I presume it will be a little bit like Klopp & Dortmund. We will clap him on to show our appreciation then get straight down to business

Maybe give him the Rafa-Rafa Benitez song near the end once we are 4-0 up tee hee

Rafa will get a great reception

I think we will make 7-8 changes (maybe more) again with Europa in mind. Klopp might keep our only fit striker Sturridge on the bench.

Rafa has already been back as the opposing manager.

v Chelsea when Suarez "bit" Ivanovic.

I think this is the last game where theres anything at stake for our oppenents and i think they will be desperate to get anything

they've also not won any of their last away games so....

i dunno... I think we'll need to score first.

They've got a lot to play for, it'll be a tight game I think.

Whether or not Rafa's been back before or comes back in the future, he'll get a good reception. However, whatever team Jurgen selects to play, they need to be focused and do more than just turn up. Rafa will be doing his homework on us and good form for us or not, if McLaren's side can beat us then so can Rafa's.

Will be a lot more difficult than last night against that joke team from Goodison.

Rafa has got them organised in his typical fashion, they are looking a lot better now. It's likely we will rotate again but I think we will win narrowly, playing well at the moment and this fixture at Anfield has been a home win for years and years.

I'm sure Rafa will try and set them up to spoil.

A good point would be a decent result for them really given how pathetic they are away.

They are targeting the home games to keep them up.

If we get in front then it should be relatively easily as heads will drop.

We will make a lot of changes though, probably be a similar team to that which started against Bournemouth.

I think Sturridge will start as would have been planned before the Origi injury, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Firmino start up front against Villarreal.

What we know about Rafa is he often outwits the opposition with an inferior side. We need to treat this game with the utmost respect.

I know Rafa will get a fantastic reception and quite rightly so.

This game will most likely be scrappy. Newcastle players are going to go hard into tackles and try to get at least a point. Anything less is not acceptable at this stage. I would say best play with a "B" team and avoid any injuries plus they will go out and run 110% and try to prove themselves for selection in Klopps squad next season ala Ojo, Allen etc. Is Benteke really not going to be fit for Saturday? Sturridge should not play at all. Firmino needs minutes as he is still finding his match sharpness and form after his injury. At least he is doing the dirty work and tracking back and pressing. He covers so much ground that guy.

I'm so happy we have JK but Rafa will always command respect at Anfield
