No news about the riot cop who pushed one of ours down a flight of concrete stairs backwards I note.
If it was the other way around it would make the main news.
No wonder people get riled.

Re: ⚽ Manchester Utd vs West Ham Utd: match thread
My take on the goal having over analysed it...
It starts with us in possession, there are less than 60 seconds of injury time left and Fredericks goes bombing forward, way past Bowen, even up past Antonio and level with Man Utds last man. There was no need for him to do that.
Lanzini rightly decides not to try and hit Fredericks with a pass and instead turns inside and plays a soft ball back to Dawson putting him under pressure with Ronaldo just yards away from him. Lanzini could have rolled it across towards Rice and Cresswell who both had more space (has to be said that Rice didn't really show for it either) or just held on to it and drawn Martial closer.
Dawson then panics and lumps it up to Bowen. Bowen's touch let's him down, he has his pocket picked and Fredericks by this point is trying to get back but in a massive no mans land.
Fredericks is then unfortunate that the ball forward is just too high for him, his flick actually sends it perfectly to Ronaldo, but then he is drawn to Ronaldo and tries to make a slide tackle leaving both Martial and Cavani totally unmarked and clean through. This is critical. If he runs a straight line with Martial and Cavani, they do not have such and easy walk in.
From that point on we are over stretched. Cresswell should be experienced enough not to drop so deep and play Cavani offside, he then appeals for offside (which it absolutely is not by the way) as opposed to tracking Rashford, loses his man and allows the tap in.
It is poor all round from us. Absolutely kamikaze stuff when we are that close to a point and they have throw so many attackers on.

Moyes was lamenting the number of late goals we have given away. But surely that's on him if it keep happening.
