West Ham hero Alan Devonshipe really hopes Michail Antonio gets his England chance tonight but has his dounts.The former legendary midfielder said: “I am really pleased for Michail Antonio being called-up by England for the first time. With the way he has played for West Ham this year, I think he deserves it.
It’s probably a bit like what happened to me in my career in that sometimes the higher up you go in football, you find it a little bit easier, believe it or not. I think he’s one of them and I’m pleased for him.
I think he’s definitely an attacking wide player, rather than a full-back. I know he has played at full-back a few times, but he is more of a powerhouse who gets up and down the wing and scores goals.
It’s a novelty if you can score goals attacking the ball at the far post these days. I wish him luck . It’s now up to the manager.
I don’t think he will play in the first game on Sunday, as I think Sam has probably just brought him along in the squad to have a look at him and see how he settles into the international environment.”
Bang on dev ! 🙂
