Nolan and Barton back for Pardew

ALAN PARDEW has named the starting line-up which Chris Hughton would normally have selected to start life as Newcastle United manager today.   With Kevin Nolan recalled after injury and Danny Guthrie left out to accomodate Joey Barton, Pardew sprang no surprises when he announced his team to face Liverpool. That means Sol Campbell and Steven Taylor continue at the heart of the defence, while Liverpool recall the fit again Fernando Torres in attack alongside David Ngog. There were a few hundred fans protesting against the Mike Ashley regime before the match at St James' Park, but it seemed the majority were keen to see how things start under Pardew.  NEWCASTLE UNITED: Krul; Simpson, Taylor, Campbell, Enrique; Barton, Nolan, Tiote, Gutierrez; Ameobi, Carroll. Subs: Harper (gk), Guthrie, Routledge, Lovenkrands, Perch, Smith, Ranger. LIVERPOOL (4-4-2): Reina; Johnson, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Konchesky; Kuyt, Lucas, Meireles, Rodriguez; Ngog, Torres. Subs: Jones (gk), Aurelio, Cole, Jovanovic, Babel, Poulsen, Kelly.
