Michail Antonio has had his share of criticism this season but is again showing the sort of form that has made him a huge favourite with the the claret and blue army.
Injury has played a big part in his problems during the first half of the season but Manuel Pellegrini has been calling on him more and more recently.
And it will come as no surprise to see him included in the starting X1 for the match against AFC Wumbledon tomorrow and again against Wolves on Tuesday.
With games coming thick and fast again Antonio at full power is a player that can be counted on again to give his utmost.
Fabian Balbuena has no doubt about the player’s stamina and resolution and in a question and answer session on www.whufc.com explained: “”Michail Antonio is the strongest in our squad, he’s very strong.”
He’s not wrong given what we’ve seen as the player has recovered from injury and any thoughts of a move have long gone.
Balbuena was also asked who was the hairiest player, and if he thought a boy would ever be born who could swim faster than a shark.
Well now that Antonio has got that sorted perhaps he could a bit less pumping the iron and concentrate on his shooting skills ie trying to keep the ball inside the wooden frame instead of over it!!
