David Moyes has no complaints as West Ham fall to poor defeat against Brentford

Matt Verri10 April 2022

David Moyes admitted his West Ham side deserved nothing as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Brentford in the Premier League.

Bryan Mbeumo and Ivan Toney scored in the second-half, with the Hammers managing just a single shot on target in the entire 90 minutes.

West Ham came into the match off the back of a tough 1-1 draw against Lyon in the Europa League and have the second-leg to come on Thursday, and they will have to put in a much better performance in France than they managed at the Brentford Community Stadium.

“No I don’t have any complaints, we weren’t at it from the start,” Moyes told BBC Sport.

“There are mitigating circumstances, we had a tough game on Thursday and the Thursday-Sunday schedule is not ideal. The most part has been good but today felt like one too many.

“I said to the lads I don’t remember giving anything of quality for their goalkeeper to do. That is not like us but it wasn’t to be today.

“It was a big opportunity today for us to get three points. We had to come here to get a result but Premier League games are hard. If anything, this weekend showed it.”
