You either believe Pardew - or you don't. But the guy ain't gonna change.
Alan Pardew: “It was a difficult pitch at the Hawthorns, and I thought Mapou was absolutely outstanding.
“He had a couple of misplaced passes. I thought one of them was definitely the pitch. He was probably the outstanding player.
“(Against Sunderland), he was absolutely tired.
“The difference between (Yohan) Cabaye and Mapou between Sunday and (West Brom) was a million miles.
“They looked different players – that’s what energy levels can do for you.”
Newcastle are now 15th in the Premier League following the draw and are six points clear of the relegation zone.
