The atmosphere at Anfield against Chelsea felt toxic at times.
Not normal frustration. Real anger.
The boos when Rio Ngumoha was taken off said a lot, but the reaction at full-time said even more.
It genuinely felt like supporters snapping after months of watching the same thing over and over again.
And the truth is Liverpool fans have actually been patient.
They’ve sat through bad defeats, poor performances and football that just feels passive and lifeless at times.
Every week supporters keep hoping they’ll see improvement, but instead it’s the same problems again.
Liverpool go ahead in games and then stop playing.
The tempo drops, the confidence disappears and the team slowly invites pressure onto themselves.
That’s why the mood inside the ground is changing now.
It’s not just one bad result anymore.
It’s the feeling that nothing is improving.
You probably have to go back to the final weeks of Roy Hodgson to remember a Liverpool manager getting this kind of reaction at Anfield.
That’s how bad the atmosphere is becoming.
For a long time, people still gave Arne Slot the benefit of the doubt because of what he achieved in his first season.
But today honestly felt different.
It felt like a lot of supporters have finally had enough.
