How Newcastle are going to replace a player of Yohan Cabaye’s calibre is anyone’s guess.
And they certainly didn't manage it on Saturday!
Alan Pardew: “We have lost a good player and have another who scores goals
“A lot of the play went through Yohan, so maybe we have to change our style.
“We have lost two of our big goalscoring options and we’re also without Fabricio Coloccini . They are massive players for us.
“You don’t want to lose 3-0 at home to your rivals and we have done it two years in a row.
“We have to take stock of today as we know how important it is to the fans, but that won’t wipe away the memory.
“We have to get ready for a tough game at Chelsea next week with a game plan that will work.”
