I think Finnan is BETTER than Josemi.  Josemi seems to be a bit too inconsistent and has made a few rash challenges.  I would like to see Finnan get a run in the team...
I think whilst Finnan has been getting a bit of flack (perhaps rightly so against City as I personally didn't think he seemed into it at all - perhaps that was the kick up the arse he needed?), he's done a good job for us this season.
I have constantly criticised Steve Finnan since he joined LFC but he was excellent last night and I'd agree Josemi has a real fight on his hands.

 Red and White Kop - We've got a right back called Steve Finnan - Liverpool FC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Unfortunately in his first season Steve was unlucky with injuries and suffered from indifferent form which led many Reds fans doubtful whether he was capable to play at right back.
This leaves a problem though, Finnan is the only “solid” option at right back, he’ll be an ever present in the side unless he gets injured (touch wood) an with Rafa failing to sign cover, or a possible replacement, in the summer it leaves us short of options in that particular area.
At the moment Richards would be good cover if Finnan was ever out with injury, and would be an excellent option when Finnan eventually retires, at 30 Finnan possibly has another 3 or 4 good years left in him and with Richards in the squad learning off him and Rafa he’d be the perfect replacement.
