Barry Kewell...

[Tom]

He'll be on the subs bench and be used as an impact player like today I should imagine. Did look very effective.

[CAD]

Don't make the same mistake again. Use him as a sub.

Just watched the Milan game (1-1 against some ****e team). They were all playing, Gattuso, Kaka, Seedorf and Pirlo. The sheer lack of pace all through the game was amazing. It's like watching the PL on slowmotion.

I'm absolutely positive we will win this final!

[Guest]

Yep, he won't probably start but he'll be on the bench defo, with Robbie or Momo missing out IMO. How many could be on the subs bench for the final ?

[Tom]

I'd use him as an impact sub - he hasn't got 90 top level minutes in him

beat me to it.

[Red_Polo]

i feel that his presence gave the midfield balance when stevie tucked in last season and his absence might explain our disjointed displays at times- and even stevie's hit and miss form

Totally agree. He's the only top quality wide player we have.

COME ON !!!!

I'd prefer to see him running at Milan near the end of the game rather than at the start as I seriously doubt he can complete 90 minutes.

Look how easy he gave up in Istanbul, never forgive him for that the knobjockey - but he's by far the best leftie in the team as Riise is simply NOT a winger. Bolo should be shot.

Yeah Harry went off I think we were all disappointed but I really don't believe he wanted to go off in a CL final.
Also who came on for him, Smicer, who knows what would have been.
I think Kewell looked like the Harry we thought we were getting today I would like to see him play a big part in the final as I'm sure he feels he needs to do it and an in form Harry is the missing link in our play.
Look how he linked up with the strikers and MF today it was great to see some really intelligent play when he came on.
Get in Harry - he looks fit enough to me but probably could be used better as an impact sub.

[Shaggy]

He starts for me.

He makes us a much better side, both in terms of balance and quality. I'd rather start him - to give us a better chance of being in a better position with half an hour to go, rather than send him on as an "impact sub" when we're 2-0 down and Zenden's had another nightmare.

I think Rafa being the cautious coach that he is will bring him on later in the game. Zenden will start i'm pretty sure, or Stevie could also start on the left with Pennant on the right.

[Morph]

deffo in the squad, starting i'm not so sure i reckon rafa will start with zenden as in previous matches, i'd rather he didn't but knowing rafa he will probably go more defensive minded to start with

[REDSCOUSER]

but knowing rafa he will probably go more defensive minded to start with

thats what i dont like about Rafa sometimes. he is more defensive minded
than attack..we have the players so why dont we go at it from the start against Milan aging defence ?

[Parm]

He did well today, again coming off the bench. He hit the crossbar with a peach of a shot.
I still think Zenden will start the final with Kewell coming on maybe in the last 25 minutes when Maldini and co tire.

cant wait to see how he was on MOTD. If he is fit then he has to play -v- Milan, but perhaps a starting role would be a bit too much of an ask. Coming on for the second half, last 30mins maybe the best for him.

[Jayesh87]

Rafa said he might be on the bench for the final.

"Kewell was fantastic and he tried to beat players, had shots and scored so it was really good for us," enthused Benitez.

"Harry has been training well and we will see how he is when we go on our training camp. He is certainly in my thoughts for the final and he could be on the bench but we will see."

[Red_Al_77]

I can see the bench being Dudek, Arbeloa, Bellers, Pennant, Sami, Kewell and Momo. Fowler may miss out.

That's only 7 players dude.
