Owens job is to put the ball in the net and thats what he has done more consistantly then anyone. He thrives on service and when he gets that he scores goals. He is a big match players.

I think it good that England have got options now in the midfield. Beckham has been class this season andd any side with him in is only better but think Sven should be big enough to bring him off in games like Portugal did with Figo in Euro 2004 if he is not playing well.

With regards to Gerrard I like to think on the biggest stage at the World Cup he can be England big match player and work well with Lampard, they are both class players and playing more games together will hopefuuly see them play well together.
