The most amount of points Albion have collected in the Premier League is 41, which was achieved in Graham Potter’s first two seasons in charge of the club. So far this season Albion have collected 33 points and have 11 games remaining in the campaign in order to beat their record. This should be achieved as the club has averaged 1.23 points per match in the Premier League with Potter in charge, so they should end the season with 47 points. Alzate is confident that the club can achieve this aim.
Steven Alzate said : “When it’s not going your way in football, it feels like nothing will fall for you. We’ve got a good group and despite a few losses we’ve still got high spirits in the dressing room. Every team will have a tough period and we’re going through ours now, so we need to stay strong and keep believing. We will start getting points again soon. Every season you want to demonstrate progress and we showed some of our best form at the start of the season – we need to rediscover that. Before the season people outside the club said we should be happy with staying in the league, then after five games they thought we’d be challenging for Europe. In the dressing room we’ve always been realistic. We’re confident we can beat that points tally of 41 with 11 games still to play.”
The midfielder was hailed by Potter for his performance against Newcastle and now Alzate is keen for more action.
Steven Alzate said: “I feel like whenever I get an opportunity I take it but I can only do my bit and perform. It’s the manager’s call whether or not I’m in the team but I was happy to hear those words on Saturday.”
