âWeâve not quite got everything in place,â he said. âHopefully our quality will show through in the coming weeks.â
West Ham 0-2 Brighton: David Moyes âdisappointedâ after tough game
To say alarm bells were ringing would be âtoo strongâ, Moyes added. âWe finished seventh, then sixth, and we take positives from that. Weâve lost a wee bit. We need to get away from that position.
âLast year we were one of the top goalscorers. But we are struggling a bit for goals. Weâre aware we are not as free-flowing as we have been.
âI am concerned, but also Iâm having to bed people in.â
West Ham have now had 38 shots in their opening three league games without scoring a goal.

They had their chances on Sunday, but Aaron Cresswellâs fierce effort was well blocked by Joel Veltman, before Robert Sanchez produced two acrobatic saves late on to keep out two Tomas Soucek headers.
Meanwhile, Brighton have equalled their longest unbeaten run in the top flight at eight games, stretching back to the end of last season.
The Seagulls have moved up to fourth this term, while the Hammers are rooted to the foot of the table after losing their first three games without scoring for only the second time in their history.
