"The players enjoy the football more than last season with Newcastle, where we knew how we wanted to play. We always played on the results – that’s it.
"We always try to score more goals than the opponent. Newcastle was more tactically (set up).

Mitrovic felt that Fulham – who beat Newcastle twice – were the "best team to watch" in the Championship last season.
"That’s the reason why I came here," said the 23-year-old. "The style, the players, always attacking, always trying to score one more than your opponents, always with a lot of possession.
"Last season I really followed Fulham. They were the best team to watch in the Championship. We are continuing like this.
"I really enjoy it. I want to help my team-mates get promoted this season."
