Moyes described the first half as the best football of his reign, which began in November. However, the Hammers boss is demanding more from the Londoners whose undefeated record in 2018 continued.

"I'm looking for better. A lot of the games we've been winning, but I'm looking for more," the former Everton and Manchester United boss said.

David Moyes thought West Ham missed big chances but played some of their best football of the season in their 1-1 draw against Bournemouth

He told the club's website: "We're nudging along, making progress, the most important thing come the end of the season is not to be in the bottom three, but in the same breath I've got my eyes looking up to see if we can make the top ten as well.

"We could do with a body or two coming in, so we'll try to do that. We're working on it and we'll try to get the right players and people who we think can help us."
