Everybody banging on about the fans leaving early and Anfield being quiet.
I don't like it either but the problem that all of you are missing is it's the players job to lift the crowd, and the crowd are frustrated.
The main reason for this is the HUGE mistakes that have been made in the transfer market.
We've seen Liverpool slowly decline In quality over the last 7/8 years.
You can't keep selling your best players and expect results.
Reina, hyypia, carragher, agger, mascherano, Alonso, kuyt, Gerrard, Torres, Suarez, sterling.
This is some top top quality that hasn't been replaced.
So we've gone from being optimistic about who we might sign to a coutinho is going to leave soon attitude.
It's very hard to stay positive.
Weather people want to admit it or not our current team is just not good enough, the only players who should be starting are
Sakho, Henderson, coutinho and sturridge.
We need upgrades in all the other positions.
The good thing is we now have a manager who will already know that, and be making plans for the summer.

My 2 penneth:
I don't know why; with a new manager all the positive vibes, the players looking fitter and more committed ; we as a fanbase are digging lumps out of each other.
It's one defeat, straight after a long trip back from a crucial win in Russia. We are acting like neurotic psychopaths. Does anyone really think Klopp pointed his frustration out so that the fans could start having digs at each other? Does anyone really think he wants to cause division amongst the supporters? Whether it's dissatisfied locals or day trippers, we're all united by our commitment to the club.
Get a friggin grip and stick to discussing the football. That's what brings us to sites like this afterall.

Stoke were one of the loudest grounds in the prem for years, with few or no 'star' players.
Its about the fans who want to sing being split up all over the ground, and feeling a bit daft being the only people singing for a few rows around them.
As soon as they introduce a singing section, that section will be singing for most of the game, like the away fans do when they are all bunched together.

Anyone who has the privalige to be at Anfield for a match should in the least stay the match. Win or lose. When I finally do make it I'll need to be escorted away, I wouldn't dream of walking away while there is still time on the clock. Especially when the team needs us the most. I wouldn't care if they were 10 nil down, I'd stay and support and make a point to hold my head high. It really is just that simple.
{Ed007's Note - As a supporter you expect players to give their all, why shouldn't players expect the same back?}
10 Nov 2015 02:24:02
Hi Ed007,because the fans are paying tics.
{Ed001's Note - and?}

Klopp, I don't know who you are but your post is pathetic. The players need the fans as much as the fans need the players. Our players need confidence right now during home games and staying quiet until something happens, is not the way to support your players. Our players sing more during away games than at Anfield. What does that tell you? Would we have come back in Istanbul had the fans not sang their lungs out at half time when even Carra thought we were going to get a hiding? Stupid post, really. If you can't support us when we lose, don't support us when we win, a great man once said.

With redohio here. Klopp, if you really want to know how utterly pathetic your post is, do yourself and your views a favour and go to a portsmouth game nowdays. They have fallen about as quick and as far as you can fall and they still sing all match and stay to the final whistle. No doubt you're one of the fans leaving early and trying to pathetically justify it.

And to Ron - no we're not. That's the point. These fans are clearly demonstrating that they are not committed, don't really care and don't even enjoy the experience to make it worth staying till the end, meanwhile we have to sit and watch on TV when we'd be there all night if we could. It's not just insulting to the team, players and sport - it's insulting to the millions of fans who can't get tickets for love nor money but have to watch these people not even use all of theirs.
10 Nov 2015 11:39:00
So you're saying fans who put there money where their mouth/keyboard is and actually pay money to the club are not as committed as someone watching on a stream.
You're ridiculous.
10 Nov 2015 13:00:51
Another classic Ron Keague reply - can't argue the point because he's so clearly wrong, he just insults.
Tell me, how does paying when you can't even be bothered to finish watching what's right in front of you make you a better fan? How can you compare to someone who follows from where-ever they are in the world, watches every second of every match no matter how difficult it is and how alone they are in doing so, and only gets the same privilege to be in the heart of it a few times in their life if that?
It's not a question that's even up for discussion. If you can't be bothered to stay to the end, leave your ticket for someone who actually wants to be there for the entire thing. Your ability to flash cash for a weekend afternoon distraction you don't care about is irrelevant to justifying your actions.
10 Nov 2015 20:14:00
You pay money to go and support your team, if you don't do that then you are just throwing your money away.
10 Nov 2015 20:22:02
No hjinkle, it is YOU alone who is saying one section of fans is more committed than others.
I said we all SHARE the same commitment.
YOU have to justify how those who don't contribute financially week in week out are more committed than those who do.
Your statement is ridiculous, and I think you know that.
10 Nov 2015 23:04:57
Typical RK post. FYI, we don't share a common commitment as fans because clearly some stay till the end come rain, shine or blizzard while others leave just because the other team scored a goal. I have NEVER turned off the tv even though we were losing ever and have never left the bar either before the final whistle regardless of result. And if I had season tickets for Anfield, I wouldn't leave before the end either. Yes, those who don't go to games like me because we can't yet we watch our team till the end, pay money for extra cable channels, call off work atimes or wake up in the middle of the night just to watch our team play, are more committed because if we could go to games with the same passion we show as I described above, we would and totally rock the place. Your post is senseless, Ron.
11 Nov 2015 07:47:35
And so you just repeat your petty, pointless and ridiculous post - those that have more money and/or a geographical advantage are better. Sad and pathetic till the end, but this is pointless because no doubt a billion fans could point this out to you and you'd still not listen - you never do.
