Owen: 'One Goal In Four Months Is Not Good Enough'!
Michael Owen: "Fabio Capello's first England team was picked on in-form players, and I fully understand why I was left out.
"Four months with one goal mainly because of injury has not given me the opportunities to show the new manager what I can do.
"There is a new England manager and I get left on the subs' bench and the debate is: is this the beginning of the end of Owen's international career?
"Fortunately over the last 10 years or more I have always been able to answer all those people who are quick to write me off.
"I have proved them wrong time and again - not with words but with my performances out on the pitch. And I am certain I will do so this time as well.
"Some people are going over the top and jumping to conclusions after just one game. After all, it was only a friendly and the first game under a new regime.
"Let's wait until the World Cup games come around before making any long-term judgements. I would be far more disappointed if I had been left out of a qualifier."
