David Moyes has told angry West Ham fans that on-loan midfielder Kalvin Phillips needs their support, not their abuse.
Phillips' unhappy loan stint at West Ham hit a new low on Saturday after he was involved in an angry exchange with supporters following the 4-3 Premier League defeat by Newcastle.
The 28-year-old was captured apparently giving a middle-finger gesture towards fans who had criticised him as he boarded the team bus.
But Moyes refused to condemn Phillips' actions and urged the London Stadium crowd to get behind the England international.
'Kalvin's a human being and can do things which we all do at difficult times,' said the Hammers boss.
