Jurgen Klopp was absent from the match as he was in the hospital having his appendix removed
Supporters protesting against owners, fans rowing with fans, fans arguing with players and a team which saw fit to wave the white flag to go with the black ones on The Kop.
Anfield witnessed a movement on Saturday, but it was the exact opposite of the one which their manager is trying to mobilise. Harmony was replaced by discord and unity with division. By the end, Sunderland’s comeback brought with it derision as well.
Whether it was 10 or 10,000 disaffected supporters who left their seats in the 77th minute and angrily trudged towards the exit, voting with their feet about a rise in ticket prices next season and chanting ‘Enough is Enough, You Greedy Bastards,’ does not really matter.
In the event, the number was far in excess of what Liverpool’s hierarchy had envisaged which proved their second costly miscalculation of the week after the initial announcement of the new tariffs some of which go up to £77 hence the symbolic timing of the walkout.
