Allardyce: "I wouldn't say I was shocked by the performance at Reading, but we were disappointed because some of the players do not seem to have grasped the fact that you cannot play the same way in every single game.
"Every game needs different qualities to win it and we have to learn that playing and beating a team like Tottenham, who allow you to play football, is not going to be the same as playing a side like Reading who play in a completely different way.
"For the foreign players, especially, that is something they have to learn as quickly as possible, but of course it's going to take a little bit of time.
"I don't think there is any league in the world which has more diverse styles than the Premier League.
"You can play Arsenal one week, who play one way, and then a team like Reading the next that play in a completely different way.
"That can be hard for foreign players to adapt to, but it's our job to get them to learn these lessons as quickly as we can.
