It was a very disappointing defeat, as it came against a team in a lower competition than them. If I'm asked if they deserve this defeat, then the answer is that they do, because in the game they are not so good and even the opponent can play better than them. Maybe the red card could be the reason for their defeat in this match, but still by chance when they were still playing with 11 players in the first half they did not show anything better.
West Ham must evaluate their defeat in this match, because if this continues it will be a threat that comes from within themselves when in the Premier League.
These are cup matches and it is obvious that West Ham did not have high hopes for these tournaments, the starting line-up for this game shows us this. Moes will concentrate all his efforts on the Premier League, this is obvious, and perhaps on the EL, as far as they have enough strength, but they do not have such a high-quality bench depth to try to qualitatively participate in more than two tournaments.
