Jurgen Klopp called for Anfield’s best and Anfield more than delivered against Arsenal during a 1-1 draw with Mikel Arteta’s men.
Despite this, it was disappointing to witness reports of Liverpool fans being escorted out of the stadium for standing up during the game in question.
Footage shared by @LFCSPARES96 on X (formerly Twitter), which appears to have been corroborated by the supporter in question, shows members of the police escorting fans out of the stands during the tie.
Whilst we can appreciate that safety protocols are in place to protect supporters during a game of football, it seems a shame that those committed to upholding Anfield’s world-beating atmosphere are getting penalised in the process.

That’s me, clubs a joke! Get thrown out for singing, the row in front off me were also stood up so I was not obstructing anyone. Apparently I was singled out as I was a ‘ringleader’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So much for Jurgen asking the fans to be “on their toes”., it gets you chucked out. Jurgen needs to address his concerns to FSG not the supporters. It’s not us that encourage the Club to focus on their corporate ‘partners’ and day trippers. If they want a decent atmosphere then focus on young locals who are the grandsons and grandaughters of “the famous Kopites”.
So you think only people who live in Liverpool should be allowed to attend? I live in New Zealand and I have been to many games at Anfield at great expense to myself. My passion for the club would equal anybody who lives there so why should I be penalised for not being a local? BTW I have supported them for over 50 years. To blame day trippers for the so called lack of atmosphere shows ignorance so maybe wake up
Well said. I agree with you 100%. What that clown is saying is like saying to footballers from anywhere in the world that you can’t play for LFC because you dont come from Liverpool. Where would the club be then. How many trophies would the club have won ?
