The West Brom manager Steve Clarke has said that the former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster was responsible for the goal scored by Liverpool, which ultimately helped the Merseyside club in the league cup match against West Brom. Liverpool earned a hardfought 2-1 win over West Brom, who had beaten them earlier in the season.
The 3-0 defeat of Liverpool on the opening day of the season must have given the West Brom players a lot of confidence ahead of this match. However, they were unable to replicate the same form in this match and they were soundly beaten by their opponents.

Ben Foster was the chief culprit in the match when he allowed Liverpool to score the first goal of the day. Even though Steve Clarke has said that he has no worries about the result, he has said that he is extremely disappointed to have lost the match. West Brom have made a good start to the Premier league season after they have won matches against Liverpool and Everton without much trouble. However, it is quite obvious that West Brom do need a very strong team if they are going to come up against the likes of Premier league clubs like Bolton and Stoke city.
“We said we’d have a go, we certainly started that way. I think their first goal knocked the stuffing out of us a bit. I don’t know why, maybe because it was such a soft goal to lose, it knocked us back a bit in the first half. It is unusual for Ben. I don’t think it’s even worth having an in depth discussion about it. It is not like Ben, it doesn’t happen very often and we move on. After 1-1 they were better, they passed it better, we sat off them too much,” said Clarke.
