Pardew Admits Defeat

Alan Pardew had hoped to have a replacement for left-back Jose Enrique before the trip to Wearside ... but that ain't gonna happen. Alan Pardew: "Everybody knows we need a left-back and it's being made difficult, not by us, but by other clubs and we have to get over that. "It could be that something gets done before the game, but I don't think I would include him even if it did because this game is a game you need to know about and you need to be prepared for."
