Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has defended his tactics for defeat at Liverpool in midweek.
Newcastle were jeered off the end with Liverpool accusing them of time wasting.
"We know what we were trying to do," said Howe on Friday morning. "We were trying to win the game. I've given reasons as to why there were stoppages. Nick Pope went down twice, the first time he was feeling a bit dizzy, the second time, I think he fell on his back. I'm not sure there's a lot we can do there.
"It was a bit bitty in the second half with substitutions and there was certainly no gamesmanship on our side. That's just the way the game went.
"We want to fight for every point, every tackle and do everything we can to win. If that's unpopular with people, then so be it, but we'll continue to hopefully play in the way that we all see that we should. Aside of Newcastle, what people think of us – that Is not my concern."
Howe added: "I don't have any emotion about being booed off. Certainly, we don't want to be clapped off by the opposition in a sympathetic sense. We're here to compete and no part of me thinks differently. How that's perceived by other people has no relevance to me."
