Jose Mourinho said back in January: "No, we have no interest in Michael Owen, he is not the player he used to be".
And since that date the former England striker has done nothing to prove Mourinho wrong.
Against Spurs he looked a shadow of past glories.
Is he wanting to get away? Has he no heart for a fight anymore? Or just plain and simple ... past it?
Whatever, he is no longer a player we can rely on in times of trouble.
