Not sure that's how I would describe Norwich, Watford or Brentford last year. Thought all 3 were decent footballing sides,
The year before that, Villa, Fulham and West Brom, again none of those did it with brute force and were good footballing sides.
Think the idea of brute force went along time ago but cannot be bothered to go back any further than 2 years.
West brom were big physical team. Tallest defence in the league 6ft3
Same with Watford. They had the tallest. Both teams were tallest in the league
