West Brom have seen a resurgence in form in the last few matches.
The club may have won just one league matches last five, but they have also suffered only two defeats in this period. This improved form has been keeping them out of relegation trouble. Scoring goals has been a major problem for Alan Irvine’s team, but they have been saved on a number of occasions by the much improved defence. The club have been able to get the best out of former England international Joleon Lescott, who joined the club on a free transfer in the summer. He is one of the several English players in the team.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster, who joined the club several years ago from Manchester United, says that the presence of a British feel to the back four is one of the reasons for the much improved performances.Irvine has not been changing his starting line-up much in recent matches. This is partly been because of the current players performing well above expectations Berahino. The 21-year-old recently received a call up for the England national team and he is likely to feature in the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers. He has already scored seven goals and is only behind the likes of Aguero, Costa, and Alexis Sanchez in the goal scoring charts.
“The good thing for us as a club is we have a lot of good British players.We have a good solid British core throughout the heart of the team.The likes of Joleon Lescott, Craig Dawson, Andre Wisdom are English players with Craig Gardner in front of them. It’s nice to see.Joleon has been absolutely amazing for us this season, he’s been an absolute rock at the back.He’s obviously got a lot of experience but with that he reads the game so well,” said Foster.
