He said:"Michael Owen has scored a few since that game in Valencia, now he is in very good order and is very sharp.
"The three he scored last week in Moscow shows he is back to his very best and any team would be right to fear him now.
"He was playing well earlier in the season but the goals were just not going in, but he was playing superbly.
"But now those shots are going in, he's scoring goal after goal and we all hope and believe that will continue against Valencia."
