West Ham boss David Moyes explained his halftime changes in their FA Cup defeat at Manchester United.
West Ham dug in to limit the Red Devils' opportunities, despite twice having to reshuffle their back-line due to injuries suffered by Angelo Ogbonna and Issa Diop during the contest, and Moyes was happy with the attitude they showed.
“The boys did a great job," he explained. “We didn't perform particularly well in the first half, but we did perform well as it went on.
“We came up against injuries and different things which made us change and I just hope they don't have a lasting effect on us.
“Angelo had an ankle injury, Issa got a bump on the head and we felt the right thing to do was change him.
“It was a case of trying to change the system and look for different things at half-time, which wasn't easy.
“I feel that the result is a bit harsh. I don't think we deserved to lose the game, I think we warranted the chance to go to penalty kicks for the work the players they put in.
