According to Independent Hearing Professionals those at Old Trafford were the loudest in the Premier League last season, despite only finishing fourth.
Arsenal fans, usually dismissed as quiet, actually made the Emirates Stadium the seventh loudest in the league. Roaring on the likes of Alexis Sánchez (and, let’s be honest, berating referees) Gooners generated 158 decibels.
Meanwhile only Aston Villa and West Ham fans were quieter than those at Anfield. We are constantly told about the famous Kop but, despite having the sixth biggest stadium in the league Liverpool fans were the third quietest. My take on this is that fans are not happy with the performance, it's difficult to cheer when you are disappointed.

That theory does not hold water vish there are many clubs in the premiership who have far worse performance than liverpool and have a better atmoshere. I go to anfield and have been excited but I make no noise because I am a middle aged sensible person rather like the rest who go to anfield young people have been priced out but not the case at other clubs like West Ham for example

That's so intersting. First of all the draw, what pot are we in? Are we still in the 1:st after all? We are ranked in 55:th place in Europe, and Everton are in 67:th. How many million £'s have they spent on new players over the last 3 years? It's unbelievable that we are so poor, and yet keep spending and acting as if we are up there among the top clubs. We are probably the club in the Europa Leage that have spent the most over the last 3 years, so I expect us to through it and win the title!

12 months ago, the Reds were preparing for their long-awaited return to Europe’s elite competition after qualifying for the Champions League for the first time since 2009.
That return was short lived, eliminated in the group stages despite a pretty favourable draw, managing just one win in six games – and that being via a late penalty in injury time against lowly Ludogorets.
Brendan Rodgers‘ side dropped into the Europa League, and were promptly dumped out of that at the first attempt too, with Turkish side Besiktas winning the last 32 tie on penalties.
A sixth-place finish in the Premier League last season meant Rodgers’ side scraped a place in 2015/16’s Europa League, the draw for the group stages takes place on August 28th.
> Europa League 2015/16: Dates and info
All this means Liverpool continue to fall down UEFA’s club rankings, entering the new season in 55th place – below clubs such as Apoel, Tranzonspor, Metalist Kharkiv and Genk.
In 2009, Liverpool were ranked the No. 1 side in Europe, based on UEFA’s coefficient – which ranks teams based on results and standard of opposition in European competitions over the last 5 seasons.
British sides ranked about the Reds are: Chelsea (4th), Arsenal (7th), Man City (16th), Man United (20th), Tottenham (24th) and Celtic (46th).
Everton are in 67th.

And it works both ways Vish. Those who show even a glimmer of positivity get shouted down as quickly as anyone for being a doom monger. Remind me again what you think of redscouser?

A decent showing in Europe (quarters or semis) would probably see us shoot back up in those rankings, don't really see how they're skewed though Wilks, and to drop from 1-55 in the space of 6 years is shocking no matter how you look at it.

What I meant by that is the teams mentioned, Apoel etc. usually qualify most years as there aren't many good teams in their leagues so they get some good coefficient. It's like the FIFA rankings and how teams that aren't that good (USA) get high up in them as they mainly play lowly opposition.

Rodscouser says that Rodgers is the best thing could ever has happen to LFC and on practically all posts and in my mind without proper justification. What I do is show my opinion except when he is close to being a wum probably without doing it on purpose

We won one game in Europe last season, that says a lot to me.

But these rankings can be deceptive and doesn't mean that Apoel or whoever are better than us just because they're higher in the rankings. Would you say that Wales are or have a better squad than Spain as an example from the FIFA rankings?
