Pompey Boys Claim They Will Be A Success At Owen's Expence!
"I certainly think it helps. We haven't talked about playing for England together but it is an option and it will be of benefit that we play alongside each other week in and week out.
"We clicked together straight away. We play to each other's strengths. We set each other up and play very well as a combination.
"In fairness, I've played with Jermain right from the England Under-21s. The fact we played together will help internationally as well but we have certain other strikers in the squad who want to play as well.
"We had a team meeting on Tuesday evening. Mr Capello's preparation is very similar to the manager at Liverpool (Rafael Benitez) - in training and in terms of attention to detail. He won't leave anything to chance."
