Declan Rice felt sick after West Ham were beaten 1-0 by Liverpool on Wednesday night, feeling like his team should have come away with something from Anfield.
Darwin Nunez scored the only goal of the game as the Reds picked up the narrow victory, but West Ham will be disappointed after missing good chances.
Jarrod Bowen saw a first half penalty saved by Alisson Becker, while Tomas Soucek missed an excellent chance to equalise at the death.
Liverpool enjoyed the lion’s share of possession and chances, but Rice was proud of his team’s performance and struggled to believes that they were heading back to London with nothing.
‘I feel sick, I honestly feel sick. We know it is tough place to come, you have to show grit, heart and desire,’ Rice told Amazon Prime.
‘There was enough in the second half to nick something from the game. We are showing signs we can compete with the big boys.
‘To show the courage we did in the second half, dominating the ball and creating chances, I’m proud of everyone.
‘I’m just gutted we couldn’t get something from the game like we should have.’
Hammers boss David Moyes echoed his captain’s thoughts and felt that they should have at least got a draw from the game.
‘We came really close to getting something, it is difficult to say sometimes if you deserve more than you’ve got but I think we did tonight,’ said Moyes.
‘We put Liverpool under pressure and created chances. We missed a penalty and didn’t score what looked like a tap-in. If we play like that we will win more than we will lose.
‘Nobody comes to Anfield and thinks it is an easy place to get a result – I know that more than anyone. But I think we ran Liverpool close.’
