Goal Plunges Team into Glory; Fans Dance in Excitement!

On all ten occasions, that late concession has turned a win into a draw or a draw into a loss. No team in the top five leagues in Europe has a worse record when it comes to late goals against and dropped points. The cumulative effect of watching miserable football week in and week out and only being able to get mediocre results from it is starting to take a toll on supporters, as fans reacted to Tottenham’s late goal on the weekend by starting to leave before the final whistle and the remaining crowd audibly booing when the match ended.
The question now is if a tipping point has been reached. While there has been criticism of head coach Arne Slot away from Anfield, when the games kick off supporters have mostly tried to get behind the team—or at least not made any discontent clear, even if the team has repeatedly failed to give them much of anything to cheer. “The booing at the end, that was proper booing from a disgruntled and unhappy fanbase,” former Liverpool defender and now Sky pundit Jamie Carragher said when talk turned to Sunday’s disappointing 1-1 draw on Monday Night Football.
“I think it’s going to be really difficult now for Arne Slot to get them back. “Once you do lose that crowd, though, it can be really difficult to get them back. It isn’t easy to get a Liverpool crowd to turn on a manager when he’s won the title less than a year before, but I felt there was maybe a big shift in the game on Sunday in terms of how the crowd were feeling about the team and the manager.
