Couple of questions for the Liverpool fans on this board:
1. Are you looking forward to welcoming Rafa back to Anfield? What sort of reception do you think he'll get in the opposing dugout?
For me he deserves the warmest welcome back at Anfield, I know he's the current Chelsea boss and I still want his side to lose at Anfield of course but he did so much good at Liverpool, including standing up for the club against the cowboys.
2. Do you think we can beat Chelsea?
I'm really not confident about this game, we seem to have hit a patch of crap form and don't really have anything left to play for this season, sadly. Chelsea really need to kick on and I see them getting a result at Anfield this weekend.
3. What would be your line up?
For me I'd start Sturridge as he seemed to enjoy playing against his last former club in City so I think Downing will be on the bench again with Suarez and Coutinho joining Sturridge in the attack and Lucas, Gerrard and Hendo in midfield. We really need a better performance from Lucas than he's shown recently but he tends to shine in the big games.
What say you?
So, Chelsea then.

It wasn't childish, it was factual.

True enough, the board at the time had no interest in the football club beyond trying to make themselves rich and some of the board trying to play football manager.
They didnt represent the stakeholders of the club at all.

When we used to be a Champions League side.
===================
In fairness he joined us as a champions league side. A side that finished 2nd in the EPL a 3 years before. Not doing down his achievements but he didn't exactly drag us up by our bootstraps.
Sadly BR has a more difficult job.

1. Of course he will get a great reception. It's not even up for debate really.
2. I think we will win. Chelsea are dangerous obviously but they don't defend particularly well and the fact that we have little to play for doesn't really matter. The players know Chelsea is always a big game, so will perform, and Chelsea have had a fixture nightmare this season and are feeling it. We have a free week to prepare, they have had to play two games since we last played.
3. Sturridge has to start as a goal against Chelsea is exactly what he needs. The way to beat Chelsea is to get at them, so all out attack for me. They will probably score but we will score more.

He should and will get a great reception but once the game starts that's it, we should support our manager and our team!
Feel really confident, good record over Chelsea recently and I can see us winning!
I'd go with Sturridge, he's going to have something to prove to the chávs and I think he'll be up for it!
Hope Torres gets a dogs life as per usual!

1) He'll get a good reception for sure and rightly so.
2) I think we can beat Chelsea but don't think we will. Lucky to get a draw.
3) Same as yours.
