Moyes happy with performance

David Moyes is pleased with the way his players got the pre-season undeway with a win in Australia today, and believes that some of them have picked up where they left off at the end of last term.

“I thought we played well tonight against a decent side,” Moyes told the official site.

“They are a bit ahead of us in their pre-season but the players played well tonight.

“The way we passed it looked a lot like the way we were playing towards the end of last season.

“I think they are coming to see a really good Premier League team and 40,000 is a very good crowd,” he added. “I think they saw some good moves and some good football.

“Sydney had one or two opportunities as well so overall it was a good game.

“We controlled most of the game but they were a bit of a threat. They weren’t a poor team by any means, I actually think they were one of the better teams we have played in pre-season.”
