How can we help get back the Anfield atmosphere?

Thought it was pretty crap 1st half, picked up 2nd. That goal of their sucked the life out for 10 mins though.

Klopp is fighting for the whole club! He is getting it going. He spoke out about feeling like he was alone a few weeks ago. He has enough about him that he didn't take any stick from fans for that. He was right too.

 

Then today he was firing it all up. He is an emotional man, but it's an emotional game! OK, it was only a draw, but it's all about the circumstances. Rival fans can have a laugh if they want, but they don't know. Klopp is recognizing the fight that is coming back. We kept going. The fans kept believing. It all augurs well for the future.

I thought we made more noise at 1-2 than at 1-0.  It was almost like people were supporting the team.

Bloody hell, turning doubters into believers and customers into supporters. What next?

Well said Carra.

 

I Love both you and our manager Klopp. And Stevie.

 

Love,

Ranieri said some of his players were affected by the atmosphere yesterday.

The atmosphere was much better yesterday. It still went quiet at times, but still much better than it has been. I'm a little surprised they were effected though, it didn't seem that good or intimidating.

I think Klopp has brought the atmosphere back by instilling a real fighting mindset into the team (not too consistent yet, but it's there at times.) They seem to have a desire to battle which has been lacking, so good on the team and the manager for that. It clearly seems like the crowd are fuelling that at times, which is great. Kind of reminds me of when Rafa was here and we were battering teams when on form.

I think the phrase "at times" is important in what you're saying there, as our last 2 aways have been abject and anything but fighting displays.

Yeah it's clearly not consistent yet, am just hoping it gets better gradually. With some luck Klopp will give them a good kick up the arse mentally before they get onto the pitch for the next game.

I think we need to new players and have more natural fighters on the pitch.

Agreed, will be pissed off if Klopp isn't able to get at least one or two over the next month or so, because he should really be able to start making the team his own asap. No way should he have to wait until the summer.

 

At the same time though, I like our current squad a lot. As they showed against City and Chelsea, etc, they're clearly capable of doing well, they have to be more consistent though. It's clear that they're missing in areas and need help, but I have a fair bit of faith that many of them will do well in the right team.

 

edit : to make it a bit more clear - I don't think Klopp needs to do a full on rebuild with transfers, more that he needs to add his own players to around maybe half of what's already there.

Many of them probably will do ok in the right team....

 

 

The right team is just not ours though - as they just aren't up to it.

 

We need to jib all the weak both physically and mentally...rid the team of the slowness that kills it in terms of speed of movement and importantly thought - add some fight and steel and leadership, those things - fight and steel and leadership are desperately short in the side.

That's why I think we'll be more or less fine with Klopp's half added, if he can do it well enough! With some of his players it might give more of our current ones the confidence, etc, that they need. As they'll have more of an idea of the managers vision for the squad if that can happen. Players like Can and a few others should improve if that happens too, because they're young enough to be able to adapt.

 

Of course this could be wrong, just my own view on it.

I agree some of our younger players can and will improve with better players and men with bigger characters around them.

 

I just think we need a new spine and of course some spines in the side.

 

I trust Klopp to add them - hopefully starting in the coming days and weeks.

It's gone for good hasn't it...?

[Jennings]

If people can't be arsed singing against Utd...then they don't want an atmosphere.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Who are they meant to be singing for? They pay champions league prices for mid-table entertainment every week.

[Tony Moanero]

Yes.

So called "day trippers" are killing the atmosphere not just at Anfield but, the mancs, Arsenal (not Chelsea there all plastic flag waving chavs any way) and a lot of other clubs, the prices are becoming so inflated that average fans can no longer afford to go week in week out so these plastic fans go with their wife spend a few hundred quid in the gift shop spend the game taking pics / videos on their ipad so they can tell their work colleagues they've been to Anfield home of the red team and their wife spends the whole game shopping on her iPhone using Anfields free wifi.I understand fans from Norway / Ireland ect coming over for games no problem with that 9 out of 10 treat it like a football match rather than a status symbol.
