Liverpool Fc @ Anfield - Reds Supporters Gatherings

It is my profound belief that as soon as he gets anywhere near fit, Kewell will very quickly display the best form he has ever shown in his Liverpool shirt. There will be no dawdling around on the left-wing looking disinterested, he'll be fired up like we've never seen before

Fantastic news...!!! Cant wait to see him back... wished he could come back sooner...

A straight impact on the team would be great... Missing him big time on the left... He is technically gifted, he has good dribbling, he has almost everything to be a succesful player... What I dun like of him is his decisions, I have often seen him doing a last min dribbling instead of a cross, or trying to beat a man that is well covered when he should have passed back...

Going to be a bit cynical here, i like Kewell, always have... Have to agree with bro ah_gogo... Nobody needs convincing how good Kewell is on his day. I just hope he can get up a decent level of fitness... It will be a great boost for us...

haha... yes bro... i reckon he will be back at top fitness just in time to put Gary Evil into the stands in Athens...

and to be thinking of the finals is really exciting... Hopefully we can make it all the way... let it be a night of familiar scorelines with Barcelona. I am so not humble

Yes, that's true ... but I guess Rafa was just trying his darnednest to get back those money poured down the drain - in fact, in that light, shouldn't the manager of Lyon be obliged to buy him over at that price??
From another angle, Marseille also trying their luck ... they already know Cisse belong to the scrap pile in Rafa's books, plus now that they know "endless" American money is backing Rafa up, 8m can be a simple write-off ... that's why I think that 40m kitty is not gonna be a lot, unless Rafa remain shrewdly ruthless in his subsequent dealings.

Don't know who came out with that figure of 40m which was never mentioned or confirmed by Gillett or Hicks & Rafa always plays his card close to his chest. To get top class players, sometimes it's not about spending big but spending wise,classic example is the Scums on Ronaldo & Veron.If our Arbeloa's recent performance is anything to go by,he is a steal at around 2m.
It seems that all the French players find it hard to prosper or progress under Rafa, I miss Pongolle who is passionate & used to make immediate impacts when he got the rare chance to play.

For that, you have a certain Mr Houllier to blame ... Pongolle & Le Tallac (another pair of cousins apparently, though one black & one white) were once the greatest French prospects at age-group level but after getting them in, he just did not have the thing in him to nurture them to greater heights ... his only way of that was to loan them out to the cellar teams in the French league, even when they did well there, they couldn't take the hustle & bustle of the English game. On the contrary, Rafa more than welcome his young second-stringers to go out on loan ... but to the Championship sides, where life is almost without flair but just hustle & bustle.

[Exciter101]

Frankly speaking, l already lose faith in Kewell.
He is not the player we see at Leeds anymore.
With the 40M kitty, Rafa should be able to get some decent players.
He is quite shrewd....

As a person though, and as a Pool supporter, he wasn't very good, and left us in a lurch to join a bigger team for bigger bucks. But that's a separate matter.

Sorry if my posting caused any unhappiness. I admit I was sour over the way he move to real.

But I agreed he do scores lots of goals for Liverpool and we do miss him after his move. He is basically a very good striker, and if he is fit, I certainly dun wish to play against him, give him half a chance and he probably will put the ball in the net.

And its pity his time at real was not successful, the coach pick the players he feel are better, but most of them are not in form and whenever owen plays, I believe he did make good enough imporession.

I certainly wish Owen the best and hope he recover from his bad injuries and have a nice career, just hope he dun score against Liverpool though haha...

I do feel Ponogolle was good, but it just seem Rafa do not like him, or not very happy with his contribution though, as for LeTallac, did remember he make a pass to Garcia for that goal against Juve in that CL match??? hopefully I got it right haha..Le Tallac did play in Sunderland team that was relegrated from EPL.

Both of them was hot prospects, and was performing so well in the age-group games for France, with Ponogolle among the top scorer right?

In fact, most of Houllier import is either gone, or on loan somewhere.....

No need to apologise bro, but as I said, we should move on.

And if his previous form is anything to go by, Mickey is sure to score against us someday

[wolfclan]

bro rahl,
I do agreed with you, with the form Owen have shown before his unlucky injuries, he will certainly score against any team.

thanks and cheers, hope for a good result this weekend against man c.

[LSB_Fan]

On Pongolle, the problem would always be his small frame. Its not easy to ride the rough tackling players of the english game. Look at Owen. He suffered and never really recovered. He has bulked up a bit, but i think he is still not suitable for the english game. He seems settled in Spain and if he were to return to England, would not be a happy camper. Better to see how to make his move permanent and close another chapter on Houllier.

On Owen, his threat is already too well know. All it takes is another mistimed tackle and he is injured again. I fear he will not play for very many matches before he KOs again.

But, his speed is really something to be impressed with. But not his face. I think he is the only Liverpool player whom I can't really stand the face of. He is always complaining on the field about his fellow colleagues and always give that "du-lan" look. See already damn buay tahan.

Basically, he has a kinda attitude problem and may create havoc in the dressing room.

Between God and Owen, I will choose God anytime. Owen is too predictable and too one-dimensional. When he left Anfield, I was more shocked and sad. I think his departure is one of the best things that have happened to Liverpools. But that is just my humble opinion.

Well said. Only Liverpool matters !!!!

Plz let Cisse go...he is a bigger whiner then Heskey.....he may have the speed but his shooting makes one wonder whether he is more suited for playing rugby or football....balls always go sky high...

Speed only when he feels like chasing for the ball. I find his work rate pretty deplorable, expects to be fed most of the time, and his placement is horrendous sometimes. I would prefer to see him off, preferably not in EPL, as it may come back to haunt us, like what Anelka attemepted to do.
