Season › 2013-14 › News Martinez prefers winning in style Michael Kenrick , 21 October, 0comments | Jump to most recent Roberto Martinez was pleased to see his Everton side notch up a victory over Hull City despite the more battling style of game The Tigers forced Everton to play. “What's important is that when you are mastering a way of play you could have other options,” Martinez said. “We showed on Saturday that we are more than one-trick pony. “We will be stupid not to use the strengths of our players. We are here to win football games and do it in a controlled, pleasing manner with a clear pattern of play. “The three points are going to help us do what we want to do. Style is very important. We had more possession than Hull, more attacking moves and controlled the game. “If you go somewhere, sit behind the ball, get 20% of the play and come away with a sneaky win, I don't enjoy those. You need find a way to break things down and win the game, by taking responsibility if wanting the ball. “In the first half we had the ball. Hull were pressing high up and hitting us on the counter. In the second half we handled that and got the three points we deserved. “If you win without style and knowing what you are doing, it is going to be short term victories. If you do it in a certain way you will get better and stronger so style matters a lot.” Quotes or other material sourced from Liverpool Echo About these ads © ToffeeWeb
