Pardew Says Barton Missed Chance To Get Us A Point

Alan Pardew felt Joey Barton's miss seconds after the interval ended up having an influence on the rest of the match. Alan Pardew: "I thought the second goal was crucial in the game. "We took the game to them after the first goal but couldn't quite find a moment in the box before half-time. "We had a good chance with Joey (Barton) just after half-time and I would expect him to score that. "If we had scored that would Liverpool have been able to break out of the slumber we have got them in? "Unfortunately for us Mike Williamson made a mistake which cost us the second goal, albeit outside the box by the looks of it."
