Liverpool paid £5m and it deoesn't matter how the payment was distributed amongst his former club, his agent and himself but the fact is that he cost £5m and due to that cut price, he was able to negotiate a very high wage. Factor in his wages over the time he has been with us and when you look at the big picture and compare the returns he gave us and what outlays Liverpool have to fork out, he has been a disappointment.
Only recently is he starting to try with more effort and passion. Before this, he had always looked uninterested.
I agree with peewee that Kewell loses possession way too easily, sometimes too cheaply. I was just really getting annoyed with him when he made that headed pass to Gerrard who passed to Alonso for the first goal. His workrate and effort has improved of late but he needs to work on his passes and movement. Even a much more limited player like Finnan or Riise did not give away the ball so often and so cheaply.
Desire my friend...that's what he is lacking. No matter if you have bags of skills, if your heart isn't there, you get performance like Kewell's...sad coz he should be one of our key player instead of just making the number.
