Kewell on form is a better attacking option than Risse and their performance is more than just goalscoring. Kewell is better in the air and has a better final ball, however this argument is void really. IMO Rafa doesnt have an 11 in mind in the sence that we understand it to be. I should imagine putting injuries aside and neglecting the fact that they may become the best pairing down the left side in Prem under Rafa and thus play the majority of games I would reckon Kewell would still play more games on the wing. Also whilst Kewell isnt exactly our most consistant player you cant say Risse has been great consistantly. Whilst I think he has developed as a player its only been in the last few months that this has become noticable and not just due to his goalscoring, he doesnt get beaten as much and seems to have matured and taken on extra responsibility for the team. Kewell IMO has also shown a willingness to work hard for the team and I put this down to Rafa he has lifted several players from the comfort zone.
The man who came to merseyside from Newcastle, the man who says he's part of Liverpool as much as the Liver building. When he was needed Alan Kennedy was there. And with now just 8 minutes to go it could be that Alan Kennedy has made a little history.
