And that is exactly part of the issue for me Jill and why I don't think the fans can be criticised too much, we're sitting watching our side try to regain their rhythm and sharpness in a game that can directly result in us taking advantage of our main compeitors for the title, that in itself is always going to cause some degree of anxiety. Agree 100% the pitch made things difficult, but then that's just another thing that plays into it as people see we aren't moving the ball quickly due to the conditions, see moving it slowly isn't creating chances, see the clock ticking on while we look uncharacteristically shaky at the other end and as a direct result worry that things aren't going our way. That's without even factoring in it feels like the refs against us with his bad decision after bad decision
I'm not saying moan and groan all game and its okay, but I do think the atmosphere was understandable
It doesn't sound harsh at all, it just sounds ridiculously unrealistic because no ones fans do that 
You could sit and tell me you watched that match in its entirety without any sign of anxiety of frustration and i'd call bullshit because I don't reckon any of our fans did, its not that simple to just switch of any emotion or feeling towards the game because youv'e walked into the stadium. There's a multitude of things that were going against us last night and it all fed into it. You can write anything out on a forum and make it seem simple as, but most people don't convey emotion after going through a flowchart in their head of whether displaying frustration is a good choice at this present moment in time and thinking what are the knock on effects of me being frustrated. No one's saying moan and groan constantly but it was a case of what was happening on the field feeding into the emotion through the stands and that feeding back into what was going on during the game on the field.
If its as simple as that you could sit and say whip up a champions league atmosphere every anfield game because 'why would I not try everything I can to help the team win' but inevitably, its not the case
It's not about fans not being frustrated, or turning their emotions off, but how a subsection, that can become incredibly toxic, react to certain situations. It's not unique to our club, but I don't think I've seen it on the scale that Anfield *can* display at other teams chasing titles, with the exception possibly of City back in 2012.
On one hand I'm talking about the howls of frustration, the screams directed at players for not passing forwards, or misplacing passes, or missing a chance. I'm not saying don't make noise, or react to these situations, but for people to actively try to not direct anger and frustration at the team. It
is an issue, and I don't think it's something that's wrong to expect doesn't happen. In fairness, and thankfully, it's largely been eradicated, after being an issue I'd say since at least Rafa's reign. Probably before.
On the other hand side [/Klopp] there's the anxiety, the nerves, the quiet muttering, the hands in heads 25 minutes from time in January, in a match we're extending our league lead in. AS Van Dijk said, at
this stage it's unnecessary. In the 34th game? Sure. If we're 6 points behind? Fine. If its during a knockout game? Yes! They all make sense. This one is harder to control, I get that, I really do. I watched on TV and was nervous. In simultaneous contradiction I was also confident in the team, because I didn't see them playing nervously. They were having a tough game, sure, for reasons I've listed elsewhere - conditions, injuries, opposition, fitness and a horrific referee. I don't think there wad any consistent display of nerves though, just one or two isolated moments. Robbos volley could be cited as an example, equally, it could be cited as a confident player taking on a ball that was falling perfectly for that sort of attempt.
It's no secret to any Liverpool fan WHY it's happening. We're all desperate to win the league. I think people need to consciously try and calm themselves down though, realise that a nervous muttering to a friend times by 40000 becomes a potential self fulfilling prophecy.
I don't think it's had an impact yet, which is why I'm glad our colossal defender and brilliant manager have tried to calmly address it now, before it does.
