Kuyt missed a couple of sitters against Blackburn yesterday which meant the Reds were held 0-0 at Ewood Park but after the game Rafa Benitez was quick to defend the striker.

"He is a fantastic worker and he gives a lot to this team. At least he's getting in the positions to score," said the Liverpool boss.
