West Ham United vs Manchester United: Premier League – Live! | Soccer

53 min Ashley Young, one of the few United players to be flawless, really tries to get the team forward. His long throw is perfectly resumed on the chest by Fellaini, who turns to launch a cross shot near the far post.

51 min "As a fan of Liverpool, I can not say I do not appreciate United's difficulties," Niall Mullen said. "But part of the apocalyptic reaction is a bit important. Contact me when your manager sells Peter Beardsley and Steve Staunton and replaces them by Nigel Clough and Julian Dicks.

Nobody has room for criminal experience nowadays.

50 min West Ham just sits down and tries to hit United during the break. Felipe Anderson leads a counter-attack and passes a long pass to Arnautovic, who beats a half-volley into orbit from the edge of the box.

49 min "Woodward loved the last two managers but as soon as it turned out they did not get a top-four place, they left," said Paul Fitzgerald. "I think this result will be what will do the most for Mourinho."

Normally, I agree, but things tend to escalate quickly with Jose.

47 min "How long has Mourinho left?" Says Ben Hendy. "Not only at United but at the first club football table? Who would use it next? I remember reading an article, maybe about the Guardian, but where I found it, I still have not found it, namely that in almost all cases, leaders can only stay at the top for a decade. Leaders like Fergie or, in other sports, Belichick, are the exception. Most people can not follow the evolution of the game and it seems that the game has left Jose, just like Wenger before him. I guess the fact is that someone else can find this article that I have not managed to find. "

Enter? But yes, on this theme, it will be fascinating to see where Guardiola is at 60 years old.

46 min Peep Peep! West Ham starts the second half. Manchester United came back 2-0 away to win twice under Mourinho. We'll see soon if they can do it again.

Part-time chit-cat

"It seems to me that United plays with patience and is actually a bit unlucky not to be ahead – offside goal, punt, call for a decent penalty, the home team is already wasting time- ah, and quite comfortable West Ham Hit a second! Says Duncan Edwards. "There is no doubt in my mind that United was the best – there must be something wrong with me! I am sure that will be the case. "

"I can not imagine that too many phrases used in MBM have more resonance with readership than" misanthropic skeptics on raves, "says Matt Dony." It makes me feel 19 years old again … "

Peep Peep! West Ham deserves to be ahead of a Manchester United player, who played as a team while waiting for a new manager.

It's definitely a personal goal. Anderson's left corner found the Diop trivialized, which made a complete mess of a free head. The bullet hit his shoulder and fell on Yarmolenko beyond the far post. He placed the ball in the left wing on his left foot and struck a high shot past the far post, which resulted in Lindelof's fat pass to the side!

Yarmolenko's shot takes a huge deflection and West Ham is 2-0!

42 min Felipe Anderson cuts the field and plays the ball at Arnautovic, who just hit his return pass. If it had been a little sweeter, Anderson would have gone through.

41 min Obiang takes himself for Arie Haan and fires 30 meters. No.

39 min "As you say, we can defend a lot," says Manoj Joseph. "Unfortunately, I can not manage much when I try to argue that Mourinho improved United. Maybe someone else could do it, but the well that I used to defend Mourinho 's time in United has become dry.

Well, he won two trophies and finished second; it is a clear improvement. But this season, they have regressed dramatically.

38 min The long shot from Pogba takes a turn and turns into a corner. The Shaw striker is greeted by Lukaku, whose recovery is deflected behind for a second turn. When this happens in the area, Masuakua facilitates McTominay on the web. It was a risky challenge – he puts it in his hands – but probably not enough for a penalty. José Mourinho is not in agreement.

35 min Pogbawatch: 6/10. Nothing to report. One or two good pieces of skill and strength, a good pass crossfield.

34 min Anderson pulls the short corner to Noble, retrieves it and centers for Yarmolenko at the edge of the area. He knocks a volley of pinballs around the area before being released.

33 min The center of Noble to Arnautovic is threatened by Smalling.

30 minutes United now dominates the possession of the ball, although their preparation work remains extremely slow. They play with all the dynamism and the joy of living sober misanthropes in a rave.

28 min "Enough, Mourinho has to leave," says Manoj Joseph. "Football is tasteless, the atmosphere around the club is catastrophic and the results are pathetic. It's as serious as it is today. Any capable manager should be able to ensure that a team is up to its potential with a sufficient amount of time, while an excellent manager makes sure that the team plays more than the sum of its parts. Given the time and support of Mourinho, one could even say that his time at United was worse than Moyes'.

Well yes, but you can defend many things.

27 min The center of Shaw is not cleared by Diop, who falls on the six-meter line. The ball falls well for Lukaku, who is about to shoot when the horizontal Diop stretches his left leg to deflect the ball.

25 min Manchester United returns in this match, Ashley Young looks dangerous on the right. I'm not sure that Felipe Anderson is the most enthusiastic follow-up.

23 min: Lukaku hits the post! It was a good gesture from United. McTominay made an excellent pass to Young, who wrapped a dangerous first-post center. Lukaku went past Diop to pop a head coming out of the post. It was a very good effort.

20 min Lukaku was very good at beating two West Ham players on the midway line, but he had almost no support and ended up losing the ball to Diop.

18 min West Ham continues to dominate possession, with Declan Rice and Mark Noble in the forefront.

16 min The replays show that West Ham's goal was slightly offside, with Zabaleta just in front of the last player before joining Felipe Anderson. But it was so tight and almost impossible to give to the naked eye.

14 min Martial receives a return pass from Young on the right of the box, but the ball is straight out of the game. However, he begins to be very lively, which can be said more for most of his teammates.

13 min West Ham has had 78 percent possession so far.

12 min "Hello my love!" Said Adam Hirst. "The Ryder Cup will take precedence for me today, even over my own team. Maybe cycling too, but I will try to listen. Interesting that Mourinho considers Derby's match as a draw while everyone else seemed to take advantage of it as a defeat for United. Fantastic rotation. "

Yes, and I like the way he says it in a factual way, as he simply said that Christmas is December 25th.

11 min Young's center is led by Martial, six meters from the head. He was offside, that would not have counted anyway.

8 min Declan Rice is leading the game right now. Manchester United has barely been kicked, and if they do not pay attention, it could get worse.

West Ham started excellently and now they are ahead. Noble played a nice pass to free Zabaleta on the right. He went for the first time to the near post, where Felipe Anderson danced on the ball and threw it behind the goalkeeper while standing. In fact, I'm not sure there is a leg up because they were both in the air, but you know what I mean. It's such a beautiful finish, a great way to score his first goal for the club.

3 min "The first emailer of the day was hot," says Ryan Grubb. "Now that golf is a rout, I came here to talk about cultivated fleas. Thank you!"

2 min Noble wins an early right corner. It was won by Felipe Anderson and was led 10 meters by the subpress Balbuena. This was not a chance.

1 minute United plays indeed a 3-5-2, with Scott McTominay as right back.

1 minute Peep Peep! United, in his pink kit, starts the game. West Ham are in light blue and blue.

"Ah yes," said Matt Dony. "We are in Jose's final. And I will miss him when he is gone. I still miss him when he leaves. And he always leaves. I always prefer the Premier League when it's in it. I mean, I would do it hatred if he has managed a club that I support, but as a presence, it is his primary value. (I've been half supporting Madrid since McManaman left, and he's put some pressure on it, in all fairness, but to take advantage of the rainbow, you have to stand the rain.)

I would love that he turns in this round, wins the Premier League and the Champions League this season, and comes to every game wearing a trendy gray sweater, a yellow ribbon and the sly smile of Christendom. But even for an incorrigible optimist like me, it's hard to see a happy ending.

Jose speaks

"It's a week with two bad results, two draws at home. That's what it is and it's past. We now have a very tough game against a team that has had a fantastic week. They are upstairs; Fantastic investment that they made in the summer. But we believe in the work we did in the week.

"I do not want to say [it’s easier for us to play away from home] because it would be very sad if it were the reality. For some reason, I have the record of being undefeated at home for 77 Premier League matches. That's what I like to play at home, but this season our results have not been good. "

There have been famous matches between these sides over the years. Our Jacob and Daniel have chosen six of the best.

Alexis Sanchez has traveled with the team but is not even on the bench for United. There are suggestions that Scott McTominay will start in a third back. West Ham should be in the usual form 4-1-4-1 / 4-3-3.

The first email of the day!

"Your preamble seems to be aimed at non-Man Utd fans," explains Philip Brennan. And this is not for Hammers fans either, because I'm sure they prefer to know more about their team than more waste about us. So, as a fan of Man Utd, I wonder why I (or any other fan of Utd) bother me here? I would love to hear from those who do not gobble up this garbage and who would like an unbiased report on the bloody football match. "

You make a good point. I can only apologize for thinking that I was writing a live blog rather than a judicial review and that I am not able to provide an impartial report on a match that does not. has not started yet.

Arbitrator Michael Oliver.

Good afternoon. Let's start with a spoiler: Jose Mourinho will not be at Manchester United next season. You know, I know, even educated fleas know it. But even if the scenarios are clichés and we do not like a lot of central characters – did you see what Pogba did with his hair – we keep looking to see what happens next and how exactly Mourinho is killed.

Today's episode leads him to West Ham, whose fans will hardly appreciate applying Dr. Martens' sole to Manchester United. They spoiled Alex Ferguson's title challenges in 1991-92 and 1994-95 and would like to serenade Mourinho with "You'll be fired for the morning" towards the end of this match.

It's hard to call. West Ham has improved after a disastrous start, while United is better off the house this season. Whatever happens, we will look, whether it is because of the morbid fascination, the anticipation of the schadenfreude or the absence of something better to do with our stupid little lives.

Start is at 12:30.
