SHEARER: Owen Is The Best

OWEN THE BEST?

SHEARER SAID: "He's a great player. He's the best forward in English football and he'll always score goals, whatever team he's playing in - but not tomorrow, I hope! He knows how much I admire him, and people know how much I admire him.

"From the clips I saw, he looked sharp on Wednesday night. Obviously, he didn't get on the scoresheet, whether that was poor finishing or good goalkeeping, I don't know, but the more games he plays the better he'll become.

"It's nigh on impossible to come straight back into the groove and do things when you've been out as long as he has, but I think he's had one full game and one 80 minutes last week, so he'll be getting there - and he has been a pain in the neck for us at times."
