Valerien Ismael
Jake Livermore says he is enjoying himself at West Brom after being granted a new lease of life by new managerial incumbent Valerien Ismael – and he predicts that Albion will get better as pre-season continues.
Jake Livermore said: “I am just enjoying my football again. He (Ismael) is a great guy. The squad of boys we have got here, it was difficult last season, but that is behind us now and we have got a manager who believes in us and wants us to progress and go forward. He has put a smile on our faces and it’s about us moving forward. Woking was a good test. It was something we are going to have to get used to this season – teams sitting off us and making things difficult. We are all believing in what the manager and his staff want. We are all very much together this season and looking forward to the battle ahead. As soon as that fitness comes back we’ll be a lot more clinical in the final third. It’s only our second run out of pre-season and the lads are gradually grasping what the manager wants.”
