A Few Thoughts from the Match: Liverpool 1 Burnley 1

As far as I'm concerned Klopp can do whatever he wants. The role of the fans cannot be underestimated. Those who want to spread negative vibes can fuck off and give their season tickets to fans who are willing to get behind the team.

 

Criticize all you want after the game but during the 90 minutes get behind the team. Even if you believe that fans contribute to no more than 5% of the final outcome of the game. These 5% matter, and can be the difference between a win and a draw. Do your bit. That's all what Klopp is asking for. It doesn't mean he doesn't see the players' shortcomings if he asks you to do your bit!

That's easy for you to say from your ivory tower.

 

I don't think there is one person who goes to the match with the intention of having a moan. This isn't North Korea - when we're conceding goals to teams who don't even really attempt to score, you're going to get people moaning. I spent £47 (season ticket admittedly) on that match yesterday and left with nothing but frustration again because we can't keep a clean sheet.

 

If that makes me a bad fan with "negative vibes" then so be it - personally I am sick to death of it. In fact the highlight of the match was the Eurofighter flyby just as I was leaving.

Too right.

So if someone offers to pay you back the cost of attending the game you will consider being more "supportive" during the 90 minutes?

 

No - the money is a personal frustration. Other people don't care about how much they pay. I do, it bothers me immensely because I am always on the edge of not being able to afford my season ticket.

 

I could have a free ticket or a corporate ticket - I am going to shout my frustrations at Klavan and Can going for the same ball because I am a football fan, it's my team and such stupidity is completely needless. Like I said, if Klopp wants the crowd to calm down, concede less goals.

Precisely. A few seasons ago under previous managers it was support the team in the ground, slag 'em off if you wish in the pub after the game. Now, it's fair game to slag the team off in the ground. Fuck knows what they do after the game in the pub now.

See, I hate this kind of thing, people telling others what to do and acting as match police. My dad has been going to the game since the 1950s, with a hiatus in the 80s when he was raising a family, and to my knowledge, has never ever sung a single song. He has done his fair share of moaning, though. Should he fuck off and give his season ticket up? I think not.

Thanks son.

To be fair, there are quite a few murmurs of disquiet when the defence plays with itself, gradually increasing the panic level with every pass.  And then when you get Henderson flapping and playing another backwards pass that tends to elicit a groan.  

 

Whilst that's true mate, it's a lot different from outright "berating players for 90 minutes."

 

That is something I do have a big issue with and I do agree with Klopp. That's because there are too many people who just won't accept that playing out from the back is Klopp's way and for better or worse, that's what we do.
