Thought the atmosphere was poor yesterday considering it was Pep's first game. things that annoyed me
1. So much for rolling out the red carpet for Pep.
2. No response from our fans to rouse the team at all for 10 mins after Sunderland scored. It's like someone ruined the script of the play and the lead actor farted so there is stunned silence. Other teams are allowed to score
3. Embarrassing when players go over to thanks the fans and most have gone home. Whatever happened to the players putting the effort in on the pitch and the fans off it?
4. Bloke at half time trying to whip up the crowd for his shite halftime competition

It seemed quieter than usual thats all im saying/asking. One of my favorites parts of English football is how animated the crowd is compared to some american sports. Just dont want to see real fans being priced out of stadiums in England as well
It was shockingly quiet yesterday on TV throughout the game, and Jon Champion and Lee Dickson commented on how quiet it was the whole game saying, "It's as though the crowd are waiting for the team to pick them up."
I'm sorry I cannot participate in making the atmosphere better, being across the pond, but yesterday was sad, I'm not saying the crowd need to be like Dortmund or even as good as the crowd was at the 2012 QPR finale but I've heard much better. I sing along in my own damn living room when the crowd are into it!
The game on the pitch was boring as all hell but when I attend games I go to get into it, I like leaving with my voice gone win or lose. Our away support is 10 times what the home support is at the moment, and it's not the stadium, as I said before the QPR game was mental, the CL quarter and semi finals last year were great, the Chelsea game with the new 3rd tier last year was great. I expected more from the crowd for Pep's first game in charge.
And I applaud those that probably tried to bring the atmosphere yesterday but most just stand there with their arms folded or holding their chins watching and waiting for the next 93:20 moment, if they even stay that long!

Not seen any comment on here but did people notice the whole city team and sub's used or not were all told to go into the centre circle and acknowledge the crowd before any of them left the pitch ?
Never seen that before at any match .hope they are made to go over to the away fans each game too

I noticed against Arsenal Pep made them go over to the fans also. Depressing the manager has to intervene for this to happen.

The lads I met after the game mentioned it. We have had loads of threads on here about players walking off without acknowledging the fans. It is about time it was addressed and sadly the players by all accounts were the same after training on friday. Pep, allegedly, got one of the bus to sign an autograph.

Footballers are just ships in the night nowadays. The odd one like Zabba drops by occasionally but my only loyalty is to the club. Put it this way If we played Gillingham in a play off final I could not see many of this lot turning up to cheer us on, like in years gone by.

It's become an audience not a crowd & it'll get worse under the new style & tactics....just look at Barcas atmosphere,awful.
We won't play rip snorting,counter attaching football. Lie down & endure.
Champions but without the feeling.

Sure in one of Peps interviews after the game he said it was a player decision and it would happen more often.

we've had plenty of games under pellegrini where we tore teams to shreds though and it was just as quiet, its just another excuse.

That's true. Bayern will have played a similar style to us under Pep but the difference in atmosphere is huge. We aren't the only club though. Plenty of grounds are similar.we've had plenty of games under pellegrini where we tore teams to shreds though and it was just as quiet, its just another excuse.

I liked that too.I liked the way the players all gathered in the centre circle. Maybe it might rub off and some fans might stay till the end. If we all get together we might be on to something.

To be fair, there aren't many fans left to acknowledge at the end of a match.Don't start me on how our lot treat the fans after games,they are absolutely disgraceful to put it politely
Why would a blue do that? Don't you think we know what an atmosphere is?Look on YouTube..the view from the kop..that's how a good atmosphere should be.
