West Brom would rather go down playing football, says Jonathan Greening

Jonathan Greening claims West Brom won't sacrifice their passing game to survive in the Premier League.

The Baggies were ruthlessly exposed by Manchester United when they tried to play football, and critics argue they should switch to long-ball tactics if they want to succeed.

But Greening insists Tony Mowbray's side can stay up without ditching their pure-football principles. "I don't think we could compromise our beliefs," said Greening.

"We came here to try and stop United playing, but also to play the way we know we can when we got the ball.

"We did that in patches and did well for the first hour or so. OK, we just couldn't stop them once they scored, but it won't stop us playing the way we always do."
