Moyes disappointed with West Ham performance in loss to Rangers

West Ham United manager David Moyes was disappointed with his side's 3-1 loss to Rangers at Ibrox on Tuesday.

The Hammers were outclassed by their Scottish opponents in the preseason friendly.

Tom Lawrence, Ryan Kent and Rabbi Matondo scored for Rangers, while Tomas Soucek grabbed a consolation for the visitors.

Speaking to the club website after the game, Moyes said: "Look, it was always going to be a difficult game, there's no doubt about that, but I'm disappointed with a lot of elements of the game and things that we did.

"Rangers looked better, quicker, sharper tonight. I think they looked sharper in their head as much as anything and they played better than we did.

"We were slow to press, slow in our decision making, so I didn't see it as being a good team performance at all tonight.

"They're a good side, but I thought the goals showed the other side to us too.

"It's not like us to defend the way we did, but that wasn't the main reason. We didn't show enough attacking purpose and when we had a couple of half-chances we didn't take them.

"Look, it's a pre-season game, so hopefully we can get it out of the way and move on."
