Euro 2004 Predictions

**Dazz** · 06-21-2004, 10:08 PM

Owen is good at holding the ball up, and often makes the right passes, he was given a high amount of stupid hopeless balls to him that he was expected to make something out of nothing. If Owen was so static he would not have created three goals. Like I say though, the way Rooney plays means its much harder for Owen to find space, as Rooney moves away from the opposing centre backs which means Owen is tighter marked. I agree that Owen shouldn't try and be a pacey attacker anymore, but the fact is thats how Sven wants him to play so he has to stick with it.

I think he made some great runs today, alot of them resulted in him either fluffing the end product or the balls being played to him sucking and not reaching him.
