Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup won't go route one to assure Premier League safety.

The Welsh outfit have become renowned for their attractive, dynamic brand of football over the last few years and it is something Laudrup - who was appointed as successor to Brendan Rodgers over the summer - has vowed he will not be abandoning, even when times are tough.

"Given the way we play, it could be easier if we just played direct every time," Laudrup said.

"When you lose games and the confidence is not the highest, it would probably be easier to just pump the ball up there to the two up front and see what happens.

"But it is not the way we play and we will continue playing as we do.

"We just have to remember all the things we have to do - the movements, the tempo - as we did in the second half.

"When you see how we played in that second half, and for part of the first half, then you see we have a very good team.

"We have to do it this way, otherwise we will struggle."
