expected to last until October 17. Liverpool is currently at the 18th place and the missed opportunities are not auguring well for both the fans and the players.
Kuyt has admitted that the team morale is low but he has
also expressed his resolution that the team is in high spirits. Roy Hodgson is
the current manager of Liverpool and he has been criticized
for poor handling of the team.
