Thomas Frank insists Brentford will go all-out in first Premier League season

Thomas Frank insists Brentford will not change their style and will go all-out attack in the Premier League.

Brentford were big entertainers in the Championship and Frank wants them to be just as expansive in the top flight even against the most daunting opponents.

Bees boss Frank said: "That is the big aim. Of course we are all learning along the way, but our big aim is to attack in the Premier League, and I don't see why we could not.

"I only say, though, for as many minutes as possible, because even in the Championship you cannot attack for 90 minutes, you need to defend for several minutes depending on the opponent.

"But we will try to attack as much as possible against Arsenal. If you want to achieve something, you need to be positive. You cannot defend and then try to achieve something.

"Of course I am aware that we need to do both very well - because if you don't defend very well, then you don't have a chance to also attack, so we will attack."

Brentford make their Premier League bow against Arsenal and Frank insists they must believe they can cause an upset from day one.

Frank added: "If we don't believe going into that massive game on Friday night that we can win it, then it doesn't matter and we shouldn't show up

"Of course we believe that we can win it and present ourselves in a good way. We are very aware we are facing world-class players, but we need to believe, because that is half the way to the victory.

"It is easy to believe before the game, but it is also during the game in the tough spells where we need to keep believing, keep doing the right things, keep staying in there, that is where you really show that top attitude."
