how did he speak to Brendan Rodgers about moving to Liverpool after Newcastle, Owen left Newcastle in 2009 and Rodgers didn’t even become Liverpool manager until 2012😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because he's chatting rubbish as always
It's not the 1st time he has said this. He's said it on another interview. He's delusional. End off.
He’s confused! But he is probably talking about after man utd exit where he ended up in Stoke! But of course Liverpool wouldn’t want him then
Still to this day Michael Owen was easily Newcastles biggest waste of money to this day. You were as committed as Ryan Giggs and John Terry are to friends and family
That’s harsh…but funny.
He was a pace merchant that did his knee and hamstring. What did you expect?
Is that to this day?
He wasn't bad when he played, unfortunately between beeing injured and not wanting to play and risk injuries, he hardly played...
To this day?
Brendan Rodgers was coaching Reading in the summer of 2009 when Michael was trying to persuade him to take him back at Liverpool so I’m not surprised it didn’t work.
😂
"If they finish with the most points, they will be top" - Michael Owen, 2024
He’s a clever fella ain’t he 😂
Duh
All the oxygen was going to those legs , can you be surprised he says this sort of stuff ?
thats what you call a visionary
You can't win a game without the ball.
I’m a United fan, so the last person with a horse in the race here, in fact, if I was going to be biased towards anyone, it would be Owen, but the fact is, I seen both in their primes, and it’s not even a hard question to answer… Robbie Fowler was the better player. Owen had very little on him besides pace. Fowler’s finishing was on another level. He’s the most naturally talented finisher I’ve ever seen on the Premier League, and I’ve watch every season, since its inception in 1992.
I'm an Everton fan, I couldn't care who is rated as better. The blatant truth is that Fowler bar pace was superior to Owen in every element. Two footed, heading, intelligence, link up play, strength, passing, consistency, and most of all finishing. Owen was a great finisher, Fowler was something else.
Yep. I'm an arsenal fan and we had Ian Wright. But Fowler is the best finisher I've ever seen. I'm talking about natural finisher.
Owen played for United. Legend status revoked
Nailed it.
Legend status may of been revoked but he went to Madrid in the glory years when Zidane and brazilan Ronaldo was there .... and was the best player goal scorer in those seasons and won the golden boot . He was better then folwer
Liverpool never wanted him tho…
Only Everton & Utd went in for him.
What’s he supposed to do?
Remain unemployed?
@@KINGKING10109 Liverpool did want him back but they weren’t prepared to pay what real wanted.
@ramps2402 He joined United from Newcastle not Madrid.
Im a Liverpool fan and Robbie in his prime was better than Owen I don't have any doubts about that. Growing up watching Liverpool Fowler was my hero, Owen was amazing but Robbie for me all day long. They didn't call Fowler God for nothing.
Owen was another level ffs.
Owen was ahead of fowler for Liverpool and England so as Liverpool fan I’m thankful u never became manager 😊
@@mr__OK Owen won ballon dor too... 100% agree with you
Fowler levels below Owen..
Not for me, when Owen scored that goal against Argentina - brilliant !
brendan rodgers wasnt the manager at that time when he went united, Rafa Benitez was and it was rafa who signed Ngog in the summer of 2008, Owen signed for united in the summer of 2009 a year later and Benitez was still the manager, hodgson came in 2010, dalglish 2011 then brendan in 2012.
Yes! Have a feeling Owen is chatting abit of s**t!
No chance. Prime Owen was brilliant but prime Robbie was something else. Much more intelligent, all round better footballer than Owen was.
Also agree. Fowler had everything, could score anywhere in or around the box, could score with either foot and great with his head. His free kicks were top drawer too.
Absolutely agree with you both.
Liverpool fan of 40 year's Fowler was god say's it all Fowler over Owen all day long
But he never was, Owen was always picked over him.
Fowler was like Le Tisser. He scored all sorts of fantastic goals from crazy angles.
Fowler was better because he didn't turn into a brexit gammon later in life
@@reluctantsocialist2670 oh look a salty remoaner!
@reluctantsocialist2670 just a raging coke head instead
@@reluctantsocialist2670Guzzling immigrant semen.
Fowler was a genius stuck in an average body.
Humble as always!
Owen was about pace and finishing. Fowler was an all rounder who could score all types of goals. I'd take prime Fowler over prime Owen any day.
God owns Judas
Fowler over Owen every day.
Ynwa
"Owen was about pace and finishing ... " So that's the only thing he had in his locker? ... 🤔
@@mafiosol_buenavidayes
@@stevenwest0 Obviously you don't know football (or didn't have a tv in the 90s/00s), never fear, UA-cam is here for the likes of you to catch-up and be better informed.
Fowler was a better all round player without question. Owen's pace was a difference maker for him.
Yep!! And as soon as he lost his pace, bang average
The debate needs to be contextualised. For starters, when Owen becomes established Fowler was already out of his peek due to injuries. So the fact that Owen was often picked over Fowler is not really a strong argument because the Fowler he played ahead of was not peak Fowler, not even close. I mean Origi regularly benched Sturridge when the latter was not in his peak. Would he had benched peak Sturridge. This is not likely at all. You have to compare the strikers peak years and their statistics during their peak years.
Fowler scored 28 goals in the PL in the 95/96 season and 25 in the season after. Owens record in PL is 19 goals.
Ask 100 Liverpool fans and 100 will pick Fowler based on talent. I'd pick Djimi Traore to play up front instead of Owen after he signed for Utd
owen was a one trick pony ,all about sprinting in from 30 yards out on to a pass.good player but not a patch on fowler
Also based on goals. Fowler broke 30+ goals twice
Owen was the poster boy of English football and the part time fans who didn’t actually watch fowler in his prime will base in on popularity
U cry baby Owen was ballon dor winner. Prime owner vs prime fowler Owen wins everyday
WELL SAID......... who is he?????
@@tee565 says a united supporter
leicester fan Fowler in his prime every time just a natural goal scorer could play in any era
Couldnt lace a prime fowlers boots
I watched both from the start of their careers and as much as I loved Owens brace against Arsenal in the cup and his pace as a youngster?......, He hasn't got a patch on God. Robbie didn't only score tap ins or running behind defenders. He scored worldies. God came back. Michael defected to the enemy....lol. two good lads in fairness
Liverpool fans can't get over that Owen played for utd.
Two completely different strikers.
Fowler natural ability.
Owen devastating pace .
Owen natural finisher + clinical finisher + devastating pace. Which is why he was guaranteed for England and got games at Real Madrid and won a bd.
Still not as prolific as fowler. Fowlers first 3 seasons better than owens then fowler injuries after that never recovered.
@kur you must be to young and never watched fowler because his his best years he scored much more than owens best years
@@Kurgan618 Fowler scored more goals and different types of goals and was much more of a natural finisher than Owen. Fowler all day long.
Michael Owen always blames Brendan Rodgers for not signing him - Owen joined United in 2009, Rodgers wasn't Liverpool boss until 2012
He keeps saying that 😂😂😂😂😂 Whats wrong with him 😅😅😅😅
@@dalehart8687 its benitez
Beautiful human being
I loved Fowler and Owen. Owen was brilliant for us but for me Fowler is the best goal scorer I’ve ever seen. He was unreal.
How come best goal scorer u ever seen couldn’t get in Liverpool or England first team ahead of Owen??
@@mr__OK I don’t know I wasn’t the manager. Why are you asking me?
@mr fowler played with ian rush mate. His best years were before owen came along!!
Also for england fowler was up against alan sherar where owen was up against heskey……
Fowler scored 25 and 28 premier league goals
Owen never scored more than 19………
If you never watched fowler in his prime you will never know how good he was
Fowler was better scored goals like Suarez from all angles . Owen was good as he had pace but fowler was a natural finisher
Hes saying he got picked over fowler after fowler was past his peak. When he had his few years at peak he wa better than owen at his peak
Fowler at his peak, couldn't touch Owen at his peak.
Both quite different players. Owen had electric pace and dribbling. Fowler could score from anywhere. If Owen didn't do his hamstring when he was that young he could have been truly elite. Fowler seemed past his peak by 25, but was still my favourite player growing up.
"he could have been truly elite" He won the Ballon d'or
Very hard for me to put a speed merchant ahead of a technical specimen. And yes, I do know how important pace is... fowler definitely a better footballer, but debatable who was more effective in their prime...
@@JPlayerL10 he was done by 28. The Ballon d’Or was when he was about 21. Owen was ruined by the hamstring injury. He would have a bunch of Ballon d’Or’s if he wasn’t playing on one hammy the rest of his career.
@@RaseYourProbsit's easy when you compare who won what.
You’re giving Owen a pass for injuries yet Fowler was never the same after his leg break - 3 seasons with 30 plus goals something Owen never did - the sky was the limit for him.
Robbie in his prime
Hands down head and shoulders above Owen
how many ballon d'or titles has fowler got ? 😂
@@nadaduo1765 🤣 the most random ballon dor winner in history tbh. Raul should have won it, I think even owen himself was surprised. Anyone who knows football knows that bar pace - fowler was better in every single regard. Tell me what other element Owen surpasses him at? I'm an Everton fan btw
@@peterroberts7130I get Fowler's argument, and those defending him, but in reality it's a moot point. Peter Crouch had a better all round game than Owen, but there's no doubt who you'd have. Owen might be a bit of a prat, but in his prime he was absolutely frightening. Yes his pace was paramount to that, but so what?
robbie fowler was over rated
@@lrtvhighlights3687 underrated if anything. I'm guessing you are too young to have seen him play 1994-96. 25&28 prem goals in consecutive seasons. Owen never hit 20 prem goals once. Fowler was a different level - take it from me, I'm an Everton fan. Suarez>Fowler>Torres>Rush>Owen in that order
Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen were both brilliant and equally good.
Ran his contract down to move to Madrid on the cheap, didnt work out and Liverpool offered Madrid the same cheap fee they bought him for. Owen could have held his nerve and forced the move by refusing to go to Newcastle but bottled it because he put playing for England above wanting to play for Liverpool. Thats why Liverpool was done with him and for most reds he will never be a Liverpool legend, even before his move to United
Hes still a ballondor winner which is remarkable
Why was Owen calling Brendan Rodgers to come to Liverpool in 2009? This was four years and three managers before Rodgers took over!
its benitez benitez
Yet it’s Fowler that’s called God.
Before Owen really took over, yes.
You 🤡 there is only one true God. Don't be blasphemous
@@murdock6450 Owen is still called god like Fowler?
England fans thought Owen was god when he smacked that goal in against Argentina at 18! Fowler would've been hung over and had the ball whipped off his feet! No question though that he was superb in the Premier League and regularly scored outrageous goals. Lfc have had the most incredible strikers since Rush.
@@Kurgan618 don't be a 🤡 show me where England fans called Owen 'God'. At least they're not simple minded pagans!
Owen was a fantastic player he lost a tad of pace after the injury but that’s to be expected. I will always give him his respect no matter. Fowler, what a player. It will be hard to find another striker who was blessed with so natural ability. Both legends without a doubt. 🤫
Fowler had seasons where he got 25 and 28 league goals. Owen's highest was 19. But Owen was probably better when he played with Fowler, as Fowler dropped off a cliff. Was it injuries or lack of dedication? Maybe a bit of both
Exactly. Prime fowler was definitely better!!
Owen was a bigger name and a poster boy for england with beckham and thats why people will pick owen.
Basically the people to young to have watched fowler will say owen
If Owen had stayed at Pool he'd be regarded the same way as Fowler. He's adored, Owen will never be loved despite the fact he was at one time a hero. The Utd move sealed his fate
Both great players and clinical finishers. Owen was electric with pace to burn off the shoulder which made him untouchable. Fowler was better as a striker all round in my opinion.. left foot, right foot, header, in the box, out the box, could score any type of goal.
Agree. Both had different attributes. Owen had electric pace on his day for sure. Fowler was more complete and scored more variety of goals. Shame he suffered so many injuries or he would have scored tons more goals.
Two greats, both good servants for the club.
Very different.
Who'd i want to watch most in their prime... Owen... electric.
Who'd I put my life on to put one in the top corner... Fowler... clinical.
Micheal owen was my childhood hero, but fowler was a more complete footballer
Michael Owen was the better player, Liverpool fans on here will never admit it because of the Man Utd move and the devotion to Fowler
💯
Nice of Owen to bring his kid to work with him.
Anything to rake some more money in. It's always about the money with MO the Manc ......
Thought it was Sergio Reguillon
Robbie Fowler was a much better all round player. Owen relied on his pace was very injury prone
He is called god for a reason fowler was the most natural English goalscorer we have seen all types of goals Owen just had pace and playing for United ends all conversation about him
You ever heard of Jimmy Greaves
Owen and Fowlers careers were very similar for Liverpool fans. Fowler came in and scored 12, 25, 28 and 18 and then got injured. And then Owen showed up and got back to back golden boots and rocked the 98 world cup and then he got injured. And then both became what ifs?
Fowler is clear of Owen. Owen's main attributes were his speed and finishing. Fowler wasn't as quick but was a better finisher with both feet, could head, was more instinctive, and could create something from nothing.
Fowler was God
Owen played for United
Both of their careers were ruined by injury,they still had fantastic careers but they dissolved into nothing way too soon. Fowler before his injury was the better player. Dont forget how fast Fowler was as a skinny teenager. After his injury he put on weight lost his pace and was never the same.
Fowler best finisher ive seen owen was raw pace but on finishing ability fowler all day imo
Yeah, I'm 100 % with _"God"_ on this one. Paraphrasing: The only area in which _Owen_ truly topped him was speed.
Fowler was untouchable when he turned up sadly his ill disapline young made it hard for him to keep up with the adopting game
Fowler was all natural.
He wasnt so professional and thats where the line draws.
He was going to madrid but was injured he even celebrated a CL win with madrid and McManaman 😂
For me fowler was different level his touch or first time shot was unbelievable.
Owen was brilliant as well but his finishing was just a little short of fowlers but both top strikers
Fowlers prime was better. Owen had incredible pace. It's one of the things that becomes a massive asset as a forward. But Fowler was the best natural finisher in his era. His overall game was better and Owen dived the moment his pace went. Owen didnt have enough in his game to be of any use other than his finishing.
Benitez signed Ngog, Rodgers didn’t go to Liverpool until 2012 I think
Absolutely surprising that Michael Owen never reached the 20 league goal mark in any campaign in his career.
Wasn't a common thing in top leagues back then.
@@costellomhor Just look at the top strikers of that day. In various top leagues there were several that could put up 20 minimum most seasons.
@@costellomhor Robbie managed it twice though.
Peak (pre injuries) Michael Owen was a better version of Rashford. Peak (pre injuries) Robbie Fowler was a better version of Harry Kane. Just watch his highlights from 94 - 97.
Rashford ain't in that company mate wash ya mouth out
@staffh3815 I'm talking stylistically. Owen was 'stylistically' like Rashford, but a much better striker.
Fowler just didnt have Owens pace, that is all that was (better)
Fowler's game had alot more than Owen's when one agrees on the pace factor...
And thus the reason for Englands coach picks he eludes too, pace and finishing, but if you need a goal Fowler was the man when the pace was countered..
Watching his two goals in fa cup final against arsenal. Watching it on pay-per-view in California. Paying that $20 was totally worth it
I remember I went outside to put the washing on the line 1 -0 arsenal....came back 5 mins later the score was 1 -2 😊
He needs to stop saying in his interviews he called Brenden Rodgers! Owen joined United in 2009 & Rodgers came to Liverpool 2012
He looks like Owen and Regulon in one.
Liverpool fan here. Only one of these strikers was called God, and it was Fowler. Love him. Doesn't help that Michael is just kind of...unlikable. 😅
Fowler over Owen any day!
Owen relied on pace, Fowler was the most natural finisher since Greavsie. He didn't need electric pace. He just knew where the goal was!
Owen got 89 caps and 40 goals at international level. Fowler scored 7 international goals. Nuff said
Not really, mate. Fowler had these other strikers about Wright, shearer ferdinand Cole collymore Sheringham.. Owen had heskey and Alan Smith to compete with for England more than enough said. Points deserve context mate 👍
What 😂😂
Folwer scored 30+ goals twice and owen never did that once
Also fowler got more assists.
Enough said
It don't matter what Michael thinks. I can tell you 99% of lfc fans know who the better player was and it was god.
I remember watching Fowler get that hat-trick against Arsenal when they had a rock solid defence of Adams, Bould/Keown, Winterburn, DIxon and Seaman in goal. Fowler was lethal in the box, a natural goalscorer. As good as Owen was Fowler was definitely ahead of him IMO.
Big difference is Owen did it on the international stage whereas Fowler's best days were domestically. Both were world class strikers at their best.
England claimed Owen first and Fowler was perceived more as one of their own by the Reds than Owen. Have to say Fowler came across a bit jealous of Owen's progress when they played together, 'rarely' passed the ball to him (it seemed), whilst Owen on his emergence was always reverent to Fowler.
Nah Fowler was judge by where he was from! Fowler was one of best natural finishers ever
@@QTSweetFX That's not disputed, however did he win a ballon d'or?
@@mafiosol_buenavida He didn't need to win a bollock d'or. He scored more Liverpool goals, was the better natural finisher and his untarnished status as a Liverpool legend is worth way more than little micky owen's cheesy little bollock d'or.
They did have some different attributes, Robbie was a better finisher, better at free kicks and penalties, better passer. But Michael was a very good finisher, very agile and had that ridiculous pace which he used to dribble through defences. I think it hurts Robbie that he felt replaced, in many respects he was unfortunate though, for Liverpool he was injured around the time Michael breaks through and Houlier focused more on the quick counter which suited Owen. For England he was competing with Shearer who was established as the number 9, by the time Owen is around Shearer is started to slow down and operate more in a hold up role.
This should be a transitional season, but credit to Klopp for getting them to where they are and in the mix. Quite happy for City to be thought of as favourites.
I worship Robbie, for me he is my hero amongst Kenny, Rush, Barnes and StevieG.
But Owen v Fowler in their primes youve got to give it to Owen, he was the very best of wonderkids a truly amazing talent and if not for injuries could have been a global legend.
If he was looking to go to Liverpool after leaving Newcastle and the first person he phoned is Brendan Rodgers, it's unsurprising he never ended ended up there. Rodgers was Swansea manager.
We have 4 trophies because of Michael Owen. Robbie is more beloved but for me Michael is the man
One of the biggest mysteries for me was Robbie Fowler, just like Matthew Le Tissier, not doing it at international level. Sure, he was behind Shearer and Sheringham, but both of them were amazing in the Premier League and then looked absolute bang average when they put an England shirt on. Sure, international football was relatively of a much higher standard than the Premier League in the 90's, but still, these were World Class players, in my opinion.
One was called God , the other wasn’t ! Speaks volumes
Robbie was a Prodigy for 3/4year
Peak Fowler (95-98) before the cruciate ligament injury was one of the most lethal finishers you would ever see. By the time Owen broke through, Fowler was slightly in decline, still a great finisher but having lost a yard of pace. With Houllier playing counter attack football the pace of Owen was more suitable to that style of play. I'd take peak Fowler over peak Owen but both players at their peak were amazing.
Owen will get us 10 goals in a season but score 2 in a Final. Robbie Fowler was an honorary BRAZILLIAN
10 goals? U do realise he won 2 golden boots? How many fowler get ?
Prime Owen is underrated. Absolutely lethal. Big game player.
They were both great strikers who could have been so much more if it weren't for injuries. But prime Fowler was better than prime Owen. Owen was blessed with pace and had a terrific sense of timing with his runs, but Fowler was a natural goalscorer who could finish from anywhere
Prime Owen vs Prime Fowler
Owen all day long!
He was faster than robbie and theres no substitute for pace.
Owen was miles better , both were available for England selection, which one won the ballon d or
Owen was way better than Fowler,no one wins the balon 'D by fluke
Fowler was in his prime when Andy Cole was banging in 40 goals a season and couldn't even make the England team. Les Ferdinand, Shearer, Sutton, Sheringham, Collymore, Le Tissier and Fowler were all competing for the England number 9 shirt. Ridiculous talent up front in that Era. Cantona was on top of his game in the premier league and couldn't get a Ballon d'or as Ronaldo and Rivaldo were in their prime. Realistically Owen's Ballon d'or was in large part achieved due to the goal he scored against Argentina years before.
Fowler was a miles better goal scorer and a more talented footballer. Owen was an absolute freak athlete and great finisher. Fowler in his prime was genius. Owen in his prime was a Speed merchant/predator.
Fowler and Owen were very different in terms of attributes, but both top class. Both of them had injuries which scuppered things big time.
Two totally different players. For counter attacking then Owen had more pace so would be better fit & that’s what Houllier wanted. For pure ability to finish then you’d pick fowler out of the two to be in current LFC side.
As for who did the manager pick - same one that picked Diouf over Anelka so his judgement wasn’t always spot on
Owen won ballon dor and reached his full potential before the injuries imo. Fowler had a god given talent and could have been the best striker in the world but was a bit of a party boy
Owen has become a bit of a comedy figure but he was absolutely electric
Michael “MR ENGLAND” Owen
Robbie “GOD” Fowler
It’s not even a choice.
People prefer Robbie because he's more honest
People talk so much h about fowler but he wasn’t starter for Liverpool, he wasn’t starter for England.
Fowler was God. His chemistry with Steve McManaman was SPEZIAL
I’m 37 and have been a Liverpool fan all my life. I loved fowler as a kid. My eldest son is called Robbie. I don’t get however why fowler and Owen are even entertaining this question of who was better. They never peaked at the same time so they arnt really comparable. Naughty of Owen to say who did manager pick, that was down to style of play. One thing fowler never did though was play for that rabble down the road. As a Liverpool fan fowler gets the love. As for who was better…. Loved em both when they were scoring for the reds. One final point Rafa brought fowler back but not Owen… so who did the manager pick then micheal?
Imagine Owen and Gary Barlow in the same room. F*ck me 😴
His stats from 1997-2004 are seriously impressive if you do some digging.
Two time Golden Boot winner by the age of 19 years-old. Nobody has achieved this before.
40 goals for England by 26 years-old. Nobody has achieved this before.
Won the Ballon D’Or.
Henry, Keane, Beckham, Gerrard, Scholes, Vieria, Lampard, Rooney… the list goes on.
None of these players ever won one and yet all are widely considered Premier League all time greats.
Owen’s stats back it up. He also has a better goals-to-game ratio than Fowler.
He has big Ego! He didn’t wanna talk about who’s better But after he heard fowler interview he got sensitive and offended couldn’t resist to respond.
Robbie Fowler at his peak would get into any team. Michael Owen at his peak would get into most teams. Fowler at his peak was unplayable,he had everything. Owen had two things, pace and self belief.
Fowler is “God” and I’m more fond of him as a Liverpool legend. However, when Owen was on form he was unplayable and was so clinical! I’d take prime Owen over Fowler!
LOL!!! Michael Owen is *DELUSIONAL* if he genuinely believes he was better than Robbie Fowler. 😄😆😂🤣
Owen needs to stop saying Brendan signed David N'gog lol Rafa signed him
The manager is one man, ask the fans who they think was the best. Fowler was the man thats why we called him God.
As a Liverpool fan I unfortunately didn’t see Fowler or Owen in their primes, the guy I saw in his prime was Gerrard as I grew up during the Benitez era of Liverpool.
However watching clips of Fowler and Owen, Fowler was the more clinical of the two, but Owen was the more talented of the two. It’s just a shame Owen was past his prime by aged 25. 18 to 24 was Owen’s prime.
It’s also a shame how much Owen has ruined his legacy, by leaving Liverpool in the first place, going to United in 2009, his horrible commentary on TV, and his bizarre statements and falling outs.
Fowler didn’t ruin his legacy though, but like Owen, Fowler had a short prime.
Also why did Fowler never have a proper England career?.
Fowler and Sheerer should’ve been the main two up front at the time for the 1996 Euros, maybe we would’ve actually won it that year.
I’m a lifelong red and Owen is still a legend to me. It doesn’t bother me one little bit that he went to Utd. He wanted to come back to Liverpool and we didn’t take him.
Shearer and Fowler pretty much played the same position at the time.Usually within the 442 formation one forward was the main goalscorer and the other forward facilitated this by hold up play, good passing and creativity as examples. At this time Sheringham was the number 10 most of the time.
'but Owen was the more talented of the two' ...you what?
@@BelpassoOilandWineCo which I think is true. It’s just Owen had past it by 25.
Owen’s prime was better than Fowler’s prime, as Owen was better on the eye to watch, It’s just Fowler was a more clinical finisher.
Also KDB was a huge Owen fan as young kid.
@@nu-metalfan2654 You’ve never watched Fowler and Owen play football if you seriously believe Owen was better than Fowler in their primes.
Liverpool never won anything when Fowler was the main man , at least they had some success when Owen was the main man.Fowler wasn't good enough to have a full england career, Owen was.Fowler may have had more variety and skill to his game but Owen was a more effective and impactful player.
Slightly off topic but in regard to Liverpool strikers, Rushie never seems to get the credit he deserves, rarely hear him mentioned anywhere...the man scored 346 goals!
Liverpool have had some amazing strikers, but THE best? Has to be prime Suarez, when he was really hungry 😉
Yeah Rushie by far the best, but most on here are way too young to remember him
Good answer Michael even i think Fowler was a more technical player but you had the speed so i don't know why you two did not make a better partnership
One was a Ballon d’Or winning global super⭐️
One was a local hero.
Hmmm I wonder which was better🤔
