Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe defended his tactics after their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.
Howe insists Newcastle United don't have any problems with their style of play - despite drawing their third game in four matches in the Premier League.
He said last night: "I thought we did most things right. I thought we played very well, controlled the game, had chances.
"Maybe not absolute must-score moments but a lot of chances you'd like to be able to do better with if they happened again. A lot of good ball around their box, a lot of really good build-up play, we just couldn't score a goal.
"Whenever you're not scoring it's a concern, you're not scoring in the numbers that maybe we would want to, but I don't think there's any concern about our style of play or how we're trying to approach the games."
Palace were happy with a point and their players looked delighted at the final whistle in a week in which they held Man United and now Newcastle.
Howe said: "I just think teams are giving us a lot of respect, getting a lot of men behind the ball and for the away team in here to have the amount of possession and control that we did is unusual, but credit to them to how they defended and it was a tight game but teams will do that to us the more respect we get."
