Alan Pardew: “We won there last year, and we can go there with confidence (after the performance against City), and hopefully get ourselves a win.
“I thought as a team and as a squad, you could see there was a togetherness there.
“If we take that into every game – we won’t come up against that sort of quality every week – we will win more than we lose.
Siem de Jong
“I don’t think we should read too much into our goal threat (against City), because we still have Papiss to come back, and we still have Siem de Jong to join this group.
“If you put that into the mix – with Manu, who I thought was decent (on Sunday) – we have got a good forward line.
“I think Siem will be close next week.”
