West Brom star admits criticism is justified
"But it's not only about the back four. You defend as a team and attack as a team with all 11 players."
Baggies boss Tony Mowbray has been delighted with the contribution of Olsson in his first season despite making the occasional error or misjudgement.
He said: "I like Jonas. He is 6ft 4in tall, a wonderful footballer, a real man, a competitor.
"Yet look at the penalty he gave away at Manchester City last week - we get back to 2-2, then 45 seconds later he lunges in to a tackle and we go 3-2 down... yet it doesn't mean I want to get rid of him or bin him.
"I think he is going to develop, when he gets used to the English game, into a top player and I will be fielding bids for him because he is so good with the ball and the top teams could use players like that.
"He cost us at Manchester City and there have been other occasions but all day long, I'd have him in the team."
