'Famous Anfield atmosphere a myth'

It's not easy to admit this as a Red, but, quite often, the famous Anfield atmosphere really is a myth.
Having gone 2-0 down to Brighton, Liverpool rallied and went 3-2 up in the 64th minute - an impressive turnaround.
But the crowd's reaction to Liverpool's third goal, albeit an own goal, was tepid. A quick cheer and a smattering of applause, not the raucous celebration you'd expect from a big turnaround goal.
Why?
There is a sense of expectation from many who sit in Anfield - both day-trippers and season ticket-holders - that they should and will be entertained, especially during daytime matches against supposedly lesser opponents. But really, a supporter's job is to support.
It was almost like many who witnessed Liverpool's third goal were disappointed it was an ugly own goal and not a Mohamed Salah thunderbolt.
Sometimes the fans need to recognise when the team is in a difficult moment and make the noise to inject some energy and fight into their veins.
