Looking at Shevchenko tonight, he's thirty five, still doing it for his country and still having a good career at club level. Makes you think what Michael Owen could have been had he not been a completely despicable c*nt. Could have gone to a club and carried on playing, potentially furthering his international career or possibly even his club career. Instead, as he put it, he'd rather sit on his backside at a big club than play football. What a tw*t.

I don't think he would have put it like that. I think he'll have said that being on the bench and helping Man United compete for the biggest prizes is a far better place to be than struggling to help Bolton fight against relegation. Everyone, apart from bitter scousers, would accept that.

You're only bitter because he left your precious club. Your bitterness and anger towards Owen says far more about you, and LFC, than it does about Owen.

Really? So you think it's better for a player not to play than to play? Owen wasn't helping anybody out being at United, he was far too sh*t to get a game there, but he quite happily stayed as fifth/sixth choice or whatever he was, probably on a pay-as-you-play deal, than go out there and further his career by playing and helping other clubs. He said he'd tried playing for a smaller club and it wasn't for him, conveniently forgetting how sh*t he'd become.

I'm not bothered about Owen leaving Liverpool, he gave us his best years and missed out on a CL. I just don't like him, he's a tw*t.

Few of my Liverpool fb friends seem to be using Englands first goal as some sort of salvation for their failure of a premier league season.

At least something has been done about England's right side ineffectiveness. Not sure Walcott is the answer.

Indeed. Dramatic, but utterly crap football. Again.

Can somebody explain what Ashley Young actually brings to the side??....He is rubbish, simple as. It comes to something when I'd take Downing on the left over him.

For the next game, I'd be inclined to bring Baines in on the left....I think Cole will feel more confident about moving forward and it'll shore up that left side defensively and give us a better quality of ball to Carroll.

Good job we have a top coach who knows how to change a game that's going away from us???....

Ashley Young brings the ability to dive and get a penalty and even a player sent off.
