Carlos Corberan hatches plan to stop Borja Sainz as West Brom told to be wary

West Brom have been urged to be wary of this weekend's opponents Norwich City and not buy into their recent dip in form.

Not only has their run of results coincided with key striker Josh Sargent's injury but also a host of efforts striking the woodwork.

Albion boss Carlos Corberan said: "I read one stat and it is important. They have hit the post more than any team in the league. Seven times!

"This tells you a lot of things. So for me they are a team with a new coach, they made the play-offs last year, they kept good players, they sold one player, Rowe to Marseille, and signed players like Marcondes for example. He has played in the Premier League. They still have Sargent and Borja Sainz, the player with the most goals.

"They have excellent players, they recruit excellent players, a very good offensive coach. They have everything to be in the positions other teams are taking. But maybe because the ball went to the post and not the goal seven times they have six or seven points less.

"How I evaluate them? As a very good team who play very good football. Normally they have 60 per cent of the ball or even more so it is a team built to attack. Very dominant. And they recover more balls in the pressing attacking half. They are built to press."

One of the players West Brom will be up against is in form top scorer Borja Sainz with 11 games to his name already, two more than the next best Josh Maja.

Corberan was asked how he prepares for a player who can score from almost anywhere on the pitch and replied: "Knowing this. He has shown that he has been one of the best wingers in the competition, scoring many goals, giving a lot of assists so he is a player that demands a lot of you.

"It is going to be very demanding for Furlong, he can be very demanding for the line of four or for the defenders, even for the wingers, for everything how you play because if you give him space and time he is going to penetrate with the ball and he is very good at finishing."
