West Bromwich Albion's Jonas Olsson hits back at Tony Pulis's critics

Jonas Olsson defends West Bromwich Albion's cautious approach after manager Tony Pulis received criticism.

West Bromwich Albion centre-back Jonas Olsson has defended Tony Pulis following criticism of the manager's style of play.

The team have been accused of lacking attacking threat this season, but Olsson has given his backing to Pulis after the side earned a 2-1 win over Arsenal at The Hawthorns on Saturday.

The Baggies, who have kept six clean sheets, are 12th in the Premier League table after five wins, two draws and six defeats.

"It think the criticism can be a bit negative - I never understand that as a player," The Mirror quotes Olsson as saying. "Someone says there needs to be a balance between results and entertainment but for the players it's 100% about the results .

"He is a good manager, he came in last year and is still building a squad. The way we play now suits us - it's as simple as that."

The Baggies' next game is away to West Ham United on Sunday.
