Everton boss David Moyes admits his squad are beginning to feel the heat of playing a gruelling schedule of European matches and Premier League games.[LNB]Moyes saw his injury-hit outfit lose 2-0 at home to Benfica on Thursday in their latest Europa League game.[LNB]He said: "Regrets? I have tried not to have any regrets about it (playing in Europe).[LNB]"But the more and more games you play in it, the more and more times you realise that some other managers have talked a lot of sense about the number of games in the Europa League.[LNB]"With the squads we have got, us particularly, it is very difficult to win Premier League games when you have got so many midweek games.[LNB]"The word rotation gets used to make sure everyone is as fresh as they can be. But we do not have that depth of squad, so we could look back and say that Europe has been a hindrance to us."
