Serious work is good! I'm totally biased to Kewell cos he is aussie, but redrider is absoloutly correct. He needs a kick up the ****** and pull his finger out. That is the only way to regain confidence. I think that is why rafa let him go to aus to play the Solomon Islands. I think he would of hoped that a couple of goals against easier opposition would of boosted his confidence.
The only way to have a better mentality is to play...but then again only way to recover from injury is to rest. I hope he's fully fit enough to play at his peak of his physical ability - but until then, he can never get back his confidence. I believe he can do it!
On a side note, is Risse playing for Norway in the friendly? Be good to see them play against each other. I know The Aussie squad is full of Premiership players. I think it will be a good game.
