Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has played down talk of qualifying for Europe.
It was back in 2012 that the Magpies finished fifth, although Pardew feels this team is more about pace on the break compared to the domination of that vintage.
"This is a different squad and it has not got the experience of that team," he said.
"Possession was the key to that team and this is slightly different. We can still win games, but we do not control the game in terms of possession.
"Instead, we have some real assets in the team in terms of pace and exuberance."
