He told The Sun: “I hear it constantly: we move it slowly, we're a possession-based team, we haven't got a lot of pace.

“But prior to West Brom, we were No 1 in the league for crosses, fifth for shots and sixth for final-third entries this season.

“We're No 1 crossers and people say we don't play to (centre-forward Aleksandar) Mitrovic's strengths!

“Maybe it's easy punditry, to see a team play a few passes at the back and get caught out and you lose sight of the whole picture.

“I'm conscious of us having an identity. I want us to be dynamic, entertaining and attractive. There is a duty to entertain our fans."
