gives us tremendous balance which is part of the reason we've seen a marked improvement this season but to me his goal record and crossing could be better.

then he'll be double boss ;)

I dont understand all this to be honest, he has improved us to no end on the left but mostly cause we were cack there to begin with. he has no pace, cant get past players, scores few goals and as Rushian said his crossing would be better.......time for Gonzalez

you don't have to understand

I don't understand why so many are reluctant to give him any praise, he still hasn't reached back to his best yet (which he admits himself) but his quality is returning and he has made himself an integral part of the team again.

He is a long way off his best but as said above, he gives us much needed balance on the left side. His distribution is also neat and tidy sometimes but he should offer a lot more than just being tidy in posession. Also seems to have lost all of his pace which is a great dissapointment.

 

Generally pleased with his season though. The biggest thing is he is playing regularly.

His lack of goals are the only concern.

What he said. I think he's been a disappointment really.

he's been decent really but the problem is we were all expecting the harry kewell of old to show up at some point and it looks like it just won't happen

It's getting more like the old Kewell every month imo

He has been better than he was. However, that was pretty abysmal. I don't think the site of Kewell will puty the fear into any FB's as it would have in 2001. He is a much better user of the ball and gets back to defend much better but he doesn't offer very much in the terms of attacking and taking players on. I wouldn't be surprised to see him off loaded when Gonzalez becomes established.

not in a million years, he'll play him off the striker for a start.

I agree. He may get a run as a second striker though. I think from now on that position is a better match for his skill set.

Good to see him improve, still a shadow of the player he should be

Harry is going to play as a second striker next year. Rafa always liked playing Harry (when fit) in the second striker position with Baros last year.

 

He does not need as much pace up front as he does on the wing, and that will give him a great lease of life.

He's great on the ball, and would have a much greater assist stat if those on the end of his crosses and passes had a greater conversion rate. If he plays a more central role, which could very well be the case next season, he'll get more goals.

 

He couldn't even run properly last year, let alone with pace. He has lost a lot of his pace, which I don't believe that he'll get back. Despite this, his recovery has been remarkable, his time on the field unbelievable and his effort outstanding. He turned the Oz WC qualifier on it's head when he came on, and he hasn't looked back since. He is class, and I doubt that Rafa will get rid.... even if he ends up as a classy squadie!

I think Crouch needs to work on his agressivness in the air. He needs to practice attacking the ball more like Duncan Ferguson.

 

To many times this year Kewell has put a great ball into the box, only for Crouchy to pussy tap the ball with his head for some reason. It happens when we do our set pieces to Crouch also. Only 2 times this year can i remember when he attacked the ball (Newcastle home, Manchanter FA CUP) and he scored on both occasions.

 

RAfa really really needs to try and make him more agressive over the summer, because he could easily score 4-9 goals more in the season with his head if he did so.

Duncan Ferguson attacks the ball???? Everything else yes - but the ball?

He should get lessons from Garcia and Kewell for starters about heading...
