West Brom boss Tony Pulis is delighted with the form of Matt Phillips.

Brimming with confidence and oozing class, after a workmanlike start to the season, the 25-year-old winger has suddenly burst into life.

“We're all made differently, and thank god we are," explained Pulis. “Different people have different strengths and weaknesses. It is accepted that lack of confidence is a weakness of his. He is trying his hardest, and playing the way he is playing is the best medicine he could take.

“If he had that self belief and that confidence that some players have got he'd be absolutely outstanding every week.

“He's got all the tools, he can score a goal, he creates goals, he's got fantastic pace, he's physically a real specimen and athletically as good as anybody.

“So it's just that self belief and putting your arm around him and encouraging him week in, week out to overcome a mental demon that I think he is trying to get rid of more than anything else."
