Dirk Kuyt and Craig Bellamy did very well for Liverpool in Eindhoven last night. If I was in Rafa Benitez’ shoes, I’d probably choose Kuyt/Bellamy as my first-choice strike partnership, with Peter Crouch/Robbie Fowler in reserve.
The Crouch/Fowler axis is okay, but they have absolutely no pace between them, unlike Kuyt/Bellamy – and surely most Prem defences would list pace as the attribute they most fear in a striker?
Which pairing would you favour?
