Ben Foster: 'It was time for a change'

Goalkeeper Ben Foster says that it was "time for a change" at West Bromwich Albion after head coach Tony Pulis was sacked as head coach at The Hawthorns last week.

Goalkeeper Ben Foster has suggested that West Bromwich Albion made the correct decision in parting ways with head coach Tony Pulis.

Last week, West Brom announced that Pulis had been removed from his position from the dugout after a run of just 12 points being recorded from 21 Premier League matches, and the Baggies responded with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Foster has claimed that Pulis's style of play did not suit some of the players that have recently been introduced into the side, but the veteran stopper is hopeful of a brighter future for the West Midlands outfit.

The 34-year-old is quoted by the Daily Mail as saying: "Everybody knows the Tony Pulis style of football and now we have technically gifted players who want to get the ball down and show what they can do. It's not necessarily what Tony wanted, to be honest.

"This is definitely the most technically gifted West Brom team in my time. Look at the bench, with [Grzegorz] Krychowiak, a PSG player with bundles of quality, and young Sam Field, a really good technical player, starting in front of him. They've always been known as hard-working grinders. It is nice to give players a break from just getting the ball forward and getting up behind it.

"It's a shame but it was time for a change. That's what it was, really, and you could sense it at Spurs where the fans were out in numbers and there was a good atmosphere."

West Brom currently sit one point above the relegation zone in the top-flight standings.
