3) Give Sterling time
Raheem Sterling, a £49million signing from Liverpool, made his debut yesterday and proved a constant menace to the West Brom defence.
Although he spurned a glorious goal-scoring opportunity just before the interval, shooting too close to Boaz Myhill, the England international provided a real threat in the wide areas.
Critics will inevitably find fault with the 20-year-old but in reality it will take time to properly assess whether he has justified his arguably over-inflated price tag.
