He is a bit clueless, he tries to get the atmosphere going by geeing up the tunnel club behind him, and it sold out yonks ago so no need to bring that up for any game.

I never understand telling the opposition exactly which players won't play - keep them guessing.

He might be talking about the hundreds of early leavers when he’s saying please stay. It’s going to be a tight game and he’s just reminding the fans not to desert the team give the players the support right to the final whistle.
 
He simply tried to bring the message across that it`s our first home game after the treble & the fans should be enthusiastic because of that. The players need their energy against a very physically strong Newcastle because of the short regenaration time & the injuries. Nothing more. If someone actually watched the presser then he wouldn`t got the impression that pep "criticize" the fans/atmosphere.

Ticket pricing is often the most important factor for the atmosphere. Young & low income people tend to make more noise. IMO our home atmosphere got better over the years especially in "less important" games. Room for improvement is always there. If our fans are already in big numbers in the stadium during the warm-up opposition players could already be intimated before the kick-off.

Generally I have the impression that the atmosphere in stadiums around the UK are often quieter compared to continental Europe but the atmosphere in all the big football temples around Europe are different than in the past. Bernabeau, Camp Nou are also pretty quiet nowadays. People itself & the football consume/visit in the staduim has changed.
 
Pep knows and we know that we’re not the mechanical winning machine the press makes out. We are unsurpassed in areas, no doubt, but we still have our frailties like any other team. Until now we’ve had Gundo and KDB to find a moment of magic to cover any holes. Life after both is going to be tougher as replacements of that calibre are hard to find and take time to bed in. So this season could be tricky. We will have to be the twelfth man a lot more. That’s not just singing and noise - which we’ve got better at - but cutting back on the early darts for the A6 etc.

All that Pep is doing, is asking us to carry on as we did in the last dozen home games of last season after he, in my opinion, rightly called us out on the atmosphere at home games. The noise and backing of the team in those last games was the best in our time at the Etihad, he could be worried that we fall back into the old routine of being noisy for the first 10-15 minutes then not much else until we score a couple of goals or start singing again for the last ten minutes. He just wants 90 + minutes of noise and what I think worked well last year the constant whistling and booing whenever the opposition got the ball or a decision their way. He certainly appreciates it when the supporters put a shift in as much as his players do, like the way he came over to us on Wednesday night and applauded us for quite a while.
Need to set up a league table for the North, South, East & Colin Bell stands award points for noisiest each game, bit of healthy competition between each stand instead of slagging one another off.
 
Pep didn't need to say anything. He praised our support last season. So why would our support be any different for our first home match of the season on a Saturday night at 8pm with a full stadium, fans drinking all day, and with 3000 noisy Geordies.

Pep really needs to move on from this topic now. It's getting tedious, embarrassing, and it only highlights the incorrect belief amongst other fans that we don't get behind the team and there's no atmosphere at the Emptythad. ;-)
 
If the atmosphere is poor tonight for an 8pm pissed up ko against a good singing opponent, then i don't know when it will be good again. Should be rocking
 
Get the players to bring the four trophies on the pitch immediately before the game and the place will explode. But it has never happened previously at the first game and I doubt it will tonight.
