Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer says Papiss Cisse is the man to fire them to Premier League safety.
Cisse has eased the growing pressure on Pardew with four goals in the last three games after returning from a broken kneecap.
Shearer told the Evening Chronicle: "It's good to see him back amongst the goals.
"He had a poor season last year.
"We know he can score them."
