Anybody else here watch Redmen TV on Youtube?
They brought up that much of the ground was quiet last night.
Hardly no atmosphere in the Kop.
Anfield road end wasn't bad apparently but much of the ground seemed muted.
Only came alive when the likes of Lovren made a mistake to hurl abuse at him.
I just cannot for the life of me understand that attitude.
I know we all criticise on here but when you go to a match you should bloody support the players and try to intimidate the opposition.
I will knock players when they're poor and make silly errors as it's borderline criminal to be paid 100k a week to put up with that $hite but when the "fans" are getting on players backs, it needs to be called out too. It nearly destroyed Lucas.
For goodness sake, if you can go to a match, spend your energy encouraging our players and booing the opposition players, sing your heart out but stop getting on your own player's backs. You're likely the cause of many errors if you abuse them as the players will be so nervous they'll be just anticipating a mistake every time the ball comes to them.
Have your opinions after but support them for the 90 minutes for god's sake!

I saw the seville players lined up on the pitch before kick off and anfield was singing "you'll never walk alone" the seville players looked genuinely scared. Wasn't at the game so I can't comment but ynwa sounded full of passion.

I watched the match on Tuesday night with my 12 year old on the tele and he picked out the disgusting defending that was being displayed without me murmuring a word.

I've only booed the opposition once in my life 🤝

Can't see the point.

Part of the pantomime Ron!
It's only a bit of fun, I'm not talking about abusing them. Regardless, why are Liverpool "fans" abusing our own players?
How in any way will that encourage them?
I'd turn around and tell the fans to sod right off, luckily I'm not a player eh.

Not true Olrish mate.

I sit on the Kop, was there last night and whilst it wasn't a bouncing Anfield, we certainly didn't boo Lovren. Yes there's no and and groans but that's the way it goes.

What you can feel mate is tension, especially if there's only one goal in it! I don't need to explain why.

I was on the anfield road lower last night, atmosphere wasn't great, was better against hoffenheim, I heard one bloke moaning at Moreno constantly and a group in front booed when Coutinho came on. I do think the fans are making the nervousness worse at the back but it's hard after what has happened so many times in recent times.

Drogie, I didn't say he was booed.
I said he was abused!
This was from people in the Kop.
Go to YT and listen to the rant about it.
It shouldn't be a case of "that's the way it goes".
Why is acceptable to abuse your own players?
It's disgusting and the people who do it should stay at home, let real "Supporters" go and support our team while they fight to win an important match for us.
I'm not saying you abuse the players by the way, I'm speaking generally.
You're (again not referring to you specifically) not a supporter if you abuse your players - supporters support, yes or no?

Only booed once Ron? I've never booed, but happily shouted abuse at Gary Neville a few times. He actually took it quite well the bas***d. Even gave us a smile and a wink once.

Hate it when people refer to being in Istanbul. I was 10,000 miles away at 6am waking the entire house of non footy-lovers who thought I'd gone mental.

My bad 007, it felt like Tuesday.

Sometimes one loses track of the days.

OlIrish I think you need to re read my post too. I didn't say it's acceptable to abuse you're own players. If you look, I said there's always few moans amd groans and that's the way it goes, nothing referring to abuse mate. A shot can go flying into row z and you'll hear a few groans.

I do get your point re being abusive towards players it's not right.

One thing I will say is that quite often on Cup games, you don't always get your own seat, this has happened to me on a number of occasions, Last night for instance there were a number of faces sat around me that I didn't recognise.

In all the years I've had my seat and especially when we used to stand, I've never heard abuse towards players, maybe these are one off fans attending the match with a few too many beers inside them? I don't know mate.

Swapped my kop ticket a while back to sit in the new stand and have to say all the noise came from the Scandinavians in the left of that stand the kop was too quiet! And that's where the noise has come all games.

Heavens bless you, Olirish. I watched that Redmen TV show as well and I was actually about to post about it. The boys were not wrong at all. For full disclosure, I have never been to Anfield BUT I could tell that the atmosphere was not great from the TV unlike the Hoff game where you could here the noise thru the TV. I also agree that some of our fans reigning abuse on our players, is just disgusting and unacceptable. I know this happens at other grounds BUT I don't care what happens with other teams.

Take Karius for example. he was being hounded EVERY time the ball was passed back to him. I understand that some are afraid he would screw up BUT moaning every time will definitely not help. I think they do this cos they want him to fail so they can say, "See, He's crap" whereas Karius withstood all the moaning and had a very good outing even tho he had no saves to make.

Also, it seems that many fans are unable to forgive certain players for making errors. Lovren was getting abused (said the Redmen) for doing the exact thing Matip did (taking the ball forward form the back) and like Karius, he is being targeted by a part of our fan base who seem to give certain other players a pass if they screw up BUT not others. This is killing our club and needs to end. I may not like Lovren or other players as I think they are not good enough BUT never will I root for that player to fail just so I can be right.

OIrish is right. If you can't support our players for 90 mins come hell or high water, what the heck are you doing at the ground? And if it is to abuse our players and make them nervous then stay home or give your ticket to someone like me who will lose my voice supporting them till the end. That is just pathetic (I don't care what happened before the game or in recent times) and needs to end.

No problem Drogie.
Like I said I'm certainly not targeting you and was just pointing out that it's unacceptable behaviour from whoever does abuse our players.
We're all on the same team and page here it seems pretty much Drogie mate!
Good post Bingo!
Jay, the casual day trippers are killing the atmosphere at times yeah.
