Alan Pardew: “It was more than that tonight. I made my views very clear in the dressing room.
"That’s where they will stay. I’m not really going to say too much in front of you guys (the press) other than to give a message to our fans to say that that wasn’t good enough, and Aston Villa, we need to make sure it is good enough.
“For the first time, we looked a little bit unconfident, a little bit unsure what we were doing, we lacked energy in certain areas.
“I’m not going to elaborate on that.
“Of course I’m not happy. This is a game where you as a manager, expect life and limb on the football pitch.
“As a player, that’s what I gave; that’s what I expect my players to give in every moment in every game.
“I don’t care what the scoreline is, I don’t care what the scenario is, that’s what I expect and that’s what these fans expect.
“If you drop down from that, then you are going to suffer a game like that.”
