Newcastle boss backs Owen

Newcastle boss backs Owen

08 March 2008 - 10:41

Ahead of this weekends crucial Premiership battle between Newcastle and Liverpool, Kevin Keegan has backed misfiring forward Michael Owen to put on a great display on his emotional return to his old club.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • Keegan says: 'I don't think Michael will need an extra incentive. He's been outstanding in training and matches since I've been here - his work-rate has been terrific.



    'When we weren't creating anything he was scoring goals despite that, and against Blackburn last Saturday, when we created chances but he didn't score, he came into the dressing room and apologised.



    'He will be up for it. I know what it's like going back to play there. It's a wonderful experience going back to a former club, made even more wonderful when you get something.'
