Roberto Martinez : About Tony Pullis in West Brom

“West Brom have looked full of intent in Tony Pulis' first two games in charge,”
“I think in their game with Hull we saw more of a Tony Pulis side.“

“We saw a really competitive team with an understanding of how to put bodies forward and increase their goalscoring threat. And then, they were also very well organised and structured defensively.“

“I think we will see Tony Pulis' input on a group of players, who are already very experienced in the Premier League.“

“They've had a variety of managers in recent times and I think they've picked up some good traits from all of those managers.“

“Clearly, with the experience of Tony and all the successes that he has brought with the two clubs he has been involved with in the last few years, he's going to be a big, big strength and a big asset for West Brom.”

Sam Allardyce : About His More Flexible Tactics than Roberto Martinez

"I'm a little bit more flexible than Roberto - he is a total believer in one style," said Allardyce.
"You become flexible as time goes on," added Allardyce.
"Flexibility teaches you that you have a philosophy in the way you want to play, but if that way of playing doesn't suit the players you cannot keep that philosophy."

About Winter Transfer Window
"We are not entertaining that speculation of big sales. We are not going to sell our big assets in the window, so I think all those stories and admiration from the outside are just a waste of time."

Roberto Martinez : About Ross Barkley Improvement

“Last season he was a young player enjoying his football, this year he’s ‘Ross Barkley’,“ said Martinez.
“That means it’s harder to find space, harder to get into positions where you can effect the game and that’s something that when you overcome it, it becomes an advantage.“

“I don’t see it as being as clear cut as him being less effective this season. He is evolving, he’s becoming stronger and his tactical awareness is growing all the time,“ added Martinez.
“Remember, when he is on the pitch, normally the opposition uses two players against him and someone else will be free elsewhere.“

“That’s something you need to use as a team.”
“As a young player you keep developing and you keep growing,“ he added.
“I think the thing I always admire with Ross is he will never shy away from getting on the ball.“
“When you have that character, you will get to appoint where your talent will shine.“

“Ross Barkley is a phenomenal talent but he’s still a young man, still learning and he needs to get through certain periods where he can make decisions in a better way.“
“But he’s a reliable character and someone who will always be positive in the squad.”
