Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew is delighted with the attitude of his players.
The Eagles came from behind to defeat Tottenham 2-1 in front of home fans after the new manager challenged his team to be more adventurous.
"I only have one criticism, which is a strange one for the manager to make - they are too honest, too straight. You can't win Premier League games if you are too disciplined," he said.
"You have to take chances, take risks. You have to have a few maverick players, the player I brought on in the second half (Wilfried Zaha)... that's what the team needs.
"There's a fantastic set of professionals here, I haven't had one fine this week and I'm finding that very unusual as a Newcastle manager - because we used to fine players every 42minutes!
"I'm not being disrespectful to Newcastle players, it's just different set up. I just want to free this team up a little bit and if we do that we could play like we did in the last 20 minutes."
