Given the paucity of invention, the total lack of spark in our attacking play I was just dreaming of how fantastic it would be if we could ever get the Australian to consistenty do the business for us.
That's the thing with Harry, he peeves you off then disappears from the scene for so long that you forget why you disliked him in the first place. It's like one of them blokes that you really like borrows twenty sovs off you in the boozer and isn't seen again for months. When you actually bump into him you don't really care about the twenty quid anymore, your just glad he's back on the scene.
I sort of don't really care about what he did in Istanbul anymore, after all we won anyway. I can forget his puppy fat face and casual indifference as yet another game drifts by without him causing so much of a ripple to disturb its gentle meander. I can forgive his ridiculous high court lible case, where he came out second best to the crisp munching big-eared fella.
Why can I forget and forgive all this? Because when, and I know it's not often, the guy decides to play then he is capable of moments of sublime quality. He can change a game in an instant, stand it on its head with a flash of invention. He tells us that he has been injured for the best part of his whole Liverpool career. We've never seen the real Harry Kewell he tells us. Well Harry, if not a nation, then a football club turns its lonely eyes to you. Maybe it's the season of forgiveness, of players rising like the pheonix from the write-off bin. If we can forgive Micky O (and we can ), then we can forgive Harry K. Get well soon son.

Harry really winds me up, cos we all know how good he is but he doesn't show us how good he is, the issue I have is that the lad only ever has average games, I can't think of any games were he's been outstanding and he's been here now for 2 years!!!

I hope he comes back soon and proves us all wrong.

I know what bigmick is saying and as for kewell not having outstanding games, he was brilliant in the anfield leg against olympiacos and really got us going. When kewell s fit he does perform therefore being no question about his ability but unfortunately he spends too much time in the physoroom.

I was at that game and I can't recall Kewell being 'outstanding'

do you expect kewell or any player for that matter to have a 'good' game each week or an 'outstanding' one? I think your expectatations must be too high if you didnt think that kewell had a very good game against olympiacos and weren't happy with that performance. If your expecting any of our players to have an outstanding game most of the time or a lot better than kewell played in that much, then you'll be waiting a very long time for those type of performances apart from one from gerrard possibly.

can he play in the right midfield/wing?

by **stoney** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 12:42 pm

kewell is a left winger but he has played on the right before

I'm not talking about every week but the lad has been here for 2 years now and has had enough chance to shine which he hasn't done and thats why the fans are frustrated!

The fans are frustrated because Kewell is picking up his 60k wages without kicking a ball and then it even pisses you off even more when you see him making silly appearances on MTVs Footballers cribs when hes meant to be playing for us.

.............. and the fact that he isn't producing the good for his £60k a week!

I like Kewell tbh, i think he could still be good for Liverpool, if only he can get over his injury probs

by **LFC #1** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 4:10 pm

I was just thinking about how great it would be to have the Harry Kewell of his last 2 seasons at Leeds on our left wing. Sadly, IMO, that player no longer exists, he is a shadow of the once so talented player he was. Constant injuries and apparent lack of interest have completely derailed his career at Liverpool, and as much as I'd like to see him get back to his best, I can't see it happening. He's one of those guys who had so much talent, and fell away at a big club (thus far anyway).

If Harry could hit top form again, we have a hell of a player on our hands, but it's been 2 years plus since we have seen it, and unfortunately with all his injuries and various other issues, I think Kewell may fade into obscurity.

by **A.B.** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 4:12 pm

Kewell will never regain the form he had at Leeds, not with the mentality and attitude he has at the moment.

by **wrighty (not mark!)** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 4:27 pm

The problem with kewell at Lpool is the fact that he's always moaning about decisions instead of getting on with the game. He really does infuriate me as we know wat he can do. However, it would be stupid to get rid of him as his price would have plummeted (even tho we did get him for 5 mill)

by **Paul C** » Mon Aug 22, 2005 4:30 pm

We could save £60k a week though, I think Kewell has to prove himself in the next 12 months cos Rafa is running out of patience and won't take any prisoners.
