SOMEWHERE IN INGERLAND: Liverpool's greatest and arguably most dastardly transfer this year, Michael Owen, paid dividends last night when he helped
Burnley to a
1-0 win over Men.United.
In the game last night, Owen did his part for Liverpool's cause by being completely invisible to everyone. He never put a foot wrong throughout the game (in fact, he hardly put a foot anywhere near the ball at all), and even managed to '
accidentally' drift offside AND miss a clear header during the game.
And to top it all off, Owen even managed to dupe
Carrick into
believing that
Fergit had been
referring to HIM when he said, "Michael, you're taking the penalties this game".
The biggest disappointment was that Owen never got the chance to finish the game, as he was taken off at the 63rd minute by a perplexed
Fergit who thought he'd signed the next Henrik
Larsson.
In other news, Stoke City didn't manage to throw the ball into the net at
Anfield, though Liverpool did manage to
knock it into the goal four times, as opposed to none in the last season.
