Papiss Cisse has told protesting Newcastle United fans they're hurting the players.
Cisse saved manager Alan Pardew from coming under further fire when he struck twice to earn Newcastle a creditable point in the 2-2 draw at Swansea on Saturday.
"Yes, I know this moment is not easy for him," Cisse said later of Pardew's predicament.
"The team don't think about that one (protests) because the players just play.
"It is for the gaffer, but it's not good for the team.
"It's not easy for the players because it is the player playing the game.
"You have to believe in yourself and believe in the team.
"You have to keep going and work hard and maybe one day it will come good."
