Nice attempt, but people have sussed you out now, so nobody is stupid enough to give you a bite.

Keep trying though, you might get some one day.

What on earth are you going on about? Your paranoia is remarkable, what on earth is there to bite about in my post? Liverpool were dominated by Swansea for large sections of the game and would think themselves lucky to have drawn the game given the intense pressure Swansea had for the final 20 minutes of the game. Do you not agree? I then said that if Suarez hits the ground running they've got a good chance of continuing their run?

United were pretty decent tonight. Can't get over the sight of Fellaini in a United shirt though. It just doesn't suit the boy. He seems to be struggling from his usual pre-season weight issues as well, he looks very skinny and a yard off his best.

Interesting game last night. Shelvey clearly keen to prove the decision to flog him was wrong and possibly trying a bit too hard. Hard to argue with the positivity of his work going forward for Swansea though. He's got a lot of potential.

Shelvey's game was incredibly consistent with how he played for Liverpool. He's played pretty much the same way since I watched him play his first few games for us. He's got ability and strength, there are times where he can read play exceptionally well but he's woeful at the basics. For us, he'd make three incredible runs to create chances, he'd play some fantastic balls and have a few good efforts, but then you'd see him give the ball away to somebody ten yards away, you'd see him walking around the pitch baffled as to where he should be stood. When he played, the only name you'd hear from the touchline was Jonjo, after Brendan had to whistle to get his attention again and again. There's potential there because he's got ability and physical attributes that make him suited to the highest level, but until his brain comes on he'll never be a top player. Some will say Gerrard never had the brain at his age, but Gerrard was loads faster and better than him at every aspect of the game. It helps.

The counter-attack for Valencia's goal was superb, and Valencia himself was excellent. Should have been 5 but for a shocker of a miss from RVP. I can't imagine how many LFC fans went to bed last night, gutted that Moyes didn't lose, they probably lay in bed cuddling their pictures of Rafa

Paranoia? You obviously don't know me very well. The only thing that is remarkable is your p**spoor attempt at trolling. However, as I'm a nice guy, I shall reply to the parts of the post that are actually worth replying to and not the part you want people to reply to.

They certainly dominated us for the 2nd half. I wouldn't say they dominated us for the 1st half. The final 15 minutes or so, it was all Swansea, and from there on in, we were lucky to come away with a draw. Still undefeated though.

My comment above will answer that question.

IF he hits the ground running. It all depends on how Rodgers wants to use him when he returns. When he is on form, he is a veritable nightmare for defenders, and he can score goals, but the question is whether he has a clear head and is focused on his football, and not still pining for a move to Real Madrid and then doing something stupid to further damage his Liverpool career. The guys could score 40 goals and lead us to the PL title...I'd still consider him a grubby little t**t.

I wouldn't have watched it anyway, my hatred of all things ITV, Clive Tyldesley, Andy Townsend, Adrian Chiles stops me from it.

Which is not a bad thing.

He's not so special anymore.

I don't think there is anything wrong at Chelsea. They are a striker short of winning the title I reckon, which they can fix in January if Eto'o isn't working. The decision to let Lukaku leave on loan was a tad bizarre given how well he played last season and how well he played in pre-season. He could have been the 35 goals a season striker this season at Chelsea.

Losing at Everton isn't anything to worry about, plenty of the big teams have fallen there in recent years.

Another quick win would be to sell Luiz. He's just not got the discipline to play in any defensive position. Cahill and Terry works brilliantly, play them every game, rotated with Ivanovich if needed.

The main thing wrong at Chelsea is their best player is spending most of the games sitting on the bench.

FAO any Liverpool fans, can any of you guys offer tips on secure parking near Anfield? I've read about a place called Paradise Island Club near Goodison. Anyone used these?
Would massively appreciate any help because I've heard the stories / advice about not parking close to the ground so just want somewhere safe really (have no problem paying £5-£10 either). Cheers.
