Last updated : 20 November 2007 By Footy Mad - Editor
Obafemi Martins: "It's really good playing up front with Michael (Owen), but it is up to the manager who plays.
"I will play with anybody, I don't mind whether it is Michael, Mark Viduka, Shola Ameobi, Alan Smith or Andy Carroll.
"We have many good strikers to play with here and I enjoy playing with them all.
"The only thing I can do is keep scoring because it is so important to the fans.
"Getting goals and getting three points means a lot to the people here and I have to work hard to help do that."
Happy to play with anyone
Michael Owen is currently sidelined with a thigh problem and Mark Viduka has also had injury concerns this season, but Martins maintains he can handle the pressure of being the senior striker.
He explained: "It's really good playing up front with Michael, but it is up to the manager who plays.
"I will play with anybody, I don't mind whether it is Michael, Mark Viduka, Shola Ameobi, Alan Smith or Andy Carroll.
"We have many good strikers to play with here and I enjoy playing with them all."
