Alan Pardew: “You have seen lots of Premier League clubs in the Carling Cup go away and struggle and a lot of them have been beaten. We could have been beaten.”
"Tim Krul had a lot more to do here than in the first two league games and I said that would happen to him beforehand.
“You knew he had to have his concentration levels at their peak and he was very much on his game.
"We could have conceded two or three without him and it could have finished 3-3.”
