Newcastle boss Alan Pardew said it will take a special player to take Ryan Taylor's place in the team as his free-kick earned victory over Sunderland.

 

Taylor has deputised at left-back after Jose Enrique's move to Liverpool, and his second-half strike helped continue a fine run against the Black Cats.

 

"That right foot of his is a fantastic weapon," Pardew told BBC Sport.

 

"We are trying to bring in another left-back, but he will have to be a good one to take Ryan out of the team."

 

Newcastle have lost only once in 13 league encounters against their Wearside rivals.

 

 

Worrying signals from Pardew there.  Aye, Taylor scored a cracker yesterday but he's no more than a stop-gap in that position and will get found out as the season goes on and he is still playing there.

 

Not that worrying. Was hardly going to say 'Cheers for the goal, but you're fucking shit at LB and we want a replacement as quick as possible'

Just seen our prem league fixtures over the next 2 months, i wud defo say all of them are definately winnable games. As long as pardaz manages to get a proper left back in and a striker before the window shuts, i can see us picking up a fair few points and remaining in the top half :snod: ....for then at least

Fulham will be tough IMO. They won't be easy to break down and we need to step up a gear if we are going to win the game. Defensively we've looked good but going forward is another story.

Agree. Goals from set pieces are the only likely goals we are to score at the moment. That or from long range shots, from the likes of Cabaye or Barton.

Hopefully we will be more adventurous against fulham tho and will play 4-4-2, and lets face it against fulham we will see a lot more of the ball than arsenal when we did have two up front...so hopefully we will create more...

Wa defence and keeper have been spot on so far like, neither arsenal or sunderland created any 'they defo should have scored' chances against us... not bad saying as we dont have a proper left back...

Arsenal should have scored, though. On a few occasions the decision making from them in and around our box has been very poor.

Can excuse the performances first two games as a matter of grinding out the results, but next week at home to a team we should be looking at overtaking this season, I at least expect us to show signs of the type of football he wants us to play even if it's not freeflowing just yet.

Yep, also agree that Vukic needs to be considered more if we continue to struggle for goals.

Just seent he ban that came from this thread, sorry if it's going over old ground but just how you could get banned (and because of your dedicated negativity) after we beat our rivals is mental. Don't understand what enjoyment anyone gets out of following us if you can't just be happy with the result yesterday.

 

Still torn on Pardew, he is such a likeable chap (as I am sure many woman can testify to) but I can't ignore what Golf Mag said.

 

I do think he gets blamed for a lot of stuff that is out of his hands mind.
