I mean we haven't really played anyone of note in any competition, atmosphere at Wembley has been good at least.
I agree about Wembley and hope it's the same on Saturday. They've been the standout days of the season to me so far and hopefully that can peak in Paris.
As for Anfield (in Europe specifically), the opposition haven't been world beaters by any stretch but I think the drop in atmosphere compared to a few years ago is quite telling, but partially to be expected. Compare the Roma tie in 2018 to Villarreal a couple of weeks ago. So much can be said for how the team has evolved and how our expectations have been raised judging them games alone. Against Roma we'd not won anything for years but felt it getting closer, the atmosphere was superb inside and outside the ground, a party atmosphere for the most part but spurred on by the performance. I use Roma as my example because similarly to Villarreal neither are constant challengers in their own leagues and in Europe.
Against Villarreal it started out alright for the first 10/15 minutes before it came clear it was going to be a struggle. I think loads went in just expecting we'd humiliate them. Didn't really get anything until the goals, and for 5/10 minutes after it was the best it's been all season. Still though it fizzled out towards the end when everyone seemed happy with the result. It's certainly an outlier when you look at all the European semis we've been treated to in the 21st century, all those atmospheres were superb, Villarreal was merely alright, but again it probably goes back to what I'm saying about sustained success and expectations.
It's interesting to see going forward if we perform to the same levels how the atmosphere will be. I feel even the aways for a while haven't quite been the same. It's quite a bleak outlook on the situation at the minute but I just feel on the whole this season it's been quite poor, especially given the football. I could understand if we'd been shit! Hopefully with this season of going to the football again under our belts we'll see an improvement next season.
