Liverpool FC's planning application for its new ground is expected to go before the city council's planning committee for consideration within a matter of weeks.
A club spokesman last night said: "We are surprised to hear these comments this afternoon. As far as we are concerned, the position has not changed.
"We have submitted a planning application for a new stadium based on a single club use and we have also written to the NWDA to reiterate that point."
He added that the club's proposals would bring huge regeneration to north Liverpool and that talk of a shared ground was a "red herring".
The spokesman said: "Liverpool have been working with both the city council and the local community for the past five years on a project which we always saw as the catalyst for the regeneration of the whole of north Liverpool.
"Talk of a shared stadium in terms of the benefits that this would bring to the whole community is nothing more than a red herring."
The NWDA has confirmed that £20m would be available to improve infrastructure, transport, housing and community facilities in the area surrounding any future shared stadium.
Earlier this month, Everton's new chief executive, Trevor Birch, announced he would make a formal approach to Liverpool about a ground-share.
A spokesman for Everton said: "Talks are ongoing and have been for sometime. We have always made it clear and our new chief executive, Trevor Birch, has made it clear that a shared stadium is the way forward not only for Everton but also for Liverpool.
"We have already signed up to it."
The majority of Everton and Liverpool fans have made it clear they would not support any plan to share a stadium with their closest rivals.
Reflecting the Goodison Park side's poor Premiership showing last season, Les Lawson, secretary of the official Liverpool Supporters Club, said: "Why would we want to share with a potential first division club?
"They cannot afford to do their own stadium - why should we throw away everything we have achieved with our plans just because they have fallen on hard times?
"If they really want be part of our plans, then they can give us Wayne Rooney in return."
Ian MacDonald, spokesman for the Independent Everton Supporters Club, said: "We should not be discussing a stadium share when we are a club staring into the abyss.
"We could build a new stand at Goodison for £7.5m. I would rather that, than selling our identity and risk being known as the club which shares a ground with Liverpool."
