To be honest, the players deserve the criticism today much, much more than Pardew does. We took a 2-0 lead and then we went to sleep..... they came back into it...we're still a sleep.... they pull one back....we're still asleep..... then finally when they equalise, the players bother to show the extra effort and try, cluelessly, to win it all over again.
Pardew's selection at the start actually helped win us the game, the rest... was lost by the players' complacency, imo.
