Livermore: Baggies can handle pressure

JAKE LIVERMORE says West Brom are relishing the fact they have a target on their back this season.

The Baggies open the Championship season at Bournemouth tonight after taking the Premier League drop in May.

And captain Livermore, right, said: “We are a target. We know that, but it’s a nice pressure to have. We’ve got the character in the changing room to deal with that.

“We won’t be taking any games lightly. We realise we’re a team that’s there to be shot at and we’re relishing that. We’re ready and confident after what was a really disappointing season. We have to get our heads around trying to get promotion rather than dwell on being relegated.”
