Besides the Arsenal game, I thought yesterday was the best it has been on the Kop all season though on the TV it came across as very quiet all over. Understandably the last 10 minutes was tense but unlike years ago no groans just singing to spur the team to find that extra last bit of effort to see it out. Hopefully it keeps building and building as we head to the crunch part of the season, warmer weather and bigger games should see to that. Pretty sure there’s gonna be a few games were it’s gonna be really rocking before the end.

Any reason why there were a load of G4S type stewards on the kop yesterday?

Only done Leeds and Norwich this season, but they were there to stop people going up past row 62 into 306 as loads try go up and stand there. Dunno if the club are employing them as they are impartial, ie they don't have the rapport that you build with the stewards when you see them every home game.

Thought it was pretty good yesterday. West Ham seemed quiter than usual as well I thought. Still had the usual Sign On and Gerrard songs though the fucking Tory weirdos.

I watched on a stream (weirdly one with Jim Beglin being quite negative about us, is he always like that?!) and thought it sounded really good. You could tell there were times where all four stands were getting involved. Love hearing it like that. Sounds like nowhere else.

I spoke to one of them yesterday, turned out that he supports Man Utd! They did a decent job yesterday but I did say to him good luck in trying to do the same on Tuesday as it will be way worse.

My neighbour is a steward at both Anfield and The Pit. He said liverpool bring stewards in from all over the place. The Shite had some down from Blackburn too. Apparently there is a shortage of stewards due to the pandemic. He was saying how when crowds were allowed back into grounds, some games were very close to being called off due to clubs struggling to get enough stewards in.

The son of the wife’s friend is a steward at Goodson. It was him who called in the medics at the FA cup game last Thursday for a guy with a suspected stroke and got the game paused. Turns out the guy had fallen fast asleep and fell off his seat.

I rarely watch the game on TV due to having a ST but I do watch a YOUTUBE channel called Dorking Uncovered, the narrator of the channel used to work for Sky and he said recently that they would always manipulate the crowd noise at PL matches, sometimes lowering the volume and sometimes adding noise (as we saw during behind closed doors games), make of that what you will.

Anyway bar the odd quiet game as mentioned already the atmosphere has been ok and I can see it ramping up as we head towards May.  Just need the stress heads to support rather than moan.

That doesn't surprise me. They always seem to have the away fans mic right up, but the Kop right down. It's bizarre that a few hundred singing a shite chant in the away end can often come across louder than thousands on the Kop.

Speedy recovery with that elbow.  :)

It seems like a very recent thing. I do agree, get rid of those stupid cardboard signs.

The atmosphere was pretty poor again. Decent at the start and it picked up a bit once they got the goal. We could’ve easily got knocked out last night and we didn’t play our part. 

I mentioned it in a previous thread but there were some special atmospheres when we transitioned from a Europa league team to a full fledged champions league one in the early Klopp days. We take it more for granted now and with that level of expectancy it means we’re more laid back.

Would love to get to an away game to get a feeling for the atmosphere again as those nights at anfield are very far and few between right now. We’re a tourist club!

It has been mentioned many times over the last few seasons since it started becoming a common thing to do. Get rid of it to fuck. The players should stop giving their shirts to these people and maybe they'd go away.

I have a season ticket in the Main Stand - not the loudest by any means but generally alright most nights.

Last night I had a couple of lads from down south somewhere (I assume London but who knows really). This is usually fine except these ones were spending the entire game just talking shit about us - saying the performance was Dogshit, saying Jones and Trent was terrible, and saying we were getting battered at all times. Probably the worst matchgoers I have heard for a long long time

Thought it started off really good, especially on the Kop. Dwindled a bit no doubt due to the performance and people getting edgy but overall was a good atmosphere and pretty constant singing and support on the Kop.

Thought it was alright until Inter scored. Expected a loud response then (and even more so once Sanchez got sent off), but the ground was very quiet. Far too much negativity as well- seems to be an expectation (certainly around where I was in Upper main) for every pass to be perfect and when it's not people start moaning. People don't appreciate this team. We dominated the game last night (but were incredibly unlucky infront of goal) and saw off a very good Inter side. Embarrassing atmosphere at times. Players deserve far better.

It's all about expectation and people becoming familiar with success. When you are following a team that's lost it's 3rd game in about 50-odd and advanced to the QF of the CL whilst winning the league cup and still competing in the PL and FA Cup, you'd think people would be hugely enthused and excited. You'd expect that to translate to the atmosphere being amazing. That's not always the case. Mainly because expectation changes but also because there becomes a familiarity with winning and competing.

People expect this team to not only win but to win in style. It's based off the very high standards they've set over the last 4-5 seasons. People expect us to have a title challenge, expect us to advance far in the CL and expect us to compete fr domestic cups. That's the correct attitude. With our squad we should expect that. However, we can't expect the players to be faultless. There's always going to be individual games were the team or specific players dip below their normal high level. That has got to be expected and factored into any form of criticism.

I think a few years ago last night's game has an electric atmosphere. Even with the 2-0 lead. The fact we've gotten to 2 CL finals in last 4 years takes away some of the novelty of a R16 game. People quite quickly get accustomed to playing these types of game. Where there was once excitement and fervour, it's replaced with a sense of apathy. We saw it in the Rafa Benitez era. We were regularly getting to CL SF and QFs but atmosphere at those games gradually got worse going from 2004/05 through to 2009/10. I remember people complaining about having to play another QF or SF versus Chelsea. Imagine getting to the point where you are moaning about being in a CL QF or SF!

We are starting to see similar now. The atmosphere is considerably better than 2008-10 because we've won the league and other trophies recently. But that same change in the intensity of the atmosphere at big games is apparent. In saying all that I think it'll pick up in the QF and SF. Te opponents might have a big effect too. Imagine City in the CL QFs either side of the league fixture!
I think Jookie might just be the best fisherman on this thread.

For loudness it was again the best it’s been all season, early on before kick off and for first 10 minutes and then the first 20 of the second half especially. The sending off came so quickly that we never needed to turn it up after that. Must admit with the way it’s been all season I was a bit concerned for the CL knockouts but not now once the big guns come we will dial it up as we normally do.

So many moaning around me when we were passing it round in the 85th, desperate for us to either get it in the box or have a hit and hope from 40 yards. Couldn't believe what I was hearing, there was only 1 goal in it and they can't score if we've got the ball lads.

Was a couple of other Curtis bashers a few rows from me, just all fucking game too and when he made a good pass not joining in with any applause, like what the fuck is that about? It's like a need to be a twat and spout venom, I guess they carry that shit on outside too, sad as fuck. Nothing wrong with having a moan but to the extent it becomes your entire mission at the game to be miserable then what's the fucking point? Desperate for him to fail so they can say "I told you so".

A usual by us where our ACS seats are there were some really funny guys screaming at Vidal and his haircut and joining in with songs which made it a bit more fun thankfully, otherwise it'd be a bit depressing.

Agree with the expectations point. I think thats a factor and also a lot of people, as did some players by the looks of it, think we were through already, so just watch us going through the motions. I expect and hope the next games that become tighter and more important will produce what we all know to be one of the best atmospheres in Europe.

The atmosphere was okay and pretty much what you would expect for this tie, given that it's only the last 16 and we were two nil up.
Chelsea 2005 and Barcelona 2019 don't come around too often. That's why they are the stuff of legend.

You could quite clearly hear the Inter fans signing ‘ Questa è una biblioteca?’ after 5 minutes.
