Tony Pulis
Pulis is criticised for his ‘heavy’ style of football

The man knows how to train his players and grind out results. West Brom did not manage walk away with a point from Stamford Bridge today but they were top class throughout the match.

They made just one mistake in the entire game and Diego Costa punished them. This man knows how to change the game and how to outplay the opponents.

He is criticised for his ‘heavy’ style of football. Nobody in the Premier League likes the idea of a team defending more and using being technical winning. But what people don't see is how much of preparation and planning this takes and the effort put in by the players to execute it.
