Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew refused to get down after defeat to Liverpool.

Despite the loss, Pardew heaped praise on his side for what they have achieved this year.

He said: "We've done brilliant, we've got some very good players and we've had a really really good calendar year. We need to take that now into next year, and if we do anything like this last year, we may surprise ourselves and the opposition in the league.

"We're still in a good position even though we were beaten tonight."
