Pool’s fab four are just brothers in arms

LIVERPOOL’S ‘gang of four’ strikers are in a fierce battle for first-team recognition – but they are really just brothers in arms according to Dirk Kuyt.

The 27-year-old Dutchman scored twice against Toulouse in Tuesday night’s Champions League qualifier at Anfield, also creating Peter Crouch’s opening goal, but he still has no idea whether he will be in the side on Saturday in the Barclays Premier League against Derby.

Manager Rafael Benitez has already used four different strike partnerships this season in just five games, and wants that level of rivalry to create competition for a place in the side.
