welcoming the coach Saturday

[Paco]

My gut reaction is it will look manufactured (because is is) and that things like this should happen naturally.

Only people conceived as a result of the king Harry will be there.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Didn't it have the exact opposite effect against Chelsea when you were going for the title a few years back?

Wasn't Mourinho supposed to have said to his players on the coach  " do you want to be the clowns here today,in this circus "

 

No, our captain slipped. Haven't you had a chance to sing the song yet?

Yeah mate. Defo the fans fault, that.

[moof]

It's not manufactured. These things happen as naturally as is logically possible.

I don't know why thousands of people can't just naturally converge at one spot on the road all at the same time, and randomly coincide that with the team bus driving past. Better than organising it beforehand like a bunch of wools.

[G Richards]

Do the players deserve it? Questionable.

Does this great club deserve it? Yes.

Could it help add to a sense of togetherness that we need after an iffy start? Yes.

Could it inspire the players to give an extra few percent? Yes.

(Obviously they should be giving their max anyway, but I really feel the 12th man, if on top form, can gee up the other eleven and help lift them higher).

 

It's a good idea, and could be a spark behind a good run.

Is it not more about the fans saying we'll do everything we can to make this a great season now it's up to yous on the pitch to feed it?

By paying £50 a ticket and circa £1k for a season ticket should be enough to show their intent. How about the pansies on the pitch do their job as well?

[Barnesey]

I've been around a few years but, for me, supporting this Club is not about watching, it is about taking part.

 

Anything we can do to influence the outcome should be compulsory.

 

Get down there and make a noise!

Nobody is forcing anyone to go and stand on the street to welcome the bus.

If people pay their money to just sit there and be entertained then it's no wonder anfield is as miserable as this place 90% of the time.

 

Better atmosphere = better results.

Exactly. It's a large part of what makes us great.

Just my opinion.

 

In 2014 it happened because we were on a great run and that inspired the connection between the fans and players. Dortmund was special because European nights at Anfield can be.

 

Personally I think it will look forced and artificial but I don't have a problem with it as such.

[xerxes]

 

 

Personally I think it will look forced and artificial .

Perhaps we could spontaneously sing YNWA before the match starts?

 

I agree with Moof, some organisation is no bad thing.

 

Overall, I think it would be a positive for fans and players alike.

That's right. Spirit is good but no real context here: flags & flares to league title run ins, European Cup & UEFA Cup finals, but when the context is welcoming Leicester City as League Champions with one of the lowest points totals this century while we still lumber 25 years on its a bit grim.

It's treating every home game like it's 3 points. Something we've forgotten and probably a big reason we haven't won the league is that we've dropped far too many points at home over the years and frequently to teams like Leicester who of course managed to win the Premier league with the best home record in the league.

 

It's not about welcoming them. It's about doing everything to beat them and everyone else who comes to anfield this year.

How many times has it helped us? The two derbies against Everton that both ended 4-0. The Dortmund comeback at Anfield, the Villareal comeback, the Man City game at Anfield in 2014, the 11 game win streak in 2014, the game at Anfield vs Chelsea in 2005 and 2007.

 

The amount of times we've won when the atmosphere's been frenetic at Anfield clearly shows it has a very significant effect. 

[CWD82]

The Sevilla fans in Basle were heavily choreographed, had people just to get the atmosphere going. They were 20 times better than us

[jimmycase]

So no more flag days then? Fuck that shit, I love seeing all them flags, its what makes Anfield so colourful.

Agree re the atmosphere in the ground.  But clapping a bus arrival?  Each to their own.

Better atmosphere = better results.

Better players + better attitude= better results.

Fuckin millionaires kicking a ball around and cannot get motivated for it without some help. Fuck the lot of the cunts off if they cant be arsed. Everything done for them and they need somebody to encourage them to do better. Jesus wept. No wonder players from the likes of Iceland show some of these tarts up.

[Mook]

We go to support the team, so let's support the team.

[Shitty Arse]

I'm all for this. Can we hijack the bus like Scorpio does on Dirty Harry? Make everyone get off apart from Moreno and then drive into the fucking sea

[halewood pete]

I'm all for this.every home game.can only be positives all round a

[njackets]

Fair play to whoever gets involved in this and taking time out to do it, couldn't see myself ever interrupting my pre match drinking rituals to ever get involved but hope it goes well.

I understand the principle of what you're saying, but there's no denying that a fanatical noise can both inspire supported players and intimidate opposition players.

 

It's been well documented in various interviews and autobiographies.

 

Organising a rousing welcome is no more artificial than anything the game has offered in the past 20 years.  In fact, it's more organic than most things.

 

I'm all for it.

Moreno probably wouldn't remember the words to "row, row, row your boat"
