When Owen was at his peak, I was terrified everytime Man United
goes up against Liverpool. I would always pray our United defenders
can shut out Michael Owen.
When Owen's injury halted his career, that fear was gone. I
sensed he was no longer the same player he once was. Since then, I
was never worried about him playing against United because I knew
he couldnt do it.
Now that he has signed for United, I can only hope he can find
back his form. But right now, I am not convinced of his abilities
as a striker.
No pace, cant outjump most EPL defenders, hardly receive passes
from teammates due to being tightly marked.
I hope with better team mates, we can see the old Owen with the
terrifying form. I really hope he can contribute at least 10 goals
in his first season.
Glory United.
well, Owen is never tall, like a crouch.. he needs to be play
in, in the 6 yard box.
and while we can't expect him to run and score like that wonder
goal, but I think any chances in the 6 yard box, he should have a
high percentage of converting.
Plus if his understanding with berba or Rooney is sound, then he
will have more chances than in newcastle. and that's the gamble,
can he forge the r/s.
if yes, then good.. fitness wise, I think he will be used
sparingly, not an all-out striker. so finger-crossed.
