Allardyce has no complaints after West Ham defeat at Man Utd

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce had no complaints about their 3-1 defeat at Manchester United.

West Ham remain outside the relegation zone, but only thanks to the deficiencies of others, and could be in for a very tough season unless boss Sam Allardyce can spark some significant improvement.

"It was the right result," said Allardyce.

"I can't complain about that because our performance in the first half was not good enough.

"We are not in a very good position and we are all concerned with that, owners included.

"You need your best players fit and at the moment we are missing them.

"It's a difficult task for us now and it will be a long haul in terms of digging ourselves out."

Allardyce will hunt for additions in January, as will Moyes, although the United boss is not convinced he will get them.

He said: "We'll look but I wouldn't turn around and say we're massively sure we'll get them because a lot of the players we'd be interested in won't be available in January."
