Kewell will never be in Leeds form again, even when people were conviced he had recovered that form i never thought he had. He is lazy and his best years are behind him IMHO.

Sounds like you

Not likely Anthony.

Kewell did well when he came on today. Set up Alonzo's goal, and was very unlucky with a shot that hit the bar shortly after. It will be interesting to see if he starts in Athens.

Funny picture of him and Crouch here from the official site (reminds me a bit of George Kennedy and the guy who played "Al" in the Naked Gun!):

took fowler of 2 minutes too early...

[Stalin]

unlucky for robbie indeed. kewell looked in good form and lean when he came on, deserves a chance in athens or that shot that hit the bar alone! 

padelli looks absolutely duff

Im sure Rafa just wanted Robbie to have the standing ovation that he got and deserved,I personally think Fowler wasn't used enough and should have stayed another year,I've watched a bit of this Voronin fella in the German League and he looks awful IMHO

Kewell looks considerably fitter than he did before his injury. He's lost the double chin and the ponytail which is a good start anyway.

If he had a little more game-time under his belt I'd be tempted to start him ahead of Zenden for the final.

A piece from Tim Vickery, of BBC Sport, about Liverpool's proposed new signing, Lucas Leiva:

----
"These moves are always a gamble, but I think this is a good one.

He's an exciting player of a type that Brazilian football hasn't produced too many of recently. Of late their central midfielders have tended to be 'holders' who sit and allow the full-backs to push forward.

Lucas is different. He's a big, blonde figure whose power and physical strength comes with attacking ability.

He can pass well and loves to rumble forward. He gets on the scoresheet both with blistering shots from range and from bursting beyond the strikers.

You can certainly imagine him playing alongside Javier Mascherano, for example.

I don't have the same fears for him as I did with Paletta. He's had two full seasons behind him - one helping Gremio win promotion from the second division, and then last year's success when he was chosen as the player of the championship.

In a perfect world you might want him to stay another year before moving on, but (a) Gremio need to sell to balance the books and (b) with Liverpool's strength in depth in central midfield it looks as if his first campaign will be a bedding in season. "

[The Real Laoislad]

So we'll have Sissoko Alonso Mascherano Gerrard and this new fella all fighting for two places I wonder is someone on their way out?
My guess would be Alonso

[Carmen Stateside]

Think it might be Alonso myself! Someone definetly going! What would they get for him?
