Dirk Kuyt completed his 10million move to Liverpool and insisted he would be able to handle the pressure of life at "a really big club".

Doubts have been raised about his quality, even in the Dutch international's homeland, with one observer telling him: "Nobody in Holland knows why Liverpool want you."

But the 26-year-old showed supreme confidence sitting alongside Reds manager Rafael Benitez by saying: "I am used to being put under pressure, that is no problem for me."
