West Ham manager David Moyes has slammed the sloppiness of his side after they fell to a 3-2 defeat against Newcastle United on Saturday.
The Hammers took the lead through Marko Arnautovic before the Magpies went on to score three goals.
Andre Ayew did manage to score in the 69th minute but Moyes side were thereafter unable to gain an equalizer. The result was Newcastle’s first win in ten games.
Meanwhile the loss puts the Hammers in 17th position on the League standings and just one place above the relegation zone.
Moyes was naturally disappointed after the game as he feels that the result could have been avoided.
“It was a game full of errors, we had them the whole game,” the Scotsman told reporters. “We could not pull it together at all. We were huffing and puffing but could not pull together anything of note though the whole game.
“We did not pass well enough out from the back when we had the chance to and, when you are in the position we are in, you cannot afford to miss penalties. We have done that twice since I have been here.
“And then we have conceded a farcical third goal. It was glaringly obvious we missed Manuel Lanzini. Whatever the result is at this time of year, the turnaround is such that you have to roll on to the next game.”
