I am really not getting the message through. I understand the type of player Owen is and I think he can be big given if he has a good provider of balls playing along side him. But do you all think it the Clubs fault that he has scored less goals last season and even the penalties? Be realistic guys that Michael needs to involve himself into the game more, maybe change his style of play.
In every good footballers' career there is a slump of form may it has got to Owen this time around. We hope things change next season. But I don't think it is the clubs fault as a whole if he does not perform. I would understand if Owen had some 20 goals this season on lone efforts. I can give credit to Gerrard for working alone but for someone who waits at the post to score and at times miss clear chances plus penalties, makes me wonder about the credit he's been given.
Let's see what comes next season but I think Cisse will be a good provider of balls to Owen.
