That's just it. You don't build your team around 1 or 2 players unless (a.) you are a rookie coach or (b.) your coach is a former elite level goal poach of a forward. Oh..... wait.....

cadete Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) Zero goals while Kewell is on the field. That's hardly unusual, in fact we have been goal less in twice as many games as those Kewell has played for us...

Kewell had the biggest influence. Im saying in kalmar is another player that keeps the ball on the deck and is one of our two best players in having that ability to have that extra bit of time on the ball to bring other players in to the play.

Murfy1 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Harry Kewell has 'unfinished business' in A-League December 14, 2013 The champion striker's love of football remains undiminished, writes Dominic Bossi. HAVING finally overcome the two successive injuries that have delayed the start of his second season in the A-League, Harry Kewell has issued a warning to his opponents: ''I have unfinished business.'' For six weeks Kewell could only watch from the sidelines as Melbourne Heart laboured without reward in their search for a maiden victory. Now, having finally made his comeback, against the Wanderers last week, Kewell is eager to make up for lost time. And he hopes that process will begin against Sydney FC on Sunday, a game for which he is a good chance of returning to the starting line-up. ''People ask if I have a point to prove. I suppose the only point I have to prove is to myself, week in, week out, trying to better myself,'' Kewell says. It might seem surprising that a 35-year-old who has won the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup still feels the need to prove anything, even to himself. But the unceremonious end to his first stint in the A-League, with the Melbourne Victory, and his subsequent hiatus from playing - interrupted by a three-game stint in Qatar with Al-Gharafa - have given him the motivation to extend his days on the field and to excel. If he can do that, the frustration of all that time in the physio's room will be worth it. ''I always felt that I had unfinished business,'' he says. ''My time at Victory was short-lived, due to family reasons. I felt that I enjoyed it and I wanted to come back and put something back into Australia, and to do that I came out here to play my final years in Australia, and that's what I want to do.'' Kewell has no regrets about putting his family first, necessitating a move away from Australia, but admits that the enforced break in his career was one of his most testing periods in football. He found the sudden drop in pace of his life hard to come to terms with. Now, having resurrected his career, he is more determined to make the most of the time he has left in the game, and more prepared for what comes next when the final curtain falls. ''It's tough for something that you've dedicated your whole life towards, and it's a difficult thing,'' Kewell says. ''It's given me the opportunity that, one, I got to go back into it and it's also given me the insight of what to expect outside of football and make sure that my mind is occupied after I finish.'' For the moment, the most important thing is playing on. ''My motivation has always been there,'' he says. ''I was asked this question last night, 'What keeps making me put my boots on?' There's something inside of me that always wants to keep going. Having that year out, my hunger and desire were still the same as when I was 17 years old. It's actually probably more now that I'm getting older.'' Kewell admits that a return to the Socceroos would be nice, but says it's not even on his radar. Again, there is not much for him to prove on the international stage either. Few players have equalled his record of playing in four World Cup campaigns, including having been to the finals twice. One day, he will surely look back upon that record with pride. Now he simply wants to get back on the pitch. He remains as ambitious as he was with Leeds and with Liverpool and has the same raw passion that underpinned the best years of his career. ''It's actually just the love of the game ,and you love it so much that you'd do anything for it,'' he says. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/harry-kewell-has-unfinished-business-in-aleague-20131213-2zct9.html Edited December 13, 2013 by Murfy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartinHobart Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Definitely the worst penalty I've seen taken. It's not coincidental though that we played our best 30 minutes of football this season when Harry came on. Funny that our cheapest player is also is our best and most important.

Murfy1 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I don't blame Kewell that much for what happened today. I principally blame Aloisi, who's tactics and failure have given this club a poisonous atmosphere, where every goal we score or don't score is life or death, as we are nearly always chasing the game (I believe we've fallen behind first in 7 out of our 10 games). Despite his achievements, getting an aging and injury prone Kewell to be our messiah was always asking a lot. That miss was bad and disappointing, but only really a sideshow to the main event that is Aloisi's coaching horror show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiz.heart Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 newspapers will go to town on that miss tomorrow Once again he changed the game when he came on and showed immense fight but none of that will get mentioned because of that incident. I know he divides opinion on this forum but he needs the backing of all us fans as he is clearly our best player atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the team is better, the problem is that 'relying on Harry' is not good strategy and won't compensate for poor coaching and team management. Kewell would shine in a well coached team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastfly100 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 To be fair i can understand Harry's pain as i myself played under 16's B south and was the striker for the worst team in the comp. I scored 2 goals that season however i did also miss a penalty because there was a delay in taking it due to some springvale white eagles fuckers starting a fight with my fellow team mates. The long delay really goes to your head and its hard not to over think the penalty. give me a job on skysports! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 With due to respect to yourself FF, I would have thought an old pro like Kewell would have taken all that in his stride. OK its pressure, but when you have his experience you know how to deal with it. Seemingly not today though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Only a few days ago we were told that Williams took a penalty even though Mifsud is the designated penalty taker.

Caddy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 As much as I want to lay into Harry, I think he felt that as captain he should step up and take the penalty. I don't rate the selfish primadonna conspiracies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate the selfish primadonna conspiracies. I kind of feel the same there. I think that if he was fit he'd be our designated PK taker every game anyway, so I wasn't surprised to see him step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
