Exactly - Everton had just 4 attempts on goal and miraculously scored 3, despite putting us under no pressure at all at any stage of the game. Meanwhile we hit the woodwork twice and have a blatant handball penalty ignored. Battered?? Some of our so-called fans should have a word with themselves If it depresses you that much why don't you just stop watching them and give us a break from your perpetual whingeing? What are you trying to prove? With "fans" like you who needs bluenoses and mancs?

And whi in God's name would we want to take on the vastly over-rated Chelsea flop Wright Phillips in the frist place?

My God your posts on different forums are depressingly similar. Why do you bother watching Liverpool?

Hansen was the nearest a British player ever got to the great Franz Beckenbauer. He'd walk into any top team today. Hyypia's light years behind him - good player that he is in his own right

...as was Lawrenson Gillespie was a fine player who would keep the excellent Mark Lawrenson out of the centre-back berth in time. Before one of our 80s Cup Finals Dalglish made it clear who was in pole position when interviewed on TV before the game, saying "..Lawrenson will play in Gary Gillespie's position..." - it's that long ago now I can't remember the details, but presumably the excellent Lawrenson (superior to Hyypia) was injured/suspended

I'm sorry but Fowler would struggle to get in the top 40 or 50, unless you've only been watching us for the duration of his career I saw them all play live week in, week out, so it's an insult to them when the likes of Fowler gets put in any list of the top 5 all-time players. Any list of top 5 players in the last 40 years, say, that excludes just Emlyn Hughes (never mind other superb players of that era) is a joke. Someone on here even mentioned Carragher - please!

Emlyn Hughes and Tommy Smith would have to be in there and Peter Thompson was a better left-winger than Barnes

To be honest there are probably only about three days a year when you can't play football outdoors in England. We have an extremely mild climate with no temperature excesses at either end of the scale. It's not as if we're snowbound in the winter like great swathes of northern Europe and North America. In fact winter has become an extension of autumn with snow a very rare occurrence. On Christmas Day - the middle of winter - I expect to be able to nip along to my local pub in a T-shirt like most years. It gets very nippy in Madrid in winter at 5000 feet above sea level and they seem to cope too, so I would disagree that there's much, if any, difference in opportunities for playing

My mate picked up an OBE in this year's birthday honours - true - and he's deadly in our six-a-sides

So what? I don't support Accrington Stanley. If it helps Liverpool, who cares about the effect on small clubs with no fans? The league isn't a workers' co-operative

It'll never happen. It's an open and shut case of "restraint of trade", so it's illegal

We shouldn't fall into the trap of quoting Premiership records. That just valdidates the Sky view that football only started when they got the TV rights. The Premiership is just the old First Division by another name - no more, no less

Totally irrelevant to the forthcoming games, but thank you for reminding us

If I may use your rather pithy expression it's absolute b******s to suggest not eating for 6-7 hours would affect his performance in some dramatic way. On the contrary I thought his perfomances were immense during the period, which defeats the argument. Slow-release carbohydrates abound in the foods available to him. He'll obviously feel peckish but he's a big lad and no doubt pigs out as soon as he can afterwards. Humans aren't machines that need fuel to burn instantly or they don't work. The body has evolved over millennia to store food and release energy later. We couldn't function otherwise.

I'm glad to see they're keeping it authentically Pakistani with that old Portuguese favourite peri peri chicken!

Another tired old myth - the season immediately before we signed him Crouch scored 7 headers, which was more than any other premiership player. Not bad for someone who can't head and far better than other strikers who supposedly can

Frequently a below-capacity attendance will be when we play a mediocre team with no large fan-base from the other end of the country who don't use up their allocation

As I've said before the current stadium is an entirely new stadium to the one we had 40 years ago and no-one's clamouring to bring that one back - tradition, heritage, 54,000 crowds and all. Anfield's sadly dated and inadequate and the sooner we get the new stadium the better

All speculation is irrelevant really. It's as fatuous to declare for no other reason than it's your opinion that we can bridge the gap as it is for those who declare with certainty that we can't. 21 games to go - anything can happen; but I've no more idea than anyone else Chelsea away, Arsenal away and us away for starters They didn't win on goal difference. Goal difference was identical with ours. They won it on scoring more goals than we did Please accept the prize for funniest post of the day. Hargreaves = thinking man's Carrick. Larsson = thinking man's Heskey (as well as being about 57)

Fowler's terrible at penalties. When he and Owen were here together they would compete at missing the most

Have you ever considered the possibility that not everyone has the time or money to go to Eastern Europe whereas Belgium and Holland are a lot closer? I've done European trips going back 40 years but don't bother much now. Doesn't make me a gloryhunter coming out of the woodwork when I make my occasional foray, like Roma in the 2001 UEFA Cup. It's all about choice

He also says that they'll give £160m for the club's shares, but the only ones available are Moores' 51%

Highbury was a complete and utter dump. I've been there many times. Do you seriously think any Arsenal fan wishes they still played there rather than their current excellent new stadium? Every single part of Anfield has been rebuilt since I started going, so it bears no relation to the stadium of my youth - it's a vast improvement. However it's too small and the new stadium design is spot-on as well as giving us another 15,000 people per game. I can't wait for us to move. We adapted readily to the new Anfield compared with the dump it was when I was a kid and we'll adapt to the new stadium too. I've onl'y seen that at Mickey Mouse clubs like Millwall's New Den and Luton's ground. I don't think any top Premiership club allows people to sit outside their box Chinois is French for Chinaman. I didn't know they were edible
