It was deliberate, but it wasn’t anything, just unlucky with the elbow.

No foul for me.
A deliberate act that causes injury on an opponent has to be 'unlucky' ie yellow or red card for the perpetrator not the one on the receiving end!!!! Stupid otherwise!!
 
????
it wasn’t even a foul - surprised you didn’t mention the Cresswell tackle on Henderson ?

soft free kick against Salah but what a lovely strike straight into top bins



He is awful when he gets “excited” and it gets screechy
Hahaha... comedy gold.... deliberate act causing injury is not a foul. You must have dust-bin lid sized blinkers. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

yes he deliberatly jumped up and turned his back to the player to ensure he didn’t get hit with the ball ????

So player 'deliberately jumped up and turned his back' causing injury to the player & that's considered, 'just bad luck'!!!! Best you stick to hockey, me thinks.

The deliberate turning of his back to protect himself isn’t the issue. If there’s a question on his actions it’s why his elbow came backwards and upwards in to the defenders face.

Both could be down to 10 as the Cresswell challenge was a definite red.:mad:

It was the 'deliberate jump' into the player that I have an issue with as he had no chance of winning the ball & could easily have not made that jump...... was his choice & should have been punished for it IMO.

He had a defender coming towards him, he realised he wasn’t going to win the ball and instead of being flattened, he turned his back (no different to pulling out of a tackle) to protect himself and his elbow went backwards and upwards in to the defenders face.
 
West Ham are a very solid unit with a great outlet in Antonio - exactly how Moyes used to set up his Everton team. Going to be tough for any team to get anything from them

How droll

Amazingly you have said nothing about the Cresswell challenge ?
 
It’s what West Ham deserve been the far better side since the equaliser - poor performance today. Very flat
 
I bet Man Utd fans wished they still had Moyes in charge, what a job he’s done at West Ham ?

They have been superb in this game and certainly going to be challenging for the CL spots this season

How true

Hahaha... sorted that for you.
I haven't mentioned Cresswell 'cos he wasn't involved in the incident in question. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: but true enough both sides could have been down to 10 men.
