I was block 108. That Si Senor chorus was special. Swell of noise came from behind us (thanks!) and seemed to build and snowball around the ground....just a shame he couldn’t score!Here is my match report from the Kop:
Couple of hours before the game, the message was spreading from Jurgen. Bring your voices, leave your soul on the pitch. Word was go in early, a whole 45 mins early - none of this get to my seat 5 mins before kick off.
And so to our seats - 2nd from the back of the kop - block 305. Its famous.
Flags were out, voices were ready... just needed the spark on the pitch. Jurgen called, we were going to deliver. That was clear.
And so the game unfolded. Block 305 is where many of the chants start, then rest of the kop follows, which then spreads through the stadium... and here I was. It was my first time in this block. A lot of emotion here.
One guy, a few seats away from me, but in the back row - was hitting the steel wall - and to a great beat. The conductor. More on him later.
The performance on the pitch unfolded. Players were up for it. It was clear. The pitch was green, the wind had subsided. The ref would have to be a complete wanker if he was going to screw this up for us - let’s not give him the chance.
And so our voices and souls - we conquered all of Europe, si senor, calm as you like, marching in etc etc - block 305 gave it all the first half - led by the conductor.
They delivered on the pitch, with the help of 50000 souls that Jurgen had asked for.
Half time, no reception - what were the other scores. Should I cash out my stingy 3-0 bet? Phone not connecting. Go in to the stand and see the other scores - none of them meant anything. Well, Everton were losing - but it meant nothing.
2-0, let’s finish this. 2nd half starts.
3-0. Easy.
Then the conductor starts. Si senor - it went on and on and on and on - could you hear it?
It was 10 minute transient chant. Our souls were singing, shouting, sending a message. Even the conductor stopped probably because his arms got broken - but the kop carried him - and he continued. This was relentless from us.
My mates in other stands heard it. It was a significant moment. Really significant. Collective energy, belief, and will power.
We’re never going to stop. But it was si senor. Bobbys song requested from Klopp. It was splendour. It really was.
And the game finished.
So Jurgen, do we go collect our souls that we left on the pitch?
No you don’t need to, because by giving, you receive. An old proverb I’m sure.
And I leave anfield again - but I think it’s different this time.
I know our club has something magical about it, which is why I’m with it... but it’s hsppening now. It’s awake, alive, and becoming almighty.
The players need us... it’s clear.
Ask the conductor.
Anfield sang its soul on to the pitch. Cant wait to hear from @Commando @ILLOK @Red_Jedi and @dockers_strike.
Wow @Red_Jedi that's an epic post. It really gets over the atmosphere in the ground. I thought that it was brilliant all over the place today. No matter where a song started Kop, Main Stand or once or twice the Annie Road, the rest of the ground joined in. Bobby's song in the second half was mesmerising. Like a religious chant or a hymn. As was YNWA at the end. I'm sure that the players will have come off the pitch feeling that they'd shared something with the 50,000 souls that were there cheering them on. It'll be a great feeling for them to carry with them over the next two weeks until we meet Manure at the old toilet.Here is my match report from the Kop:

He is a dreamboat, that's for sure.Gini’s smile is worth MotM alone.
against united, i would go with hendo instead of naby and push gini forward...Perhaps our best midfield three, hope Klopp sees it that way and fields the same three against Bayern and United.
If Keita can continue to improve and offer anything like Oxlade type performances, it'll be a massive help.
Interesting that Gini wasn't first choice at the time of last season's CL SF 1st leg and is now our best midfield player.
I did include a “big if” in the sarcastic parade banner banter just to avoid exactly this :well done:Positives......
3 points,
3 goals,
clean sheet,
great atmosphere
brill performance and very a difficult choice for MOM,
which show how good the team played!
Negative.....
Sorry for putting a damper on a great day but...
Talk of making a parade banner, and other title winning talk!
I know we have waited a long time to win the title and we are desperate to win it and getting more and more excited
but lets try to stay grounded and not get ahead of our self, as there are 12 games to go and anything can happen,
Lets take 1 game at a time,
and not get too carried away,
and keep the pressure of ourselves and the team
at least until we are down to our last few games of the season anyway,
Sorry for putting a dampener on a great day,
but I mean well![]()
He is just lining himself up for the Spurs job, showing the needed ability to whingeComedy gold from Eddie Howe saying that without a goal that was “half a yard offside,” Bournemouth could have gotten something. Could have been 8-0, lad.
That said, Keita was excellent today; good ball retention, won the ball back a number of times and was consistently picking the right pass.
Good analysis @ILLOK. It was Keita's nice little pass with the outside of his right foot that enabled Bobby to set up Mo with the back heel. 100%, he is all about the confidence. If that comes, he will be on fire.especially Matip. His lack of strength and balance is a big concern and there was some really sloppy passing today from him too
Gonna contradict everything i just said, just this once!I did include a “big if” in the sarcastic parade banner banter just to avoid exactly this :well done:
lol :well done:Good performance today that with more clinical finishing would have seen us win by five or six...
Gini deservedly motm and Keita starting to show glimpses of the player he was at RB.
Highlights of the game personally were watching my teenage lad try not to snigger every time the commentator on Bein Sports 2 called their No.3 'Stiff Cock'...

I suggest you move this post to the Brexit thread.Oh the average English speaker doesn’t understand the meanng of the word ‘if’ ......... its far too challenging and generally causes confusion and ‘misunderstandings’! :well done:
