David Moyes spoke to West ham TV after the 2-0 defeat to Leicester city at home. He said
“We played well enough to win, never mind lose“.
“But our Achilles heel at the moment is that our play is not bad and we’re threatening, but we’re not able to take the chances we’re getting and all the opportunities we’re getting.
Then, there have been lapses of concentration. We had one last week. But last week, I could see we didn’t play well, but today we did play well. Today, we did a lot of good things, but the main moments, whether it be the finishing, or whether it be the moments where we gave Leicester opportunities, we didn’t quite do as well.”
“Of course, it hurts because you care and you want to win”.
“Look, we’ve got a great bunch and the one thing today was that the players ran their you know what’s off and did everything they possibly could to try and win the game, and I said that to them.
I’ve said: ‘Your effort and your commitment, that’s why us why, in the main, we were really pleased with what you’ve done’ because you gave 100 per cent all the way’.
But obviously we were lacking in the in the bit which really matters and that’s the goal scoring”.
“We’ve had an awful lot of good success in the last couple of years.“
“We’ve got to a semi-final in Europe, we won a couple of groups we’ve been in this year and last year.
We’ve had a great run in the Premier League in the last two years, so at the moment we’re having a bit of a blip, we know what, and we need to find a way of getting that changed over and turn that round.
There has been a lot of stuff here at West Ham over the last two years which has been good and a lot of people won’t have seen teams challenging up near the top as often and we want to do it again – and we know that’s why everybody’s disappointed with where we are just now.”
“We will be working over the next six weeks to put things right, but we will also be taking a break because that’s what it’s for.“
“I put an awful lot of hours in and I work hard at the Club. We do everything we can and we will be doing the same during this break”.
