Moyes pleased with his first year back at West Ham: These players fight for eachother

West Ham boss David Moyes is pleased with his first year back in charge.

Moyes kicks off 2021 with a clash against former club Everton tonight.

He reflected, "When I came in this time, it felt much harder to stay in the Premier League, which was a lot to do with the quality of the other teams when you look at the teams who went down last year.

"Then from that, I had to build on it and pick us up so for me, it was good. I wanted to come back and show that I was the right man to do the job, so that gave me a lot of pleasure.

"Probably the biggest pleasure has been seeing how the team has evolved. It's really difficult to explain this, but we've got an atmosphere at the training ground now which I haven't seen before.

"We've got players committed, determined, fighting for one another, and I want to improve on that, but the only way I can do that is by getting better results and better results and trying to play better.

"We're doing that – maybe not in the last month or so, where our play's not been quite as good as before – but we're still getting some good results on the road and on our journey."
