Going to be tough to get a result at Anfield, they'll be right up for the game given the recent news.

Think we should win because Liverpool don't look too good. But we seem to play shit at Anfield all the time now.

SCORE DRAW.

Nope and I won't. Because if I do, we won't score.

It'll be a score draw though.

I'll be surprised if we win.

It's Liverpools cup final and they raise their game 20 times above their normal level, we should match that but we really don't seem to treat it like a game thats much different to any other.

We're good enough to win comfortably, but we won't.

I'm expecting Stevie G to do his usual thing and put in his only top performance of the season. A good thrashing would be unlikely, but hilarious.

I'm not sure if this is a serious post or you're just trying to be cute.

Either way it made me laugh.

I'm serious.

We're a better team than you, we should beat you.

The fact I don't think we will is because you raise your game for the derby, we don't.

I'm not saying it's good we don't, I would love nothing more than to give you a drubbing, just that I don't think our lot have the same hunger or desire for the derby as your players.

To me it sounds like your tone is 'the only reason we don't beat you is because we don't try hard enough'. For the past few years you've either shown up with a negative team to try and take a point or you've been outplayed, regardless of effort.

May as well get your excuses in early though eh?
(Please don't quote me on that - I think its probably end of the line for our good form against you)

It's true we usually do save our best performances against sides like Man U, City, Chelsea but given what we showed against Arsenal I just don't know anymore. I'm putting it down to much of the old guard not used to Rodgers style yet and once everyone is comfortable with it we will make a late surge. I just hope it's not left too late.

Which is exactly my point, you turn up and consistently and regularly put in your performance of the season against us, we barely perform at a level above much more than rank average.

Unless you think that Liverpool at their best are better than us at our best then I'm not sure you even really disagree with me.

Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup says he sees no problem with teams paying rival sides to win games.

The Dane stressed he was completely against "match fixing", but believes the term needs to be "better defined".

Laudrup was asked about the issue by a journalist working for European media organisations at a news conference.
He said: "If Swansea play the last game against a team and a third team pays Swansea to win the game, I really don't see anything bad about that."
The scenario Laudrup describes could involve a club in the relegation zone paying a team a bonus if they beat one of their closest rivals, enabling the threatened club to stay up.

Laudrup, who has 104 caps and 37 goals for Denmark, was asked the question because he played for Lazio and Juventus in the 1980s, and Italian football continues to be dogged by match-fixing claims.

As many as 13 Italian clubs - mainly from the second division - are under investigation. Juventus coach Antonio Conte was given a 10-month suspension in August for not reporting alleged match-fixing in two games involving ex-club Siena in the 2010-11 season. He denies the claims and is appealing.

Laudrup, 48, said players guilty of being paid to lose should be banned from the game for life instead of being given fixed-term bans.

He said: "To say I'm against that [match-fixing] is like saying today it's Thursday - it's obvious.

"The worst match fixing I've heard was what happened in Italy before I came there in the beginning of the 80s, where somebody bought three or four of the players in a team to lose a game.

"That means that seven or eight players in a team were playing to win, like normal, and three or four of them just to lose."

However Laudrup has no issue with what is known in Spanish football as the "suitcases" culture.

"It's just a bonus. For me, match-fixing is somebody pays someone to lose a game," he said.

"In Spain where there's one or two matches left in a season we always talked about the suitcases.

"But the suitcases is to win - I don't see anything bad about that.

"I think we have to define very well what is match-fixing because there's different levels, I think."

Surely the team should be trying their hardest to win no matter what? Why should a bonus change that?

I think he means more like at the end of the season with 'mid-table' teams not having much to play for.

I know, but they should be professional and try their best to win regardless. It's not like they're not getting paid enough anyway, surely they should be motivated by impressing their fans/manager and by not losing to some team who are barely staying up.

Swansea 0 Everton 1 - Anichebe

Everton should have about 5 goals already, destroying Swansea.
