‘Crazy improvement’, ‘Has been class’ – Many WBA fans blown away by player admission
Romaine Sawyers has enjoyed a rollercoaster start to life in the Premier League after being the main man for West Brom in the Championship.
The midfielder disappointed at first and was actually dropped after the arrival of Conor Gallagher and Filip Krovinovic at the Hawthorns.
Slaven Bilic spoke out and claimed that Sawyers wasn’t delivering earlier in the campaign – something he backed him to address at the time [Express and Star].
Sawyers has broken his silence on Thursday, claiming that he agreed with Bilic and that he wasn’t happy with himself.
“I wasn’t at the level where I want to be or where the gaffer or my team-mates wanted me to be. I want to produce for them,” he told West Brom’s official website.
“I think in the last few games I have shown the Romaine that they know and the Romaine they appreciate. I know I need to continue to do it. I think at the start of the season there was perhaps a lack of knowledge and understanding.
It took courage to come out and admit that you were poor, and Sawyers has clearly addressed that since coming back into the side.
Jake Livermore’s absence due to a positive COVID-19 test handed Sawyers the perfect opportunity to come back, and he has grasped that with both hands.
Sawyers completed 50 passes against Sheffield United, and no one managed more according to WhoScored as he guided his side to victory.
Many Baggies fans have reacted to the interview, claiming that the midfielder highlighted great attitude, heaping him in praise for his improvement.
