James Perch thinks Newcastle United will be surprising their rivals with their strength in depth this season.
Perch is also thankful for the backing he has received from Pardew after joining Davide Santon in making the most starts for Newcastle so far this season. "The gaffer has put a lot of faith in me and I owe him a lot," said Perch ahead of Sunday's trip to Liverpool in the Premier League. "When he first came, I was out of the picture in the first team. But he stuck with me and I stuck at it. I owe him so much. I am just so glad to have got so many games under my belt."
