Owen defends Eriksson >
Owen Backs SvenMichael Owen, unsurprisingly, backs Sven to the hilt. This is what the new Newcastle striker had to say about Sven after the Northern Ireland defeat.
Owen Said >>
"If the manager gets stick it's due in no small part to the players. We were out there playing and we didn't perform well enough."
"We played well for the first half an hour but then seemed to get worse and worse. But we take collective responsibility for the performance and now we have to show collective togetherness, stick tight and put it right in the next two games."
England Blog Comment >> Not sure if Owen would say the same if he were'nt Sven's golden boy. Not that I don't rate Owen highly, just not as highly as Sven. It is common knowledge managers can get blind spots regard some players. As Michael Owen is always in Sven's team no matter what, it is unsurprising Owen has jumped to Sven's defence.
