To be fair to Pardew we were missing 4 of our most influential players in Remy, Sissoko, Debuchy and Krul. We also lose our structure and discipline when Pardew isnt on the touchline yelling out instructions like, "no more goals". Plus it was a bit windy out there, Man Utd have really started hitting their straps... i mean look how well they played against Bayern. The negative vibes from the home fans certainly didnt help the players out there either.
The moon was too far away, couldn't get that extra bit of lift for our long balls.
