well that was unexpected because i was sure with everything going on this was the game where liverpool solved their away form torres slaughtered us and we went into a death cycle to inevitable relegation but this group of lads continues to surprise us, how much can be put down to pardew is debatable at best, bringing on ranger was enforced but as jonny hall stated it could have been mcloven who would not have made a blind bit of difference and ranger changed the game.
Whether or not hes really the long term answer remains to be seen but pardew could not have had a better start.
oh and to anyone there top marks to the fans inside, perfect atmosphere, hate the owner and back the players
