David Moyes: Unhappy with Everton¿s efforts for Chelsea¿s opening two goals

David Moyes felt that Everton gifted Chelsea their two opening goals after going down 3-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

There was nothing to choose between the sides in a competitive first 30 minutes, but Daniel Sturridge and John Terry then scored to put the Blues in total control before half-time.Ramires added a third midway through the second period before substitute Apostolos Vellios reduced Everton's arrears late on.Moyes was far from happy with his side's performance, saying: "I think we've been here to Chelsea and they've caused us more problems at times and we've had to defend harder."Today, we gave them, certainly, the first two goals. I thought our defending on the first one and second one was terrible and they didn't really have to work particularly hard."The ball didn't run awfully kindly for us a couple of times in the box."We might have needed it to run a little bit easier."The second goal was a killer because we've been 1-0 down several times coming here and we've always been in the game, given ourselves a chance."To lose a goal just before half-time made it a mountain to climb."Mata praiseMoyes was unhappy with at least one decision made by referee Mike Jones and had words with fourth official Peter Walton, but he refused to elaborate otherwise.And in a slight dig at Chelsea's riches, he added: "Maybe that £400million difference might have showed up after 15-20 minutes, eh?"The Toffees boss was effusive about Chelsea's Juan Mata, however, saying: "If he improves like David Silva's improved for Manchester City, I think they'll have a player."I think Mata's giving them a different dimension at the moment. They're more flexible, Chelsea, than they've been in the past."
