It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

West Ham fought their way to a 0-0 draw with Man United in a terrible game at the London Stadium on Thursday night, and fans were fuming at another poor display from Cheikhou Kouyaté.

A point might be seen as a good result against the team that finished runner-up in the Premier League, but the manner of the performance would have caused consternation.

To be fair, both teams set themselves out for the draw and United fans might arguably be even more upset, but West Ham fans feared the worst when David Moyes put out a defensive line-up.

And they weren't happy at all at the performance of defensive midfielder Kouyaté.

He's been heavily criticised for his displays all season, and he put in another bad shift last night, although some fans thought he played better than Paul Pogba.

The 28-year-old, reported to be on £60,000-a-week, put himself about but failed to make any sort of impact in the middle of the pitch.

Here are the best reactions from West Ham fans to Kouyate at the London Stadium last night:

I think it's between Lanzini & Arnie we need someone & Mario is growing into that role. Shame just as he's starting to look a player he'll be gone. Can't fault the players tonight other than Kouyate. Concentrated, put a shift in but again, tactics too negative against a poor Utd
