Keegan Tells Martins To Be Forest Gump!

Kevin Keegan: "I just said to Oba at half-time (in the 4-1 win at Spurs on Sunday): 'With your ability, when you get the ball turn and run at people'.

"I said: 'Don't pass it to someone and try and play one-two, turn and run at people'. In the second half when he did that I just said 'wow'.

"Mark Viduka is different from anyone in the Premiership and so is Martins, while Michael Owen is an outstanding player.

"If you have got those three in the opposing half and trying to win you something, it doesn't half give the ones behind them some confidence, even if they have conceded a goal because they now know that there are goals in us.

"It's not the end of the world if we conceded the first goal like we did at Birmingham and again against Spurs on Sunday because we now have the players and the system to put things right at the other end."
