Eddie Howe says he had no qualms about being second best in the possession stakes against Leicester City. But warned that his United team won't always be so compromising.
Newcastle had just 31% of the ball against the Foxes but still won the game 2-1 at St James' Park. Howe's side did create 16 goal attempts overall but after the game he was asked about the lack of possession.
Howe said: "The credit I can give the players today is that we accepted our role – that doesn't mean that we always want to accept our role as the team that didn't have the ball, but we accepted it and sort of understood at that moment we couldn't necessarily change it."
