<p>Rafa Benitez made his Anfield return with a team Liverpool fans don't hate, and was appreciative of the very warm welcome he received. </p> <p></p>
<p>Despite not having managed <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool</a> FC in nearly six years, Rafa Benitez remains a popular figure on Merseyside. The man at the helm of the club's 2005 Champions League winning side returned to Anfield on Saturday with his relegation-fighting club <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com/">Newcastle</a> United and was greeted to a rousing hello from fans of his former side.</p>
<p>"It's very emotional," <a target="_blank" href="http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/former-liverpool-fc-manager-rafael-11232363">Benitez said</a> after the match that ended in a 2-2 draw. "The fans, the city, the club - I have a very good relationship with Liverpool obviously. My family still live here.</p>
<p>"It was emotional because the Liverpool fans were singing my name and afterwards the Newcastle fans were singing my name so really pleased to have this reaction and really pleased to get a point against a very good team. Hopefully now they can do well in the Europa League."</p>
<p>If it was Rafa's aim to provoke a reaction that might help Liverpool dig deep and rediscover the form they've been in for the last month for their Europa League match against Villareal on Thursday, then mission accomplished. Liverpool will need to muster more than what they left out on the pitch on Saturday if they want to come away with a positive result, but they'll take heart in knowing at least one Spaniard will be rooting for them.</p>

<p>Against the visiting Newcastle, Liverpool welcomed back some old friends in the form of Rafa Benítez, hesitant goalkeeping, and the mysterious evaporating two-goal lead. </p> <blockquote>
<p><b>Liverpool 2 </b><i>Sturridge 2', Lallana 30'</i><br><b>Newcastle 2 </b><i>Cissé 48', Colback 66'</i></p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">Rafa Benítez has accumulated more than his share of frequent flyer miles since he parted ways with <a style="background-color: #ffffff;" class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool</a> in 2010. There have been stops at Inter, Napoli, <a style="background-color: #ffffff;" class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/">Chelsea</a>, and most notably Real Madrid, before the former Liverpool manager took on the herculean task of restoring stability to a floundering <a style="background-color: #ffffff;" class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com/">Newcastle</a> side.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">There were some parallels on this occasion to Jürgen Klopp's Europa League return to the <strike>Westfalenstadion</strike> Signal Iduna Park - a manager returning with a new club to a ground where a lot of magical memories were forged - but Liverpool supporters were hoping that would be where the similarities would end. No dramatic cup elimination this time, but in fighting back to salvage a 2-2 stalemate, Newcastle did just enough damage to halt some of the momentum that Klopp's squad had been building up, and may have closed the book on a Liverpool top four finish. In fairness, this is a book that has been opened and closed and opened and closed more times in recent weeks than <i>Ulysses </i>being read by a fifteen year-old.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">In the end, it was a familiar mix of ingredients that cost Liverpool the full three points at Anfield. There were savvy substitutions from a former manager who knows a thing or two about turning things around at half time. There were some panicky moments in goal, none more costly than an unsuccessful attempt by Mignolet to reach a cross. And there was a brief spell in the opening exchanges of the second half during which the entire Liverpool side appeared oddly becalmed, allowing Newcastle the opening to climb back into the match.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">Things had started much more promisingly. The Anfield faithful were able to celebrate a perfect start just 68 seconds into proceedings. From an early free kick, the ball was lofted past a snoozing Newcastle and towards <span>Daniel Sturridge</span>. The Liverpool striker, hovering between two central defenders, took a split-second to control and another to pivot before firing the hosts to a one goal lead. Sturridge's form of late has been incandescent, and in Origi's absence, his fortunes will no doubt play a big role in deciding whether Liverpool have something to celebrate over the summer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">In that moment, Liverpool seized control of the contest and did not surrender it during the first half, though there were a couple of worrying instances on the fitness front. Seemingly untouched, Moreno appeared to have an issue with his knee that required attention, while minutes later Lovren was briefly laid low by a stray elbow to the throat. Liverpool can ill afford another key casualty, following a string of high profile injuries and questions around Mamadou Sakho's future availability. Fortunately, both players were ultimately able to continue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">Despite the changes in personnel, the first half was as clear an expression of Klopp's blueprint as you will likely see during the manager's first season. There was minimal dithering in possession, intelligent movement from the forward players, and a singleminded focus on ball recovery when posesssion was lost. It is a testament to the strides this squad has made when they are as recognizable without the ball as they are with the ball.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">At the half hour mark, a great ball by Firmino allowed a marauding Moreno to race forward with menace. The fullback found Lallana in a central position, who did very well to make space for himself before directing a curling guided missile past the helpless Karl Darlow. Lallana has always been able to conjure moments where he seems like a video game character unencumbered by the laws of physics, and he was at his mercurial best early in this match.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">Newcastle were, however, far from being the hapless visitors that <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/">Everton</a> were earlier in the week, and they had their moments too as the first half wound down. <span>Andros Townsend</span> was an ever present and willing runner, while <span>Vurnon Anita</span> had an opportunity that was blasted miles over the bar when there were other options available.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="border: 5px solid white; text-align: -webkit-center;" src="http://cdn1.sbnation.com/images/blog/star-divide.v5e9d7f1.jpg" alt="liverpool blog fc sbn"></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">Benítez was able to build on these themes after the restart, beginning with the introduction of Georginio Wijnaldum for Ayoze Pérez. There was flat start to the second half by the home side, appropriately presaged by the crowd's attempt to initiate a song, which petered out into a murmur. Liverpool likewise seemed hesitant, and this hesitancy was punished immediately by Newcastle. A quick cross from the right, which Mignolet came for but did not reach, and Cissé headed home to halve the advantage.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">There was more distress to come for the hosts. After a Sturridge penalty appeal went unanswered, Newcastle were able to break forward in numbers, and with Mignolet and the goal at his mercy, Cissé was unable to commit to decisive action, and the chance evaporated. Thoughts immediately turned to <i>that match</i> against <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://stmarysmusings.sbnation.com/">Southampton</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1">Newcastle was happy to revive those memories. On another delayed break, Townsend once again got himself into an excellent position on the right, and the Liverpool were not quite able get themselves sorted out before Jack Colback's shot took a deflection on its way into the net. Despite the sudden parity, one sensed that disaster was not inevitable, and the points were still very much there for the taking.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;" class="p1"><span>Philippe Coutinho</span>, <span>Lucas Leiva</span> and Sheyi Ojo made their eventual appearances in the second half, coming on for Connor Randall, <span>Joe Allen</span> and Lallana. Randall, despite being a more than willing servant, was second-best on a few critical occasions on this day, and Nathaniel Clyne's absence was noticeable. While Allen and Lallana did solid work all over the pitch, Klopp may have sensed a need to maximize the goalscoring threat before Newcastle receded completely into their shell. It seemed like Coutinho and Ojo might have been the winning lottery numbers, but it was not to be. Credit must go to Newcastle and Benítez for holding firm in the final stages of the match. For Liverpool, there is some soul-searching to be done around how this one got away, but there will not be a lot of time to do it. Villareal awaits.</p>

<p>With a draw against Newcastle United in the books, we want to know how you would rank Liverpool's performers and who your Man of the Match is.
</p> <p>Rafa Benitez returned to Anfield with a relegation battling <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com/">Newcastle</a> United side that managed to claw back a draw from a two goal deficit, breathing new life into their campaign to continue playing first division football. A pair of lovely goals from <span>Adam Lallana</span> and <span>Daniel Sturridge</span> were not enough on the day to counteract an otherwise uninspiring match. They can't all be 4-goal thrillers. </p>
<p>Now let us know how you saw things. Clicking the thumbs up button is a vote to move the player up the list-or to help keep them on top. Hitting thumbs down is a vote to push that player closer to the bottom. It's half Man of the Match poll and half player rankings, and we want to use it to find out who you think played well after each <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool</a> match and, at the other end, who you'd maybe like to see given the next game off.</p>
<p>At the end of the month we'll go back through the results of that month's Ranker polls to hold a Player of the Month vote. Then, at the end of the season, the monthly results will help to determine The Liverpool Offside's Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season. </p>

</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<b>Pregame</b>: Can this run in get any more complicated for Klopp? Sure, no Sakho, no Origi, no Emre, no Henderson, but that still leaves a vast majority of the first team squad available for injury and suspension! We have plenty of nice things left to take!! Blast ye gods!!!!!!<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<b>GOAL</b> Allen gets a shove in the back which resets play and Alby Moreno pops one into the box for Sturridge to control with his back to goal and two centerbacks on him. One smooth swivel and take later, and the ball's in the net. <br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Firmino's first touch was excellent, his first dribble was not. The stop/go form continues then.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<span>Jack Colback</span> reminds us that Brodie from Homeland might be the next James Bond. No way you can have a ginger 007, right? Our vote's for Stringer Bell, anyway.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Moreno down and making "this part went this way, that part went that way" gesticulations in his description to the physio. SEE, PLENTY OF NICE THINGS LEFT TO TAKE!<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Cisse drops Lovren with a reverse clothesline. Bit of an overreaction from Dejan. <br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">They really need to give us that end to end camera angle more often. Sturridge's pop from 30 yards was about 5000 times more impressive when you see the action on the ball.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<span>Andros Townsend</span> looks like he could be Lewis Hamilton's cousin. Just further along with the balding pattern.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Been a few minutes since Moreno went down, and while he seems ok, he does keep messing with his shinguard, and pulling up ever so slightly. One to watch.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Lallana with a gorgeous backheel to release Milly, but his chip over the top for Studge goes out. One more goal this half kills the game.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<b>GOAL </b>JUST A CASUAL LEFT FOOTED TOP SHELF NO BACKLIFT FINISH FROM ADAM LALLAMBCHOPS GUYS, NO BIG DEAL. NO BIG DEAL.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Firmino turns Mbemba in the box gorgeously, but the defender recovers well on a must have tackle.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Darlow goes a bit daffy and rolls the ball out to his right back, with Sturridge standing literally in front of him. Bounces off the England striker tamely, but any more zest on that and it would have gone into goal.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<b>Halftime: </b>Well, Newcastle definitely look deflated thus far, and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://liverpooloffside.sbnation.com/">Liverpool's</a> rotational options continue to repay their gaffer with steady performances. Crazy what happens when you have confidence in your players. Our halftime team talk involves leftover homemade fish fry and some earl grey.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<b>GOAL</b> Half opens up with decent build up from Newcastle leading to a nice outswinging ball that Cisse gets his head onto. Mignolet pretty atrocious in reacting to the ball, and then not actually getting where he needed to be when he went. No way Liverpool repeat <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://stmarysmusings.sbnation.com/">Southampton</a>, right?<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">We're not worried. Not like Newcastle are a desperate relegation battling side with a manager who knows a thing or two about comebacks.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Penatly shout for Sturridge turns into a break by Newcastle that Mignolet kinda, sorta does a better job with on coming out low, giving Cisse just enough bodies in his way that he can get a clear shot. This just turned into a ball game, folks.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Operation: Anfield Exercise comes and goes, and Liverpool have weathered the storm a bit.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">
<b>GOAL</b> Or have they? Newcastly with a good delayed break that Toure and Allen can't quite combine to snuff out initially, then the rest of the defense don't react to Townsends ball in, and Colback gets his goal.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">So... Southampton? Is this really happening again? But Skrtel's not on the pitch, how is this possible?<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Lucas and Coutinho on for Randall and Wee Joe, shifting Milner back to RB, and the same overall shape everywhere else. Rafa brings on Mitrovic for Cisse as Newcastle look to secure a precious result.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Lucas with a critical tackle to break up a two on one break for Newcastle, followed up by a confusing decision with his header on a subsequent corner kick.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Stewart beats Moreno to a follow up with a hideous blast into the stands. That is the type of stuff that gets you yanked from the starting lineup, youngin.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Last roll of the dice from Klopp with Sheyi Ojo coming on for Lallana, and JonathanJoseph Shelvey comes on for Tiote.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Shelvey faffs up a chance to set something up on one end, and the ball breaks to Coutinho beautifully from 10 yards out, but poor execution puts paid to the chance.<br><br>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="justify">Liverpool's loss is Rafa's gain in this one. Wouldn't hurt so bad if there weren't so many others like it all season. <i>/Sigh.</i>
</div>

<p>Five questions to pass the time as we wait for kick off from Anfield.</p> <p>1) Does our second favourite CB pairing of <span>Lucas Leiva</span> and Kolo Toure get the call to the big show tomorrow?</p>
<p>2) Fill in the blank: <span>Joe Allen</span> and ______________________?</p>
<p>3) <span>Daniel Sturridge</span> and <span>Roberto Firmino</span>: who starts and who comes off the bench?</p>
<p>4) Will any of the kids get any minutes?</p>
<p>5) Final score?</p>
<p>Bonus: What is the weirdest scar you have and how did you get it?</p>
