West Brom boss Clarke confident goals will flow for Anelka

West Bromwich Albion boss Steve Clarke insists Nicolas Anelka will find his scoring boots after missing two good chances for their draw with Arsenal.

Clarke believes Anelka will find his form with the Baggies.

"Nicolas is an experienced striker and he knows he was in the right position. The first chance actually arrived a little bit behind him, which meant it was difficult to finish," he told the Express and Star.

"For the second one he did almost everything right. He opened the goal up and just put it the wrong side of the post - we're talking inches.

"On another day he could have scored both. Strikers need goals and 'Nico' is experienced enough to know if he keeps getting in those positions he'll score goals."
