Marco Silva described Fulham\u2019s performance as utter perfection while David Moyes blamed this defeat on West Ham using up all of their energy in the midweek win over Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Moyes has now lost 238 games as a Premier League manager \u2013 the most in the competition\u2019s history, level with Harry Redknapp \u2013 and this was one of his worst days.<\/p>\n
While Moyes hid behind West Ham\u2019s hectic schedule, Silva heaped his players with praise. \u2018It was a brilliant performance from us,\u2019 said Fulham’s boss. \u2018A great one, really, no doubts about the best team on the pitch.<\/p>\n
‘Not just because we won 5-0 but the way we performed. The players understood the plan so well. The way we can punish them, the way we can take the ball from them and control the game on the ball. We did it.<\/p>\n
‘It looks easy but it is not easy. We expressed ourselves, to create chances, to score goals, and the way we did it was almost a perfect afternoon for us. We gave almost nothing to them.<\/p>\n

David Moyes bemoaned the fixture schedule and asked why West Ham had to play on Thursday<\/p>\n

\u2018We controlled well and it is not easy to control a team like West Ham with Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Paqueta, Tomas Soucek arriving in the box. The players did it so, so perfect. It\u2019s so difficult to win 1-0 or 2-1 in the Premier League. Imagine when you win with this score.\u2019<\/p>\n
Moyes was asked what was behind this defeat and West Ham’s manager said: \u2018The carry over from the game. We used up too much energy in midweek. We weren\u2019t able to get ourselves back. It is disappointing. But we\u2019ve had two difficult away games this week. Three points from the two games is not a bad return.’<\/p>\n
Complaining further about that trip to Tottenham, Moyes continued: \u2018We could have easily had our game on the Wednesday, couldn\u2019t we? And we didn\u2019t. We had it on the Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019m struggling to do it with the time. We can\u2019t do it with the scheduling we\u2019ve got. Lucas Paqueta\u2019s been carrying a bit of an injury. There\u2019s been illness in the camp.\u2019<\/p>\n
West Ham face Freiburg this Thursday and then Wolves on Sunday, both at the London Stadium.<\/p>\n
