West Ham’s Michail Antonio has been called up to manager Sam Allardyce’s first England squad while Mark Noble has been overlooked again for the World Cup qualifier in Slovakia on 4th September.
“I think he’s in outstanding form,” Allardyce told the FA website. “This is another lad with a great journey – it’s a fantastic journey that he’s been on, from non-league to now an international call-up.He scored nine goals in his first season and he’s a terrific athlete, a good crosser and a goalscorer.”
Everyone at ClaretandHugh congratulates Antonio on his call up.
England squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Southampton), Joe Hart (Manchester City), Tom Heaton (Burnley).
Defenders: Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kyle Walker (Tottenham Hotspur).
Midfielders: Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur), Michail Antonio (West Ham United), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Danny Drinkwater (Leicester City), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Liverpool), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Theo Walcott (Arsenal).
Strikers: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City).
He deserves his chance and I hope Hippo plays him,
Noble will not play for England unless there are a lot of injuries,sorry but not good enough,
Cressie will be the left back when he is fit,
Bambi will be a super sub when he wobbles back to play,
Oxford and Burke will be in the squad within 2 years,
Well done Antonio go get them
Well done Ant,defiantely deserves the call up.Other than that it’s the same sh#t that failed in the euros.Big changes eh.Hippo was going to shake the squad up & bin the rubbish from the euros.Yeah right,It was never going to happen lol
Probably found Woys last team sheet and realised he can not spell any new ones Rad,
He probably had Nolan down 3 time then realised he does not come round and mow the lawn any more,
Uncross your Bullocks Rad,
Biggins cant surly get on the pitch anymore,but now Tore is becoming an embarrassment to Slav and our club no wonder Turkey never picked him for the Europeans,
Might help if he was played on the right side and lost some weight,
OK bubs they are uncrossed lol.It is a sh*t England squad.I knew that the old failures from the euros would still be in.I read so many people say he would shake it all up & bring in a load of new faces but I knew that there wouldn’t be.Now we will just have to wait for him turn them from sh*t into a dream team lol
I ain’t bothered about Tore,he was only signed up as a squad player,once the main men are back he will be benched.Thats why it ain’t worth getting p*ssed off about him.
Defo well deserved, congratulations Michail I hope you become our first choice on the right wing COYI !!!!
