Yacob urges West Brom to continue fine start to campaign

New West Bromwich Albion signing Claudio Yacob insists the club need to continue their good form as they lie third in the table going into the international break. The 25-year-old midfielder admits facing Liverpool on his debut was tough but believes Albion do not have cause to fear any team.

"It was a great challenge to play against Liverpool in my first game - especially as I hadn't played for three or four months in Argentina," Yacob told the Express & Star.

"I realised that playing against Liverpool was a very difficult challenge in my first game.

"But I prepared well leading up to the game and I was very pleased the result was a positive one.

"I was fully aware of the history, prestige and reputation of Liverpool. But we also need to take into account that West Brom have a very good history. We shouldn't be afraid of playing teams like Liverpool."
