Never been to Anfield and barely turns left out of his room in his mums house to go to the shower.

Like most of their "fans" who are "top reds" then.

The anfield atmosphere is a myth

They only sing their bollocks anthem just before the KO - and the media make the most of it

Rest of the time it's a lot quieter than the Etihad

Not according to Micah Richard’s on the Rest is Football Pod -the Atmosphere was brilliant as usual

Akanji last season was penalised in the home game for a 'foul' on Alisson before Dias put the ball in the net, take it this is not the Akanji incident being referred to?

Anyone have the stats on when an opposition team was last awarded a penalty at Anfield? Maresco's post-match comments were much the same as Pep after the Milner non-red card debacle when he said "this is Anfield".

I am wondering if Mahrez's in 2018 (which is still travelling towards Mars on last reports) was the last one.

I think Burnley got one in early 2021 when the stadium was empty post covid and beat them 1-0.
No crowd influencing the ref that day....

But you are right pks are never awarded v them at Klanfield and very rarely away. However pk awarded TO THEM entirely different set of stats....

Same here. Not even Liverpool fans think the atmosphere is brilliant, Apart from a handful of big games Anfield is like a morgue and has been for decades. The Anfield atmosphere is one of the biggest myths in football. It was incredibly loud there in the 70s and 80s but not since.

The Telegraph yesterday was all a-splutter suggesting that the Dippers had passed their first test. I thought they'd failed the first test when Forest turned up at Anfield.

 

[Whether or not]

Someone ain't happy ha ha ha

The bit at the end sums up the bitterness of this clown and the rest of the cult, where he says he does not care if it was a valid goal or not, it should be disallowed anyway. Substitute the 115 charges, they don’t care if we are actually guilty of anything, we should be relegated, titles stripped, expelled, etc, anyway. I do hope this bedroom dwelling simpleton does a broadcast the day we are cleared.

It’s not a myth for big games. Most weeks Anfield is the same as any other stadium in the country. But there’s not a better atmosphere for big games than Anfield simply because the Kop with its 12,000+ deep one tier and low deep roof helps boom out a massive noise and it’s easy for the rest of the ground to join in with whatever is sung.

Last season in the second half against us the atmosphere was incredible. City fans who went to the CL game there say it was the best they’d ever heard as a visiting fan to another ground.

But give any set of fans Anfield as a stadium (not the prettiest by any stretch) and they’d also make it the best atmosphere in the country for big games because of the set up. Give City a stand like the Kop at the Etihad and we’d have a fantastic stand and atmosphere that everyone would talk about and for the club to market as well (which is why it’s fucking baffling City seemingly want to miss the opportunity with the new NSL2!).

It does also help that most of their songs aren’t those clap along quieter songs and their songs have the big long notes that are dead loud.

Saying that, Lpool fans are saying that the Kop is starting to become tourist central and that new big tier at the Anfield Road end is pretty much all the shit kind of fans everyone hates and it’s affected Anfield’s atmosphere for the worse since opening. Their first big game of the season and the atmosphere was only ‘okay’ on Sunday.
