Liverpool<\/a> forward Dirk Kuyt<\/a> is refusing to give up on securing a Europa League place for the club after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Anfield to Tottenham<\/a> gave the Londoners the edge.<\/p>\n

Goals from Rafael van der Vaart and Luka Modric ensured that if Spurs beat Birminghan City at White Hart Lane on Sunday then it shall be Harry Redknapp’s side competing in the Europa League next season.<\/p>\n

However, if they fail to take three points against Alex McLeish’s relegation threatened side, then a victory at Villa Park for Liverpool will mean it is Kenny Dalglish’s team playing in Europe next season.<\/p>\n

“Obviously the result was very disappointing,” Kuyt told the club’s official website.<\/p>\n

“We all hoped for a good result and a win, but it didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

“There’s still one game to go and hopefully they Spurs will draw next week and we win and get into Europe next season.<\/p>\n

“It’s disappointing. We gave everything but it wasn’t as good as the last couple of weeks.”<\/p>\n
