Maybe he didn’t need to call anybody out publicly because that clearly happened at half time when Arthur Masuaku was subbed for Aaron Cresswell. The manager was obviously in no mood to stomach […]

Half Time 0-3 No surprises then. The ultra cynical finishing of the champions was all too much for the Irons with goals from Silva, Steling and Sane leaving us with a seemingly hopeless task yet the Hammers had more than their moments and were often as threatening as City.
