Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is no more comfortable among the usually rowdy crowd at Anfield after TV commentator Gary Neville and United enthusiasts reported something similar at his recent stopover at the stadium.
In their last Premier League game, Manchester United picked up a respectable point against their bitter rivals when Neville, on duty for Sky Sports, diverted attention from the pitch to what was happening in the stands. He said it was the worst environment he’s ever had. experienced at Anfield.
Back in action at the same venue on Tuesday night, Liverpool convinced the winners against West Ham in their Carabao Cup quarter-final match. However, while the Reds shone on the pitch scoring five goals, Klopp was unimpressed by the noise around him. .

Liverpool will face Premier League rivals Arsenal at Anfield on Saturday night. Raising a rallying cry for that, Klopp said: “We want Anfield on Saturday [vs Arsenal].
“Arsenal haven’t played this week. Anyone who knows anything about them knows they’ll be ready, that’s why we want Anfield to be on its feet from the first second, without me having a fight with the opposing manager. “
Klopp, 56, continued: “If there’s too much football in December or you’re not fit, give your ticket to someone else. In the first half [against West Ham], when the boys were playing exceptionally well, I was not very satisfied with the environment.
The football season is now upon us and with 500 live games to watch, as well access to Cricket, Golf, F1, Boxing, NFL and the NBA across eight dedicated channels, Sky Sports is the only way to watch all the action.

“I asked people, ‘What do you want?'” We turned things around and ruled West Ham like crazy and missed chances. If I was in the stands, I’d be on guard, 1,000 percent. I don’t know if the game against United is as bad as we have to say. Sorry, we didn’t run them over.
Speaking about the crowd at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, former United player Neville said: “The atmosphere is the worst I’ve ever noticed at Anfield.
“I’ve been full praise for the Liverpool fans, it’s the biggest crowd they’ve had here in 60 or 70 years, but it’s the quietest crowd I’ve noticed at that game [Liverpool v Manchester United]. “
United fans also chanted ‘where’s your famous atmosphere?’ in a dig at the Liverpool crowd during the clash.
