Yes, Coloccini had a dip in form, didn't he? And he was dropped for Edgar at Stoke.
Ameobi had a shit game at Stoke and he hasn't figured since, wasn't even on voyage yesterday.
Do you see why people don't agree? Owen is still living off that late-season surge under Keegan. It's fair enough to say players have a dip in form - but we can't afford to accomodate it at the moment. We're on a knife edge and can't afford to carry passengers.
I agree with you that he isn't finished btw, just find it baffling how you think he'll find some form. He won't, not this season.
