Our owners picked the most depressing cynical fan base to make one of the best teams in the world hahaha cracks me up.

Liverpool and United have the small matter of probably ten times as many fans as us to pull from. Everything you mention above applies to local Liverpool and United fans. The only difference with us is we don't have the fans they do to replace the fans who show apathy.
You were one one of those casual irregular supporters once!i agree. i dont just think its champions league apathy either. i think a lot of city fans go out of habit and the actual match day experience is shite. i hate the corporate bowl that out stadium has become. tonight didnt even feel like going to a city match. it felt like a corporate event for tourists. it makes me think what is the point in going to matches.
the club couldn't less about its core fan base
Tourist fans is “a” difference, but it’s not “the” difference.
I know plenty of local match going reds who get as excited for a CL game as a league game. Some of them more so.
And Jesus, local Liverpool fans apathetic about the Champions League???!! You’ve got to be taking the piss, surely??
If there was one criticism I’d level at local Liverpool fans it’s that they’re TOO arsed about the Champions League. They get TOO hyped up about it. The exact opposite of City.
Clubs with a similar sized fan base to City like Tottenham, Chelsea, even Leeds, Newcastle, Everton going back, they wouldn’t have a 40% drop off in attendance from a league game to a CL game. No chance.
All of the various reasons offered up on here are just hot air. The reason we have such a drop off is apathy. I’m not calling people out for not going, they’re free to do whatever they choose.
But let’s cut the bull shit and talk about why they’re not arsed about the Champions League, because I tell you who IS arsed, our manager.
Good. A few heads need bashing. I think Pep also got it wrong. No Mendy, then you have to start Sane.I'm just going to avoid social media for a few days, the club is in for a right bashing from all quarters, the turnout, the atmosphere, the performance and most importantly the result.
The usual culprits will be giddy tonight but we would be too if the rags or dippers had all that for us to pick from, so we'll have to take our lumps I guess.
How they will probably react now is why nobody should go easy on the rags or defend the dippers, they'll be all over us.
