Youâd never hear Liverpool fans booing their team like Manchester City did in their win over Tottenham last night.
Thatâs according to former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy. Speaking to TalkSPORT today, Murphy labelled the fans who booed their team off at half-time last night âspoilt.â
âYou wouldnât get that at Anfield. No chance,â said the pundit. âItâs [City] a spoilt fanbase. [At Liverpool thereâs ] A different mindset and different way of thinking. Have you heard them boo Klopp yet? And theyâre sitting in, what, ninth.â
It was certainly a shock to hear the boos ring out at the Etihad last night. City may have been 2-0 down to Spurs, but they duly turned it around and won 4-2. Just the four titles in five seasons. It beggars belief, it really does.
City fans, are you not entertained?
It isnât necessarily that you wouldnât hear booing at Anfield ever. There was certainly plenty of open dissent during Roy Hodgsonâs time at the club, for instance.
But should Liverpool ever find themselves in the position that City currently are, itâs hard to believe that their fans would boo.
Four titles in five seasons is just ridiculously dominant. How dare Pep Guardiola and his players find themselves eight points off the top in second-place this season!
The entitlement is truly staggering. Unfortunately, thatâs what you get when you have a club with unlimited resources winning things for fun.
It isnât all the City fans, of course it isnât. But it was loud enough to come through pretty clearly on the telly.
This season hasnât been perfect for them, to be fair, and they have lost two on the spin. At half-time last night that looked like being three.
Murphyâs point still stands, though. Liverpool have been far, far worse this season and you havenât heard a peep from Anfield. And you wonât.
Unlike City supportersâ view of things, these players and this manager have more than enough credit in the bank to prevent that. In fact, these are the times when Jurgen Klopp and his boys need the fans more than ever. And theyâll get that support. To those who booed at City last night, give your heads a wobble.
