West Ham 0-1 Everton: What Moyes said

West Ham boss David Moyes speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Very close game, but I expected it. Everton on the road are much better than they are at home this season and they proved it. Tough to break down, a goal whoever got it might have been the difference, and they got the goal.

"We missed two or three chances but ultimately we conceded a goal. We had done enough, we missed a few opportunities and we kept knocking at the door, trying to get there, but we couldn't score.

"Huge credit to Everton for the way they defended the box brilliantly well. They didn't give us much room and, when we did get room, their goalkeeper [Jordan Pickford] might have made a save. So we also have to come up with a bit more creativity and a bit more sort of guile. We had two or three chances to score and we didn't take them.

"I think this is the first game that we haven't scored in, so maybe we haven't been flowing but we have been scoring. We need to score more, we need to create more, and we've talked about that with the players. We're just not making those opportunities that we were making in the early part of the season."

On the fixture congestion: "I'm not going to make any excuses, that's for sure, because we've done it for the last two years. But I've said many times, and it's difficult to explain, when you play Thursday-Sunday it's not an easy schedule. We've got it, we're really pleased we've got it. We've won some games after coming back on Thursday, and we've lost some games on a Sunday."

On Bill Kenwright: "We were devastated to hear of Bill [Kenwright's] passing. He was such a big supporter of Everton and everything he did there was for the best of the club. He'll be someone I miss, he was very good for me in my career."
