Michael Owen praises Liverpool star he ‘could watch play 24 hours a day’ Michael Owen has waxed lyrical about one Liverpool star’s performance against Aston Villa and claims he will never tire of watching him play football. The Reds produced a second-half blitz on Friday to get past Villa’s team of youngsters and secure FA Cup progress. The hosts had to field their youth after a coronavirus outbreak in their first-team camp throughout the week. Nonetheless, Villa put in a spirited performance and had levelled at 1-1 before half time. Louie Barry’s goal came with Liverpool having failed to add to Sadio Mane’s fourth-minute opener. After the match, Jurgen Klopp had his say on the massive mistake Liverpool rectified at Villa Park.

Owen praises Liverpool attack

Klopp will no doubt be hoping for an injury-free second half of the season and there’s no doubting he is the one player who can truly influence games for Liverpool.

“We saw some great moves from Liverpool. You look at their team, they are all neat, small players. There’s no point playing aimless crosses; we saw great little moves from Liverpool in and around Villa’s area.”
