James Morrison eyes European spot

James Morrison believes that West Bromwich Albion should be looking towards a European spot after their recent good form.

West Bromwich Albion midfielder James Morrison has expressed his belief that the club could finish in a European spot after their recent good form.

West Brom have won three games in a row going into their clash with Manchester United this weekend, and Morrison believes that Roy Hodgson is capable of repeating the feat that he achieved when he led Fulham to the Europa League final in 2010.

"To finish in the top half is where we want to go to build on last year and kick on from what we achieved. We don't want to be talking about relegation in the future, we want to start talking about mid-table. The Europa League is definitely something we can look towards next year if we can get more players in," said the 25-year-old.

"It does take its toll - look how many games Fulham have played already. But it can give a club special moments as both myself and Roy Hodgson know. I got to a final with Middlesbrough [in 2006], Roy did it with Fulham - that's what you want.

"As players we all want to play in Europe. You get a chance to play against new, different teams. You travel to new countries. It's obviously hard on you physically but what can be better than playing against clubs like Roma."

West Brom currently sit 10th in the Premier League, just four points behind seventh-placed Liverpool.
