Etihad Atmosphere - 2021/22

[Tim of the Oak]

Funny, today was nowhere near as good and loud as Brighton but aload more in today!

Yes the game against Brighton was better mate.

it's no wonder . 5-1 up after 53 mins and we turn it into a training session. goal difference could be absolutely vital .
i get the preserving energy bit but come on how many of those players at the end will start v RM.

i was bored to tears.

“Are you not entertained? Are you not entertained? Is this not why you are here?”

Bonkers mate.

Before the match loads said they'd be happy with a shitty 1 nil win!

You should just enjoy and appreciate the points were in the bag

Sat right behind Pep today and it was a good insight. Basically it was quiet and shit and it sounds much worse at pitch level than it does in level 3. I’ve given up making excuses, blaming acoustics and song choices and all that stuff. Unless the club grasp the mettle and make some serious changes we have a shit product to sell at the moment. I think that the poor atmosphere is now part of the club culture and is one of the reasons that glory hunting kids are choosing Liverpool and not us.

Unless someone gets hold of this and makes some radical choices then we have a problem in the club DNA. I’d love to advise them on solutions because it is still solvable, but it’s drifting away.

Not long ago we were the club with a shit team but great support. Now we are the opposite. We either bite the bullet or that’s what we are for the future.

Two fellas next to me spent 85 minutes slagging off Grealish, moaning in general and didn’t join in one song. And that’s in the south stand standing area. I don’t care if these fuckers have supported City for 50 years, used to do every home and away, spent decades on the Kippax or whatever, we have far too many whingeing old cunts turning up out of habit who have no clue that this is the best football they’ve ever seen or will ever see. We‘d be better off without them and I wish they’d just fuck off.

Bless

I agree. We need to get the 3,000 fans who go away together but as others have said it's too difficult at the moment. We have the safe standing in the south stand but it's such a mixture of kids, older people, women etcetera that some sing and try and get it going but loads just won't join in. The three tiers in the south stand just don't work as each tier can't hear the other and it's just disorganised. It is what it is and like you I don't see any great improvement on the horizon

There is radical solution but they won’t do it . They need to acknowledge that just like at Wembley or arsenal, the sound which starts up near the roof is the sound which becomes a proper noise.

If anyone doubts this, watch a video of the game against atletico. They had less that 2k under That roof making a din. If we had the same on the other side of that stand the ground would join in much more. The current scenario is almost the perfect worse case scenario with a few hundred people desperately clapping to get songs going around them which will never spread because clapalong along songs never spread.

If they are choosing Liverpool over us due to a shit atmosphere then what explains the shit atmosphere for Watford’s visit to Anfield two weeks ago?
