Topic: Atmosphere at Anfield

[OkieRedman]

If you can't get up and really give it starting tomorrow and the rest of the run in, you should really pack it in. Need that 2013/14 energy.

[Jookie]

It’s a 12:30 KO v Watford so with the best will in the world it’s not likely to be an absolute belter of an atmosphere.

The current situation coupled with Klopp’s rallying call probably mean it’ll be a better atmosphere than a normal 12:30 KO.

Not a criticism but been to enough 12:30 games to know the atmosphere will never be that raucous.

Tomorrow would be a perfect time to change that. Been to loads of 12:30's too and it is strange how flat the atmosphere can be. At least its not New Years Day tomorrow, it'd be shite if it was.

12:30 KO can feel like everyone is still half asleep.

Not sure if it’s hangovers, less drinking time, people preoccupied with otter stuff etc.. whatever the reason it’s hard to get a good atmosphere at Anfield at a early Saturday KO.

Been to quite a few games v United at that KO slot and it’s been as flat as a 3pm versus mid table fodder.

Hopefully tomorrow is the day that changes!

[stonecold_jpm]

It’ll be dead as fuck and Jurgen knows it too that’s why he hates that kick off time. We will need to go behind or be struggling to break through on the 60th minute for Anfield to get fired up.

[rocco]

Just give every one awake up call as they come through the stalls

[DTRed]

I like that JK has called for a big 1230 atmosphere.  Watching on TV it sounds really quiet for large chunks of recent games. I had put it down to the TV mics being low but for those at the games, has it been that bad?

[BobPaisley3]

Are we in ‘bus greeting’ territory yet?

[paisley1977]

Its nothing to do with the time its the people in the ground. Like Jurgen said if you cannot shout and sing, stay at home and give your ticket to somebody else, please.
Speaking as a 66 yro we really need to be getting more youngsters on the Kop to many oldens.

[disgraced cake]

Don't think we'll get one tomorrow but Benfica at home is a possibility, and anything beyond that I'd say.

[hoppyLFC]

The boss has spoken for tomorrow

It would help if the stewards stopped making all the Anny Rd sit down !

[King Kenny 7]

Will be interesting to see if JK's comments have any impact for todays game.

[CornerTakenQuickly]

Considering the performance and that it's Watford at 12:30, that was quite good. First 30 minutes in particular the crowd was right up for it. Always difficult once everyone relaxes at 1-0 to keep it going.

Yeah agreed. Think generally everyone put a bit of effort into that. Not perfect of course but given the time and the opposition vert decent.

Yeah that’s fair enough, second half pretty dire though. Think the nerves were obvious.

[redgriffin73]

Thought it was good all things considered. A few tense moments when you could have heard a pin drop but otherwise was louder than normal for a lunchtime game I reckon.

[Fromola]

Just a case of getting out of it with a win. 12.30 Saturday kick off after international break against a team battling relegation, loads of key players with World Cup play offs, Klopp was concerned enough to try and get the fans going more.

We were in full control of the game bar the odd chance they had, you just know 1-0 isn't always enough.

[andy07]

Always was going to be shite. Turned out to be…..shite.  3 points secured and move on to games that will increase the pulse rate of the fans.

[Billy Elliot]

Thought it was good to be honest. Was in the Annie 129. Everybody was standing for first ten minutes until the stewards made everyone sit. I have more empathy for Annie Roaders than Kopites because in those back four rows you can't see anything when people are standing. But even when sat, the atmosphere was very good for the Annie.

Had to walk past around four creatures at the end, holding up those signs. And they weren't kids. And despite the creatures - it was still good!

The Main Stand started a couple of songs. That's something you deffo didn't get in the old days.

One of best Atmoshere's I had was in the old Main Stand against Arsenal Champions League 2008 the old stand was bouncing.

[CanuckYNWA]

I am dreading BT Sport asking for more of our games for the 12:30 kick-off. The Newcastle game already has that and if this title race is on for May I am not looking forward to more 12:30 games, the atmosphere and performance always struggle

Remember that well.was in the mains stand myself for that one. Was brilliant.

2008 seems like yesterday. I meant you didn't used to get it in 1984 

[meady1981]

Love how a song comes from nowhere, sang at an away, then the whole of Anfield fully christens it. Some work, some don’t. That’s Jurgens song forever now.

[SouthDerryLaggo]

Shout out to the five lads around me in 126. The rest were brutal. Jurgen song is class even if it was only us singing

[UntouchableLuis]

Fair play to Benfica fans - excellent from start to finish.

Very similar to Inter - felt a lot of fans assumed it was over from the start.

[Motty]

Absolute class song, whole of the Kop was belting it out around me from 60 minutes onwards, love it.

[duvva 💅]

Atmosphere really came across well on TV tonight. Sounded like a good night to be there

[stonecold_jpm]

Probably the best atmosphere all season, only dropped off a bit before half time. Good signs as we get to the business end. Hopefully a positive result on Saturday will crank it up on Tuesday and not the opposite if we don’t.

Yep. Fantastic

Feel like every time we have a magical season a song appears around this time that becomes the anthem of that run, my prediction is this is the one for this year

[eAyeAddio]

My hearing isn't as good as it was, any chance you could tell me the lyrics?
Ta.

[zero zero]

Jurgen said to me you know,
We’ll win the Premier League you know,
He said so,
I’m in love with him and I feel fine…

I’m so glad, that Jurgen is a Red,
I’m so glad, he delivered what he said.


(Thanks to Kopenhagen)

[lamonti]

Great song - fitting to choose a Beatles song for the boss.

As with everything on the Kop, could do with slowing down 🤪

[Kloppage Time]

That's supposedly being sung to the tune of "I feel fine" by the Beatles .... the choir needs a little coaching
Great chant though!

[BobPaisley3]

Absolute class song, whole of the Kop was belting it out around me from 60 minutes onwards, love it.

Never want to hear it again after my lad spent the half an hour walk from the ground to the car after the game singing it on repeat. 

[Yorkykopite]

Inspired choice of "I feel Fine" for Jurgen. It's just a great song to sing.

[Crosby Nick]

It clearly is that. Definitely needs to stay a bit slower but as said it’s a great song to sing.

Mate I’m still singing it 😂 scoring during the ten minute rendition was perfect
