Baggies FTW!
Roberto di Matteo has criticised the mistakes that West Brom have been making recently and says that they will improve. West Brom boss Roberto di Matteo felt his side contributed to their own downfall.
“Today was bad defending. Generally we haven’t conceded too many goals from set pieces but today we conceded two,” the Italian reflected.
“We need to be better and pay attention defensively because you get punished very quickly.”
Roberto di Matteo has said that is looking forward to the positives from the Aston Villa match, a game that West Brom lost. West Brom’s 31-year-wait for a victory at Villa Park goes on after goals from Stewart Downing and Emile Heskey were enough for the hosts to claim the spoils against their Midlands rivals.
Paul Scharner grabbed what proved to be a consolation goal a minute before time and Di Matteo felt a combination of fortune and profligacy in attacking areas cost them on Saturday.
Leicester City have signed West Brom striker Roman Bednar on loan deal. Bednar, who was also wanted by Hull City, has fallen out of favour at the Hawthorns this term, making just three appearances in the Premier League.
The Czech Republic international, 27, scored 30 goals in 85 games for the Baggies having joined for £2.3m in June 2008 after a successful loan spell.
He becomes Eriksson’s fifth signing since he took over in October.
