The last game of the season vs Tottenham apparently has hospitality tickets going for 1500 GBP.
Wolves?
Sounded like a shit atmosphere last night.
Performance obviously didnāt help, but the whole thing (both the performance and atmosphere) was a bit like āweāre too good to be here battling with bloody Atalantaā.
Really sad if that will turn out to be our last Anfield European night under Klopp.
Donāt think he has the motivation anymore to be the manager and cheerleader from the touchline. Heās had enough.
Another horrible atmosphere.
I just donāt get it. These are literally the last Anfield games under Klopp and weāre also in a situtation to compete for trophies. Not āmeaninglessā games.
Where is all of that, āthis means moreā, āwe owe it to himā, blah blah? Absolutely nothing special about our performances or atmosphere these last two games.
Have we really become that spoiled? Are we all too sad because we know in advance that this era is nearing itās end and we just canāt give the team more support?
What a pathetic way to end this era, this hurts me even more than failing results wise (if we do).
Yeah, Kloppo deserves better than that, but the Anfield crowd is always very responsive to how the team plays. If the crowd is lethargic during a match, it generally indicates a lethargy within the team as well, and how the game goes.
I think the fans are the complacent ones, not the players. The arrogance in not giving it their all against Atalanta. European quarter-final night, and they squandered it.
Yeah, but especially now, taken everything into context, really poor.
At least a little bit more should still come from the stands, to help the team.
Not what I imagined these games would be. Regardless of the results. Attendance now up to 60k+, Kloppās final season and final few games, battle for trophies. Every reason to make an effort.
Place sounds like we just canāt recover from these hits lately and just want this nightmare (still not over!) over and done with, remember all the good things from the past and onto next season.
You can even see on Kloppās face and behaviour, heās not even trying to lift them anymore. He seems like, f*ck it, canāt bother with this anymore, full focus on the football and then whatever happens.
Really sad.
Iām not an expert on acoustics (or anything else, for that matter), but has the expansion reduced the feedback to the pitch? Is more sound just escaping into the Merseyside air?
Sorry but I think we go too far re: expectations of āAnfield.European Nightsā. Itās the fucking players that need to win the game; the fans can only be the icing on the cake. The players are the ones who have let two trophies slip away in the last three.games; the crowd have had a very minute part at most.
As my lad mentioned to me about the atmosphere on Sundayā¦ It is to be remembered, that probably a high majority of the fans were facing the āmorning/day after the night beforeāā¦ in so much as it was Aintree festival over the preceding days after allā¦ The City and all the revellers would have been in high spirits - come the gameā¦ hangover time

Not sure what this is all aboutā¦ Donāt believe LFC will be too happy though
A member of a loyalist flute band that marched through the grounds of Liverpool Football Club while playing sectarian music has called the incident āan absolute disgraceā.
Last Friday the Glendermott Valley Flute Band, from the Tullyally area near Derry, marched through the gates of Anfield while playing an instrumental version of āThe Billy Boys.ā
The song has been banned at Scottish football matches and at Linfield games in Northern Ireland, being widely known for a version with the lyrics āup to our knees in fenian bloodā.
Sources at Liverpool Football Club have confirmed that no permission was sought for the march and that the club continues to look into the matter.
While identifying himself to the Irish News, the band member asked to remain anonymous and said he was deeply embarrassed by the sectarian nature of the incident.
āI was with the band on Friday night and it never even crossed my mind that we werenāt invited,ā he said.
āWhenever we were in the area, I pulled out and sat down because I thought āthereās something funny about thisā.
āThey were playing the Billy Boys and I was disgusted by the whole thing.
āNot everyone in the band is responsible for that. Itās scandalous, itās an absolute disgrace what they did.ā
While the Apprentice Boys of Derry host events in Liverpool, the organisation had previously confirmed they were not formally associated with the Glendermott band and had nothing to do with the decision to parade through Anfield.
He continued: āYou donāt walk into somebodyās living room if youāre not invited or donāt ask. I know itās a public area, but Anfield is like the colosseum in Rome, thatās what it felt like to me.
āIt was done for one reason and one reason only and that was to put it to the Catholics of Liverpool.ā
Part of the band for several years, he said online suggestions that the band was linked to paramilitaries was not true.
āIf you want to know a terrorist-linked band thereāll be flags at the front with things like UVF, UFF or Red Hand Commando,ā he said.
āThen youāll know theyāre linked, because they have to ask for permission to carry them.
āIf you look at the Glendermott flags itās just a union flag and the banner.ā
He said the group mainly plays tunes associated with the Ulster Volunteer Force during World War One, but admitted there were offensive elements.
āThereās only one modern UVF song played in the band. Itās actually known, and youāll have to excuse my expression here, as a āKick the Pope band.ā
āBlood and thunder, thatās what itās known as. Itās called that for a bit of craic to be honest with you even though I know itās very derogatory towards the Pope.
āBut itās always been called that, those type of bands.ā
Wanting to speak out as an āordinary loyalist in Glendermott and Tullyvally area,ā he said: āThey definitely need called out. I just want to be clear that (itās) not everyone in the band ā¦ the Apprentice Boys did not sanction it in any way, shape or form.ā
Earlier this week, a Catholic member of an official Liverpool supporters club in Derry told the Irish News the march felt like a deliberate attempt to antagonise the clubās large Irish fanbase.
Addressing him, the Glendermott member said: āIād like him to know that my late father was a lifelong Liverpool supporter and heād be turning in his grave if he knew that we were marching on what he would have seen as sacred ground.
āHe loved that team. This is why itās so embarrassing for me.
āThe police have been involved as well as there was a bit of hate sent to us via email.
āIām very well known in loyalist circles here. Itās very dangerous for me to be speaking like this but I had to say something.ā
By Thursday morning, he added that he had just been informed by police that a credible threat had been made against him by a paramilitary organisation but that he was still determined to speak out.
A police spokesperson said that a report was received on Wednesday āin relation to abusive messagesā and that enquiries were ongoing.
Regarding the complaint of a paramilitary threat, they added: āWe do not discuss the security of individuals and no inference should be drawn from this. However, we want to reassure the public that we will take the appropriate action when made aware of anything that may put an individual at risk.ā
Glendermott Valley Flute Band has been contacted for a response.
