Liverpool game... 12th man

The atmosphere is very over rated at Anfield. I don't know where this myth comes from but there are much better atmospheres at many other grounds around the country. It was like a fucking library before the goal. A lot of foreigners around aswell, every time I looked at the home fans someone was always taking a picture or filming the game.

You never hear the Kop from the away end unless it's very loud. Accoustics are poor.
 
I've been to Anfield several times to see them against Palace. I think its the loudest premiership ground I have been too. The effect of the crowd is greatly underestimated in football. I remember Hansen making a typical arrogant comment about how the crowd has never won a football match, but I don't think that is true. A great crowd can make you play that fraction better and intimidate the opponent. A big reason Liverpool beat Chelsea in 05 CL was due to the crowd.

As a Palace fan I know that we have fantastic support and before we were sold to sell half our squad, it was a small part in why we had such a fantastic home record.

On another note a good crowd will make refs give them home team decisions.
 
where has this great atnosphere myth come from? ive been 4 times to anfield now every single time the atnosphere is shocking!!!
 
Was at the game yesterday , just sat watching it again , can't believe what i am hearing from the loud mouth of Niall Quinn , has this guy completely forgotten his roots. I am all for unbiased pundits , but he seems to be taking it to new levels , not happy , not happy at all !!!!
 
I think people make a little too much of the atmosphere in relation to player performance. Ive heard players say they generally tune it out. Granted it makes for great TV, but I dont buy that it makes teams play to a higher level.
 
Against Hamburg in the European tie Johl and the Hamburg team said the atmosphere took them by suprise and affected them.It lifted the City team too.It was one of the best i have heard in our new stadium.

I wish it could get there from the off every game.Anfield was a fortress in the standing days of the kop as the noise and intimidation was incredible.
