Dirk Kuyt Promises Liverpool Will Make Premier League Title Challenge


Dirk Kuyt has vowed that Liverpool's Premier League campaign will not be over by the end of September this time around.

The Anfield striker knows that for the past few seasons they have blown their title hopes with an abysmal start that has left them too far off the pace.

There are already fears that Liverpool will follow a familiar pattern as this year's race gets underway after a shocking Champions League performance in Liege on Wednesday.

Liverpool looked well short of the level required to put pressure on Manchester United and Chelsea as they struggled against the Belgian champions.

But Kuyt is adamant that even though the European performance was not good enough, it will be a different story at Sunderland tomorrow night.

"It sometimes happens you don't play your best game as a team, but we will not play like that at the Stadium of Light," insisted the Dutchman.

"The start of the season is big for us. We know how important it will be against Sunderland. We have to do better and we know we will."
