"I am a fan of [Olivier] Giroud but I am not sure he should be playing this game," Owen said.
"He is the type of striker that Lincoln come up against all the time, the big target man in their league."I would have played a smaller, quicker player, maybe Alexis [Sanchez] up front, or [Alex] Iwobi out wide, or play [Mesut] Ozil, something like that." Giroud ultimately scored his side's second of the game but, before that, Owen seemed to have a change of heart and claimed that Giroud actually wasn't a traditional big target man.
"He's a big man but he doesn't play a big man's game, he doesn't knock people about, he's more into flicks and touches and getting into the box as opposed to being a big target man."The contradiction didn't go unnoticed. https://twitter.com/AJ_909/status/840631180596768768 https://twitter.com/Highsbury/status/840631359685218304 https://twitter.com/Futbol_Agent_/status/840631608520638464 https://twitter.com/Razza1595/status/840632172994273280 https://twitter.com/Povey34/status/840631641257181184 https://twitter.com/Longmurda/status/840631687428112384 https://twitter.com/LeweyButton/status/840632128303972353 https://twitter.com/FromTStands/status/840635916158918656
