Newcastle United – Liverpool

1. Good evening everyone and welcome to what could be a feisty encounter between Newcastle and Liverpool. It is Alan Pardew's first game in charge of the Toon after Chris Hughton was cruelly discarded. There have been protests outside the ground already and there should be planet of animosity directed at Mike Ashley inside too.

2. Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Steven Taylor, Campbell, Jose Enrique, Barton, Nolan, Tiote, Gutierrez, Carroll, Ameobi. Subs: Harper, Guthrie, Routledge, Lovenkrands, Perch, Smith, Ranger.

3. Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Kyrgiakos, Skrtel, Konchesky, Kuyt, Meireles, Lucas, Maxi, Torres, Ngog. Subs: Jones, Aurelio, Cole, Jovanovic, Babel, Poulsen, Kelly.

4. One thing in Pardew's favour is the return of captain Kevin Nolan, and Joey Barton - his suspension is up but Toon centre backs Williamson and Colocinni are still out.

5. Torres is back for Liverpool, who are in decent form of late. Babel drops to the bench.

6. The Toon Army have massed outside the players' entrance and are letting Ashley know exactly what they think. That he is a total muppet when it comes to football. Hard to argue, really.

7. <i>Comment from my Dad at the match</i>: Big demo at the ground. Noisy but so far behaved. People are punch drunk with the madness of it all. After all, what has Pardew done to EARN such a job?

8. Newcastle's new manager - by virtue of visiting Derek Llambias' casino - says: "There will be a great atmosphere today, because there is that tension in the air. I'm bracing myself for a difficult reception. I'm not nervous, I know I can do my job and I'm good at it."

9. The teams trot out to a noisy reception...

10. Pardew comes out and heads right for his seat in the dugout as banners thanking Chris Hughton for his work are displayed at both ends of the ground.

11. 1'

    <b>KICK OFF</b> The game starts to a round of "Get out of our club," directed at you know who.

12. 2'

    A few decent early touches for Enrique before Tiote gives away a free kick.

13. 2'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/1211/cockneymafia20101210_275x155.jpg"> Newcastle fans vent their spleen before the match.

14. 3'

    Maxi Rodriguez finds some space in midfield but blasts a shot over from 25 yards.

15. 4'

    Ameobi and Carroll try to combine but the former's flick goes through to Reina.

16. 5'

    Ameobi battles with Krygiakos and Newcastle cross but Reina collects easily.

17. 6'

    Now a song of "There's only one Chris Hughton."

18. 7'

    Sol intervenes in midfield but then gifts the ball to Meireles. Torres is then flagged offside from the resulting ball forward.

19. 8'

    Lucas is clipped by Nolan and Liverpool have a free kick in the centre of the park.

20. 9'

    Johnson runs into the back of Enrique and gets a ridiculous free kick. Awful decision, even accounting for my bias.

21. 10'

    The free kick is turned back in and despite shouts for a penalty against Maxi, Krygiakos forces a parry from Krul with a shot from 12 yards.

22. 11'

    Barton flicks a ball into Nolan but his cross is cleared then Carroll is put in by Gutierrez but though he is clean through the lanky striker's control is poor and Reina clears.

    Torres can't collect Maxi's pass and Krul hoofs clear.

24. 13'

    Torres turns Campbell and wins a corner.

25. 14'

28. 15'

    The house mates combine! Barton stands it up for Carroll who knocks down for Nolan to finish at the near post.

29. 16'

    Not even a flicker from Pardew as the goal went in. Too cool for school.

30. 17'

    Barton flies in on Lucas, a very hard tackle but fair. Ish.

31. 18'

    That goal was far too easy for Newcastle and far too predictable. Carroll was left one-on-one and easily beat Krygiakos.

32. 19'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Johnson piles in on Gutierrez as he offloaded the ball and gets a needless booking.

33. 20'

    Barton's long ball into the area is nearly met by Campbell but it bounces through to Reina, who grabs at the second attempt.

34. 21'

    A half chance for Maxi as Johnson clips in a sweet ball but his header is awful.

39. 25'

40. 27'

    The ball gets stuck in the wall and then Torres pokes wide. It smashed into Carroll's midriff.

41. 28'

    Krygiakos leaps above Ameobi and both scream for a free kick. Its a home throw in.

42. 30'

    Nice interplay between Carroll and Ameobi but the former's powerful shot is right at Reina.

43. 31'

    Good covering from Campbell after Enrique lost the ball.

44. 32'

    Another lung-busting Johnson run comes to an end as he runs the ball out of play.

45. 33'

    Confusion at the back as Taylor headed a ball into the box that Krul came for. Campbell then blocks Ngog's shot and Liverpool have a corner.

46. 33'

    Now Enrique blocks Meireles' shot as the corner falls to him.

47. 34'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/images/2010/1211/nolanceleb20101211_275x155.jpg"> Nolan celebrates his goal.

49. 36'

    A terrible pass from Meireles hands the ball to Ameobi and his shot is deflected just wide off Krygiakos.

51. 38'

    Konchesky's cross is hacked clear by Stephen Taylor.

52. 39'

    Kuyt goes down clutching his face after an aerial challenge with Tiote. No booking for the snood-clad midfielder.

53. 40'

    Poor control from Ameobi, then Gutierrez but Newcastle rebuild and win a free kick as Krygiakos forearms Carroll in the back of head. He was watching the ball though. Same place as the goal came from.

54. 42'

    Barton went for Campbell this time but it didn't come off.

55. 43'

    Carroll truly is a beast in the air. Horrible to play against.

56. 44'

    Maxi wants a free kick after taking a tumble on the edge of the box with Campbell near. Didn't look like much contact. then Meireles' shot causes pinball in the box before Simpson hacks clear.

57. 45'

    Two minutes to be added...

58. 45'

    Good ball in from Konchesky but a fine clearing header from Enrique in his own six yard box. Liverpool win a corner.

59. 45'

    Meireles floats in a great ball and Krygiakos gets a free header from six yards out but glances wide of the target. What a chance to level things up. And that is half time.

60. 46'

    We begin again...

61. 47'

    Nice link up between Simpson and Barton but the cross is taken by Reina.

62. 48'

    The grinning chump Ashley is back in his seat.

63. 49'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> A mistake from Campbell and a deflected shot from Kuyt dribbles into the bottom corner.

64. 50'

    An awful mix up from Newcastle. A long ball was heading to Krul before Campbell lost the flight and the ball hit his back, then as Taylor came in to challenge Kuyt he had a hand in directing it into the corner.

65. 51'

    Torres gets his head on a Meireles cross but it loops to Krul. Newcastle will be kicking themselves.

66. 52'

    Torres should have scored. What a chance. A long ball dropped to him as Newcastle toiled and Krul pulls off a good low save.

67. 53'

    Campbell at fault again as he completely lost Torres. He looks terrible today.

68. 54'

    Liverpool are bound to score in a minute if Newcastle keep defending like this. Now Ngog fluffs a free header.

69. 55'

    Carroll plays in Ameobi but he controls it with his arm and hands Liverpool a free kick.

70. 56'

    Superb play from Carroll, who feeds Barton then gets on the end of the cross from seven yards out but nods over.

71. 57'

    Nolan gives the ball away, Torres takes it out of his feet and hits a shot just past the post.

72. 58'

    A real groan in the stands as Gutierrez plays an aimless ball behind for a goal kick. Things turning a little sour for Pardew now.

73. 59'

    Enrique finds Carroll but his close control is poor and Johnson jumps in.

74. 60'

    Carroll floats a ball for Ameobi but Skrtel nods coolly back to Reina.

75. 61'

    Looks like Nile Ranger is coming on.

76. 62'

    Ameobi is having a sit down on the pitch. A presume he is injured rather than knackered.

77. 63'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ameobi hobbles off and Ranger comes on.

78. 64'

    What a chance for Ranger! He muscles Skrtel out of the way and is in on Reina but fires narrowly wide. What a shame for the 19-year-old.

79. 65'

    Now Ranger skips round Krgiakos but his cross is right at Reina. The impetus Newcastle needed.

80. 66'

    Krygiakos bundles Carroll to the floor but no free kick given before Enrique outmuscles Torres and comes away with the ball before the ref pulls them back for a Newcastle free kick. He's had a shocker Lee Mason.

81. 67'

    Lovely control from Carroll, who feeds Gutierrez, but the Argentine's cross is long and poor.

82. 68'

    Ranger is rattling Liverpool's back line and nearly nicks the ball off Krygiakos again.

83. 69'

    Ngog is down with blood coming down his face. Think it was an aerial challenge.

84. 70'

    If was after a tackle from Ranger, but the elbow of Krygiakos made contact with Ngog. Torres has a go at Barton and now Barton is screaming obscenities at him.

85. 72'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Ngog stays off the field and Babel is on.

86. 73'

    Another free kick given against Ranger. The young lad can look a little clumsy in the challenge.

87. 74'

    Great work from Ranger as he wins the ball and gives it to Barton but as Carroll tries to meet the cross he pushes Johnson.

88. 75'

    Decent move from Newcastle as Ranger links to Tiote but he fires well over the bar from 20 yards.

89. 76'

    Gutierrez wins a free kick from Kuyt on the left.

90. 78'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Nice skill from Johnson and Gutierrez hauls him down. Free kick wide right.

91. 79'

    Carroll clears the free kick before Lucas has a woeful shot from range.

92. 80'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Barton pokes the ball home! Carroll wins a long ball, Skrtel can't get it from Ranger and Barton steals in to tap it under Reina.

93. 81'

    An awful goal to concede but again they couldn't deal with Carroll. Barton was quickest on the uptake while Johnson and Krygiakos dawdled.

94. 82'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Tiote gets a yellow for hauling down Torres as Campbell horribly misjudged a bouncing ball. Sol has been just pathetic.

95. 83'

    Now Carroll nods clear a Liverpool corner ahead of Campbell.

96. 84'

    Carroll jostles with Meireles but is judged to have fouled his opponent.

97. 85'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Jovanovic comes on for Maxi.

98. 86'

    Carroll fires it into Ranger's feet but he can't turn and shoot. Alan Smith is coming on.

99. 87'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Smith is on for skipper Nolan and takes the armband.

100. 88'

     Kuyt flicks on and Newcastle have a goal kick.

101. 89'

     Pinball in the box as Torres' shot is blcoked, then Taylor gets in front of Babel's cross and concedes a corner.

102. 90'

     Krul came to meet it but Johnson nods over in the melee. Four minutes added....

103. 91'

     <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Carroll fires one into the bottom corner from 20 yards! Liverpool backed off and he fizzes it into the net.

104. 92'

     Lucas was looking at Carroll but did nothing to meet him and Carroll had all the time in the world to set himself and hammer a shot into the net.

105. 93'

     <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Barton comes off to a big ovation and Routledge is on in his place.

106. 94'

     Pardew can't believe his luck. He was sacked by Southampton not long ago, now here he is beating Liverpool with Chris Hughton's team.

107. 94'

     <b>FULL TIME</b> Pardew heads straight down the tunnel as Ashley grins like a clown in the stands. Newcastle did enough to win, but Liverpool were poor at the back. Another round of "Get out of our club," rings round the ground as the players trudge off. Newcastle go above Liverpool in the table, into eighth.
