Cisse's form will drop at some point suggests Newcastle's Pardew

Papiss Cisse's brilliant run of form will surely dip according to Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew.

The Senegal hitman has struck 13 goals in 12 Premier League appearances since arriving on Tyneside from German club Freiburg in the winter but Pardew has warned everyone that his form is unlikely to continue on in the same manner.

"It's early days - this is only half a season. His confidence is very, very high - at some point, it will be low, and that's when maybe me and my staff need to kick in," he said.

"At the moment, we are just running along with him. It's early days for Papiss and he has really hit the ground running."
