Arteta reveals the secret of Moysie’s success

|

It’s well known that David Moyes has bonded this Hammers squad like few before him!

It’s been mentioned many times during this extraordinary season for our club and now it could all come to an amazing conclusion with Champions League campaign.

Whatever one may feel about his tactics, formations and approach to some games on occasions there is absolutely no doubting that Moyes has instilled a spirit we haven’t seen at this club in a long, long time.

It’s well known too that there was little or no unrest at Everton in  his heyday at the Toffees where he used very much the same man management methodology to keep the club in the upper reaches of the Premier League against all the financial odds.

The visiting boss on Sunday Mikel Arteta joined him from him Rangers in January 2005, going on to play over 200 times for the Toffees and helping Moyes take the club into the Champions League.

And he has given an insight into why the 57 year old Scot gets his results saying: “I really liked how he managed the group as well as the individuals.

“He really installed a real belief around the club to be together all the time, to look after each other and nobody was more important than the team.

“He really created a special atmosphere when we were together and I think that is why everyone involved at that time really enjoyed our time together.”
