West Ham boss Moyes blames individual mistakes for Liverpool loss

David Moyes has blamed individual mistakes for West Ham United's loss to Liverpool on Monday.

The Hammers were up 2-1 before Lukasz Fabianski gifted an equaliser to Mohamed Salah, with the Pole then unable to stop Trent Alexander-Arnold from setting up Sadio Mane's winner.

Speaking after the game, Moyes told BBC Radio 5 Live: "We can take a lot of positives. Before the game nobody will have given us a great deal of hope. I thought for large periods of the game we had a chance.

"I'd hate to think my teams would do anything but put a lot of effort in and I'd be annoyed if anyone else thought otherwise. The disappointing thing is the individual mistakes. I thought tonight we did a really good job. We performed really well as a team but we go away with no points and it's the points we need.

"We wanted to be a bit more aggressive than we were against Manchester City. The games have been difficult as a coach to know the right way to go and approach the games. It's easy for people to say we have free hits but you think 'what a load of rubbish when people say that'. We've certainly got no free hits, we need to get points.

"I'm not happy with the individual mistakes and if we don't cut them out it'll cost it. You've got to take a lot of responsibility as a Premier League player. I'm not disappointed with the performance, but I'm disappointed we didn't get any points from the game."
