Keegan: "I think he can mature into a different kind of player now, a bit like I did."
Some suggest, since his major injury, Owen has lost that burst of speed he was famous for.
The same thing happened to Alan Shearer when he suffered that horror injury at Goodison Park against Chelsea (it was a pre-season friendly in a four-club competition that included Everton and Ajax), and rather than 'play off' a target man, Shearer became a target man.
But Owen seems to be taking to the position, playing behind the front two, like a duck to water.
