Doyle tips Jarvis for England call

05 November 2010 14:09
Kevin Doyle believes Wolves winger Matt Jarvis is "playing well enough" to earn an England call-up for the friendly international with France.[LNB] And Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has reiterated that the 24-year-old, who recently signed a new five year contract, "isn't going anywhere".[LNB]Jarvis has impressed with his performances against Chelsea, Manchester United - in the Carling Cup - and Manchester City in successive matches.[LNB]Doyle said: "Jarvo is playing well enough to get the call-up from England.[LNB]"He is as good as that at the moment. He deserves it. I can't remember the last time a Wolves player got called up.[LNB]"Not only on the pitch, but off the pitch, he does everything right.[LNB]"Physically he looks after himself brilliantly and he is always trying to improve.[LNB]"It would be a just reward if he gets a call-up. I see him play for us every week and he has been excellent."[LNB]McCarthy said: "Matt is playing as well as he has ever done. He's causing problems to anybody who he plays against, whether on the right or left.[LNB]"He gave Ashley Cole as good a game as he has had, caused Gary Neville and Wes Brown problems and the same with Micah Richards.[LNB]"I don't think anyone is enjoying playing against him.[LNB]"I get asked if I am worried about keeping Matt and the answer is 'no, not really,' because he has just signed a new five-year deal.[LNB]"We all know that gives you a little bit of protection in terms of the price but he isn't going anywhere.[LNB]"If we are doing well, there will be no desire to leave if one of the big boys come in for anybody."[LNB]Doyle feels Wolves will start to pose a problem to teams on both flanks now that Stephen Hunt has recovered from his long term foot injury.[LNB]He made his first Premier League start for Wolves in the 2-1 win over Manchester City and will look to make a similar impact against Manchester United at Old Trafford tomorrow.[LNB]Doyle said: "Hunty has been out for a while so it is going to be tough but adrenalin gets you through.[LNB]"He played most of the Carling Cup game against Man Utd and a lot of the Man City game and that will have been beneficial for him.[LNB]"I knew him at Reading and he was a key player for them - and Hull - and he can be a key player for us when he is fit and sharp.[LNB]"If we can get him and Jarvo on fire it will be a big boost.[LNB]"Like I said, Jarvo is playing well and once Hunty gets fit and sharp on the other wing, we will be frightening a good few teams."[LNB]Doyle is hoping Wolves' win over Manchester City can kick-start their season in the same way as the surprise win at Tottenham during the last campaign.[LNB]He said: "The Man City win was similar to what happened with Tottenham in that no-one expected it. We went on a run after that and sometimes things happen when you least expect it.[LNB]"We've got another tough game against Manchester United and it will be nice to do something similar.[LNB]"Your confidence does take a knock when you have a bad run. There is only so long you can keep going saying 'we played well and got beat'.[LNB]"Last weekend's win was a massive boost for us and it surprised a few people.[LNB]"It didn't surprise us but it was still a big confidence shot for us."
