Kewell does not belong at Liverpool and especially not in the No7 shirt. He wouldn't be out of place with the Old Liverpool Spice boys who we were all glad to see the back of. We need players with heart and with spirit and the right frame of mind. If Kewell was injured, he should have had the op and stay away from the first team until he was 100% fit as Kirkland, Alonso and Cisse did. Agreeing to play whether he was pressured to do so or not was the wrong thing to do and it put us in a terrible situation in games such as the Champions League final. Of course I can understand an injury holding a player back, but I do not understand the way Kewell has handled the situation. Most players would have had an op straight away instead of changing their fitness status from day to day as though he is the most important thing for Rafa to think about. Rafa has many things to think about and Kewell would have made it easier for everyone just by having the op and not coming back until he is fit.
