He was booed when he came off injured. Why would anyone do that unless they thought it?
I think Kewell just was such a tremendous disappointment. We wanted him to be great, and after a good half season, he was shite. Not fair on him, because it wasn't a matter of him not trying, or feigning injury, it was just so fucking frustrating. I wouldn't have booed him, but I can understand why a smattering of knobheads did.
I didn't realise that was the collective. Almost as a good as a 'Murder'
Where’s his wheelie bin ?
And two years later, when we were 1-0 down in Athens, the crowd was calling for him to come off the bench … fickle? Nah
I think it didn't help him that he was signed by Houllier when he was in his 'mad' phase, when he seemed hyper-paranoid and often wilfully contrary in terms of tactics. Instead of playing Kewell on the left, where he had performed well enough to attract us in the first place, Ged insisted on playing him on the right, where defenders knew he was much more predictable, and his runs would have to be checked so that he could cut inside and shift the ball to his left foot. We signed him because we lacked pace and width, and then we played him where he'd not solve those problems.
I think Kewell read this thread.
He just told Football Focus that managing a team is ten times better than scoring a goal. Lol.

It has disappeared in the mists of time in my head but If I remember rightly his last season at Leeds had also been marked with injury, very similar to our sale of Torres to Chelsea, when you have a pace merchant and they have a muscle snap on them or an ankle injury they are very rarely the same afterward...
A young pre-Liverpool Harry Kewell was a hell of a player...
Liverpool Kewell was a total sick note and never seemingly got up to fitness and form.
He seemed to play a number of nice through balls too, so lets hope he is becoming more generally influential. Worst case scenario, the guy is going to bring some money in if we don't think he's going to cut it. With Lallana's powers on the wane, I wonder whether there might be a role for him in that AM berth next season.
The way Kewell came on and held up the ball during those 6 minutes of injury time against Chelsea in the Champions League semi will always be remembered by me with fondness.
Definitely hope for this. I think it's likely that Lallana will find himself on the outside looking in for next season and Wilson should have every opportunity to claim that spot. Whether he will make it long term I dont know, but he should be able to be as influential as the current version of Lallana.
Yeah, that was actually a part of his game that helped us on many occasions late in games. He was very good with the ‘keep the ball, draw 3 defenders, flick the ball, get throw-in, rinse and repeat’ thing.
I've always found those long term bets odd. Heskey and Chris Kirkland's parents had similar stories of being paid out due to their respective sons playing for England.
I presume the bookies are happy to pay out for the publicity. It'll lead to loads of other parents losing money betting on their kids to get an international cap.
He signed a new one before he left on loan I think mate.
We got 15mil for Jordon Ibe. Sure we can get something like that at least
Wilson is equally home grown though
