Originally posted by col Blake View Posthard to tell as he is playing as a third striker behind the two front men, but in the box he still beats any defender to the ball, his midfield link up role has give him something diffrent to his game, he is at lot more skillfull than people give him credit for.
He has always had a great first touch and can run with the ball ala Argentina but he was obviously more dangerous with that extra yard or two of pace.
Still an excellent player but without the injuries I feel he would have been one of the greats.

I was at the Reading game last season whne owen first returned after his injury and he did look like he lost some pace, It shouldn't matter tho because he is a expert at finding space and the slight loss of pace won't affect him!! look how well shearer continued to do after he lost a yard after his knee injury!

Premier League - Given out for the season
Premier League - Given out for the season

Shay Given is unlikely to play again this season, according to Newcastle United manager Kevin Keegan.
The 31-year-old goalkeeper is recovering well from a groin operation, but Keegan will err on the side of caution whatever happens.
"I think he'll be fit by the end of the season, and he'll train with us for maybe the last week or 10 days, but there's no sense for him to play a match," he said.
"He just needs to know by the end of the season that he's fit, ready to go away and come back fit for pre-season with all his problems behind him. I think that, for him, will be a massive relief."
United's next two games are against Sunderland and West Ham - two clubs with significance for the Republic of Ireland international.
Given had a loan spell with Sunderland, and it was a 2006 challenge with West Ham's Marlon Harewood that left him with a perforated bowel - a condition which has contributed to his groin problems.
Meanwhile, Steve Harper continues to perform well as his understudy, and Given will likely face stiff competition for his place when he returns to action.
