Antonio thinks Southgate is 'taking the mick' out of his West Ham teammate Ward-Prowse after he was left out of the latest England squad.
Michail Antonio thinks Gareth Southgate is “taking the mick” out of his West Ham teammate James Ward-Prowse after he was left out of the latest England squad.He has provided five goal contributions in seven Premier League appearances and has also made three assists in two matches in the Europa League.
“It’s embarrassing. The stats he has, everything he’s been doing, he’s been playing week-in, week-out – for years.“I respect the players that are going there are quality, but if you’re not playing, you shouldn’t be going to international football.”When reminded of Southgate’s previous comments about only picking players who regularly play first-team football, Antonio added: “He said that when he first went in. That’s what he said when he first went in.
“But why I don’t like it is – when you’re playing your best, when you’re doing well, you should be rewarded. That’s what I believe in. And being rewarded – that is England.Antonio continued: “So, James Ward-Prowse has been unbelieveable for us, and his stats speak for themself.
