Asked if his selection had left him open to criticism, Moyes replied: \u2018It\u2019s a pretty cheap question to ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We have had the quickest turnaround of any team in the Premier League. The only teams who have played more in the last few years are Liverpool and Manchester City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I don\u2019t rotate very often. Tonight was about how good Liverpool were. If you\u2019re going to talk about rotation, talk about the amount of games we\u2019ve played.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve been here lots of times, been beaten lots of times, but tonight I thought, \u201cMy goodness, how many more will they get?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019ve won seven out of the last nine. Don\u2019t forget how well we\u2019ve been doing. What do you expect from West Ham? Would you expect us to win a European trophy? Be challenging for the Champions League?\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We\u2019ve been doing well for what we are. We keep trying to win the games, to challenge the top teams, and we will try to win cups when we get the opportunity. \u2018Tonight was a tough game for us.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
