Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt has voiced his confidence in turning his season around.

Kuyt has struggled for form this campaign, scoring just three goals in 21 Premier League appearances.

The £10million signing from Feyenoord is also on a run of 12 fixtures without a goal.

But Kuyt is remaining optimistic of retuning to form, and has drawn upon Peter Crouch's goal drought when he failed to score in his first 18 matches for The Reds.

"I know Crouchie went a long time without scoring when he first came here," he said in the Daily Star.

Luck

"It turned around for him and I'm sure it will for me. Then I'll be back to my best. The only option is to get on with it.

"Sometimes you just need a little piece of luck to make a huge difference. The most important thing is to keep focused and keep believing in yourself.

"It's my job to score goals and I haven't done that on a regular basis. Now I've got to keep going and turn this situation around.

"I truly believe I'm at the right club to help me deal with this problem."
