He is constantly using his vast experience in directing play but to no avail, it would appear that some of the key players at Newcastle United run around with blinkers on, not noticing Owens directions. This was very much the case at Stoke last week, on many occasions Owen tried to indicate which players were in striking and unmarked positions to his advancing midfield players only for them to past the ball to a marked player or even to the other side.
If Newcastle are to have any chance of surviving in the Premier League they really have to get their act together and get all of the players singing from the same song sheet.
Michael Owen's desire is very much there for all to see but even he can not keep them up by himself. If Alan Shearer can galvanize the team into some sort of order with Owen at the forefront the they may just have an outside chance of survival.
The big question is will Owen or Shearer be at Newcastle come the summer.
