West Ham boss David Moyes admits he's modeling this team on his past sides at Everton.

The Hammers have played their way into European contention this season.

Moyes said, "In many ways, I think I'm trying to copy the same model I had at Everton and have the same idea which was bringing in people who can take us away from the bottom.

"At Everton we had a side who were happy to avoid relegation and by Easter time we were probably safe and knocked off, so I had to make sure that mentality changed and we changed that around.

"I think there was a little similarity at West Ham, but the biggest thing about both clubs is there is great scope for growth.

"What you need, which I was very fortunate to have at Everton at that time, was I had Sir Philip Carter and Bill Kenwright, people who were really, really supportive and gave me time when things weren't going so well.

"Any manager needs a bit of time to build a club unless you're going to spend hundreds and of millions and if you're being fair we've tried to do that before and it's probably not worked here at West Ham.

"I'm not the person who makes all the decisions at West Ham, but I can only give my experience and my opinion on what way I think looks best for this Club. It'll be the Club's choice what way they choose to go."
