Newcastle United’s Callum Wilson has accused West Ham’s Michail Antonio of being too scared to show his face after the Hammers suffered a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool.
The pair, who present ‘The Footballer’s Football’ podcast usually appear together on the show but Antonio was absent this week, and Wilson didn’t waste any time in mocking his rival.
Antonio shocked listeners after he claimed prior to his team’s match-up against Liverpool that West Ham would finish the season above the Reds.
However, after losing 3-1, despite taking the lead, the forward’s prediction looks to have suffered a major blow.
“Where’s Michail? Has he run away after his shambles of a performance?” Wilson said on the podcast.
“If he’d have said that statement and [West Ham] had gone and beat Liverpool, Michail would be sitting here tonight under any circumstances.
“The fact he made that prediction, had no goals, assists or shots on target, no aerial duels won, lost the ball 10 times, played 75 minutes before being dragged, for me personally, I wouldn’t show my face either.”
Savage.
Antonio was crap. In the last 15 to 20 minutes he was on the pitch his head was down, didn’t run for anything, didn’t press, in fact he was awful. Why Moyes is frightened of bringing on the youngsters I just don’t know. How are they going to get experience if they don’t play. They need to get shot of both Ings and Antonio in the January window and bring in 2 class strikers. In the meantime play the youngsters and Moyes, don’t play Kudus out of position for heavens sake.
