Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has paid tribute to David Moyes ahead of today's clash with West Ham.
Arteta played under Moyes for six years at Everton from 2005 to 2011 before joining Arsenal as a player.
"I learned a lot," said Arteta. "He was a key figure in my career as a player and someone that I look back at and try to take a lot of things as a manager.
"What he created at Everton in that dressing room was absolutely phenomenal because the level of ability we had, it wasn't the level of the success we achieved, that's for sure."
One of those aspects is trust in youth. Arsenal boast the youngest average age in the Premier League this season.
"The similarity is the environment. They can have the talent, then they need the trust of the manager and the coaching staff, that are willing to take the risk with them. That's one thing that's very important.
"The second thing is they need the right environment in terms of support, to give them confidence, the right senior players, and an environment where they feel safe and able, on some occasions, fail, and come back and try again."
