I R Toon Fan 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Will we see the best of Owen at SJP before he either injures himslef into early retirment or move on? I do hope so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySol 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 No we will never see him hit anything like the form he once had.... would be suprised if he scored more than 20 goals in all comps in any of the next 2 seasons or however long he remains.

I R Toon Fan 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 You think he'll go at end of season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobbySol 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You think he'll go at end of season? Nope, don't think he's an attractive prospect (anymore) for any of the top 7 clubs let alone the big 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 86 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 big burden on the wagebill for no end product currently. i hope he changes this around.... i have my doubts however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusoda Kid 1 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Would like too, but can't see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 You think he'll go at end of season? He'll wait til the end of next season before leaving on a Bosman. I think, if we're lucky, we might get the occasional flash of the player he used to be. Most of the time he's going to look like a spent force though.

The Beef 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think we will but it will take him a while. but lets see how he plays for england next week, see if he looks the same player or if he looks like the old owen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 i wouldn't write him off just yet. he does seem to have lost the pace to go past defenders easily though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13830 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 He's lost some pace but if he's getting the right deliveries i reckon his finishing will still be up to scratch. He also hasn't been that fit when the deliveries were there. He needs it to his feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 He has definitely lost some pace and doesnt accelerate past them the way he used to and it is a bit worrying. On the plus side, he is still one of the most intelligent runners off the ball and his timing of where he needs to be is as good as ever and you'd expect under Keegan we will actually start to create chances for him, when i suspect he'll show his finishign hasn't changed much at all. So i think we'll see alot more from Owen, but not him at his absolute best because of the injuries he's had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontoasey 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I still think he weill come good for us, needs the right service, wait till we have a decent creative midfielder or 2 next season, he will score a hatful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I R Toon Fan 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I have hoped that Owen would come good soon for a year now. I guess I'm just a little downhearted is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I R Toon Fan 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I hope I dont talk too much bollocks. If we dont win at Middlesbro' were in a bit of bova tbh. Lets be honest who was expecting us to do well against Arsenal twice in 4 days at Emerites? Would have been nice to score a fucking goal! (Owen) But what you gonna do?

sammynb 2929 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 He's spent. Pace is gone, timing is gone and it looks like he's lost the power in his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8870 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 He's spent. Pace is gone, timing is gone and it looks like he's lost the power in his shot. You could see today that his timing today is still pretty perfect if it hadn't been for the stupid linesmen who only suffer from their Parkinson fits at the wrong moments. A couple of other runs behind the back of the defenders were decent too, shame he has to get the service from the likes of Butt and Rozehnal in midfield...

Wolfgang I must admit I didn't get to see the second half because I had to get to work but in the first half it looked 50/50 to me. He was called wrong on two occasions but there another couple where he was definitely offside. It looks to me he is aware he's lost a lot of pace and he's over compensating this results in him being offside a lot more. The other problem he faces is on nights like tonight when the ball is skiding across the surface he us shown up for his lack of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 When a player gets caught offside it doesn't mean his timing is out neccessarily Sammy. It can be the other player not releasing the ball soon enough. And to be fair to Owen, the timing of his runs still looks pretty good to me.

Bombadil 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I agree it's not really Owen's fault. His pace is definitely gone, which is a real worry, but it's hard to judge his timing when I can't even remember the last decent through-ball or pass there was for him to run on to.

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 it's fucking typical that martins has got the pace but lacks composure and owen is cool in front of goal but he's lost his pace. and viduka is fat and the less said about shola and smith the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 it's fucking typical that martins has got the pace but lacks composure and owen is cool in front of goal but he's lost his pace. and viduka is fat and the less said about shola and smith the better We need some young healthy strikers who aren't scatty or lazy.
