Ben Foster mighty impressed with Manchester City

Ben Foster is mighty impressed with the brand of Football Manchester City plays and while he loves watching them go against the other teams, he says it’s not quite enjoyable when he himself has to face them because they are an incredibly difficult opposition to lock horns with.

Ben Foster praises the demeanour of Watford boss Javi Gracia

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster has praised the qualities of manager Javi Gracia and believes the Spaniard’s calm personality on and off the pitch has helped the team progress. The Hornets have made another quick start to the Premier League campaign and they are currently on 20 points after the first 13 games of the season.

Speaking to TalkSPORT, Foster spoke positively about the influence of the former Malaga head coach and suggested that the Spaniard’s down to earth attitude without giving anything away has been influential towards the club’s strong start to the campaign, he said: “He’s just a really nice guy first and foremost. He’s very calm and down to earth and very approachable. You can speak to him just like a normal bloke. But then when it comes to management he mirrors that and is very calm. He never gets too excited and I think as players and grown men, you respect that a bit more than the ones that shout and bawl at you.”

Ben Foster feels Troy Deeney would add an extra dimension to the England squad

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster believes club-captain Troy Deeney would add an extra dimension to the England squad, should he earn his maiden call-up. The 30-year-old has been a consistent performer over the years and he has started the new campaign in the same vein of form with two goals and an assist from the opening six Premier League games.

Speaking after the recent match versus Fulham, Foster heaped praised on the Hornets captain and believes he could have a similar impact to that of Peter Crouch with the England national side, he said: “Yes, he offers a different dimension. Like when Peter Crouch was in the team, he brought a different dimension at that time. That’s what Troy’s got. If you get the ball up to him with quality, he will hold it and, as long as you can get around him, you can get yourself up the pitch. He is such a strong boy and his work rate is second to none. Troy can only do his talking on the pitch. That’s what he has done every game since I have been here this season.”

Ben Foster reacts to reports of backlash from West Bromwich Albion fans

The England international had earlier promised to help the Black Country outfit return to the Premier League but he thereafter made the surprise decision to join the Hornets.

Speaking to reporters, Foster acknowledged that he deserved the backlash from the West Brom supporters, given he had failed to keep up with the promise. He added that he could not resist the opportunity to join the Hornets, considering he has already entered the twilight of his professional career.

Nacer Chadli unsure of his West Bromwich Albion future

Nacer Chadli has refused to speak about his West Bromwich Albion future ahead of the summer World Cup in Russia. The 28-year-old had played no part for the Baggies during the second half of the season with a thigh injury but he still managed to make the cut for the summer World Cup with Belgium.

Following his selection, Chadli was asked about his future with the Baggies to which he replied: “I don't know. I have told my agent already, I won't speak with anybody. If I have to go [and speak], I will go on my holidays and maybe have some meetings.” Meanwhile, Chadli also had fond words to say about Darren Moore, who has recently been appointed as the club’s permanent head coach, he added:“Everybody saw what kind of manager he is. He had some great ideas with the group. He spoke a lot about unity which is very important. He had very good results, we had some good games in the last five weeks of the season. He brings hope to the club and to everyone around him.”

Ben Foster Wants West Bromwich Albion To Finish Strongly Despite Relegation Looming

Ben Foster Happy with Clean Sheet against Liverpool

West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster says that the clean sheet against Liverpool will act as a huge confidence boost for the club going into the next game against Manchester United. It was an extremely important result for West Brom, who remain without a victory under Alan Pardew. West Brom were able to frustrate Liverpool and ended up getting a goalless draw. This result is much more important in the form of a clean sheet for the team, as it represents a great deal of confidence going into a match against Manchester United. Even though United have not been the greatest scorers this season, the team will create a lot of chances – especially if they find themselves trailing at any point in the game.

Ben Foster says that coming out of a clean sheet against Liverpool is not an easy feat, as the team managed by Jurgen Klopp can be quite scary at times. Liverpool have the best offence in the division with players like Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane being able to rip apart any opponent that comes their way. Foster has likened Liverpool’s attack to that of Manchester City, who have been leading the table by a considerable margin. Foster admitted that these teams will continue to possess a great deal of threat going forward due to the vast budgets.

Foster believes in the new-look West Brom squad

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster has revealed his delight at the arrivals of Kieran Gibbs and Gareth Barry during the summer transfer window.

The Baggies were initially slow picking their targets in the summer, but they eventually ended up as one of the big winners with the likes of Grzegorz Krychowiak brought in before the transfer deadline. In a report covered by The Express and Star, Foster appear to share a similar view on the transfer business with the club now having sufficient depth in their squad.
