David Moyes is shocked by the Football Association’s decision to charge Manuel Lanzini for diving.
“I am a bit surprised because of the incident in the game,” Moyes said. “The referee was 10 yards from the ball with nothing blocking his vision.
“It is clear to see the defender makes an attempt to go for the ball and doesn’t get it. From my point of view, they are going against the referee, whoever the panel were.”
Lanzini is now set to be suspended for West Ham’s Carabao Cup quarterfinal against Arsenal on Tuesday, as well their crunch basement battle with Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday.
On whether West Ham will appeal, Moyes said: “We are going to have a talk about it this afternoon and decide what we are going to do. We will look at it.”
