Dirk Kuyt feels he is being forced out of Liverpool

Dirk Kuyt believes that Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is trying to force him out of the club.

The Dutchman recently turned down a move back to his former club Feyenoord, stating that he is not prepared to take an 80% wage cut.

Kuyt thinks that he still has what it takes to succeed at Anfield and is determined to prove his worth to the club.

"Under this manager I don't have the feeling anymore that he will put me in the side every week," the 31-year-old told The Sun. "I'm under no illusion about playing every week, but I believe I am still good enough to play for Liverpool every week.

"Last season I was scoring goals all over the place, but this season the manager bought three players who all played in my position. In the rotation system he used, I never found my rhythm again and never felt my old self.

"Deep in my heart I'd love to stay at Liverpool so I could have full revenge on everyone in my final season at the club."

Kuyt arrived on Merseyside in 2006.
