Losing Owen 'Not The End Of The World'!

Last Updated : 20-Nov-2007 by

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."
