Fabian Huerzeler, head coach of Albion, is looking to make a strategic move by starting Mats Wieffer in the upcoming Cup tie against Liverpool. Wieffer, a former Feyenoord midfielder, had a rough outing in the previous game against Wolves, where he made a crucial error leading to a late equalizer. Despite this setback, Huerzeler believes Wieffer has the potential to bounce back and make a positive impact on the upcoming match.
Huerzeler is well aware of Wieffer’s abilities and work ethic, noting that the midfielder has been putting in the effort during training sessions. While Wieffer may need some time to fully adapt to the intensity of the game in England, Huerzeler remains optimistic about his progress. He emphasizes the importance of giving Wieffer the necessary game time to regain his confidence and trust in his abilities.
The head coach acknowledges that Wieffer’s mistake in the previous game has been a topic of discussion, but he is more focused on the midfielder’s overall performance. Huerzeler highlights Wieffer’s positive impact in the game against Newcastle and believes that he has the potential to be a key player for the team. By starting Wieffer in the upcoming Cup tie, Huerzeler hopes to provide him with the opportunity to showcase his skills and respond effectively to any challenges that may arise.
In addition to Wieffer, Albion will also be making a late decision on the availability of Jack Hinshelwood and Yankuba Minteh for the match against Liverpool. The team is determined to secure a spot in the fifth round of the Cup, a feat they have not achieved since the 1978-79 season. Huerzeler and his players are focused on delivering a strong performance and advancing in the competition, with Wieffer potentially playing a crucial role in their success.
