I wanted to try and win the game says Moyes

In the aftermath of the game on Saturday David Moyes was looking at himself and questioning whether he had been a bit too adventurous against West Brom.

It's not a question that he will have asked himself on a regular basis, as a lot of the time Moyes can be criticised for being too negative, in fact in a way, his tactical changes were both talking points on Saturday.

The early injury to Gibson caused problems, he's so influential to the balance of the side, that we do not have a like-for-like ready made replacement.

With Fellaini on such top form in previous games, Moyes opted not to drop him into a deeper role to fill the void and instead brought on Tony Hibbert and used Phil Neville.

This was seen as a bit too defensive minded for some, whilst his later substitutions, which had Mirallas coming on for Naismith and Anichebe for Neville with hindseight Moyes himself was critical of.

"I thought for the first hour we had good control, But we didn`t do well enough in the final third today and that was the reason we didn`t win. Moyes told the Echo.

He continued: "I`ve got to say West Brom defended really well, they came off the play, allowed us the ball.

"I made a change to try and win the game because I felt we were not doing enough to try to score, and in opening up we conceded a goal from it.

"I probably should have stayed as we were and maybe come away with a 0-0, but I wanted to try and win the game.
