Newcastle United goalkeeper Tim Krul insists the departure of former manager Alan Pardew has not unsettled the players.

Krul feels that life has been pretty normal in the dressing room since Alan Pardew departed for Crystal Palace.

He said after the 2-0 loss to the Premier League leaders: "Not much has changed.

"John (Carver) has always been influential with the boys.

"He's just been really honest with us and we all know what to do.

"Everybody knows their jobs.

"Everybody is fighting for each other and we had a great game plan and it nearly came off."
