"The two players and the manager travelled to the ground with the squad, I'm told, in two or three separate coaches. They say they all social distanced, the squad, from when they met up and throughout the journey.
They arrived [at London Stadium] at 18:15 which is when the teams are put in - Josh Cullen and Issa Diop were in that team - but as soon as they arrived the results from the tests done yesterday came through and the two players and the manager were isolated immediately in separate rooms and left the ground very quickly, I'm told.
West Ham say they are satisfied nobody else in the squad needs to self isolate - and that is why the game has gone ahead."

so..those 3 were all in a coach on their own then, wow that's lucky. Now what about all the team members those 3 have had contact with in the last 5 or so days, plus of course all of the Arsenal players.
From Sam Inkersole - Right, as I understand it. The rest of the squad are allowed to play because they have all returned negative tests. Social distancing and other protocols put in place between test and results to make sure there is no spread. Only the two players and Moyes need to isolate.
The kid who has replaced him looks all over the place
3-1
I am pretty sure that Longelo plays up front for the U23s, so bringing him on at fullback seemed strange to me
EDIT: apparently he's a left winger / fullback. Either he was converted, I am confusing him with his brother Rosaire who left for I think Newcastle a while back, or I just made an error
I'm confused. They are saying in the commentary that Lanzini has been poor. I've read on here that he's been good.
I listened to the first half, and the commentators on Talksport thought he was poor, and then I watched until 70 when my stream died, and I thought he'd done very little, personally.

Phew, what a relief
Although based on that logic, Fornals will always be in the team as every team seems to have more pace than us.
KICK-OFF
West Ham 2-2 Hull
Back under way at the London Stadium.
Just saw that on the BBC and thought what the hell did I miss!
Atrocious IMO.
West Ham also offered tests to Hull who said no.
Hope he’s alright
Big future
