Newcastle United were plunged deeper into relegation trouble after Liverpool overcame the absence of Luis Suarez with a crushing 6-0 win at St James' Park.
Alan Pardew pulled no punches in his assessment of Newcastle's performance, especially on the back of defeat by Sunderland in their previous home game. "Unfortunately, we got a bad start to the game and we never got going," said Pardew. "It was an awful performance from us and as far as I'm concerned on the sidelines we'll have to do something about that for next week. "We have to stick together as a group and we have to get ourselves disciplined and organised for next week because we got run ragged today." Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers said: "We were brilliant, we were so clinical. It was a terrific start for us and to get that early goal really helps and gives you confidence. "We talked during the week about our penetration and we have some wonderful technicians, and there is a pace and youthfulness in the side. "To score six goals and keep a clean sheet, it was very important for us."
