Corberan praises West Brom’s ‘ideal’ traits, including Alex Mowatt, who could start against Watford.
Alex Mowatt might make his West Brom debut against Watford after Carlos Corberan praised his “perfect” traits that make him suited for his present system.
Corberan has suggested that Mowatt, along with Jeremy Sarmiento, could start the game at Vicarage Road, but if not, they will play Millwall the following Saturday. Both are still waiting for their season debuts.
The Baggies manager believes Mowatt has a better chance of starting when the club plays with three or five at the back, since his game is perfectly suited to possession football.

“He’s smarter than he is quick.” We are also attempting to improve his physical resources, but his mind and foot are unrivaled.”
Corberan’s praise for Mowatt will be a huge confidence boost for the player, who will now feel ready, with the backing of his manager, to go out and perform to the best of his ability for West Brom in the Championship.
It is widely acknowledged across the club that the squad is not as large or competitive as many would like it to be, but for players like Mowatt, it provides an opportunity to establish their claim for a starting spot and play their way into contention.
As the Championship season progresses, rotation will be required, and having the manager speak so warmly about you in public will ready the players to step into the side when called upon.
The same can be said for Jeremy Sarmiento, who is expected to participate in one of this week’s games and will be eager to get his first chance to show what he can do right away.
