West Ham United striker Michail Antonio speaks on Liverpool fans and the Anfield atmosphere
West Ham’s Michail Antonio has spoken out about the incredible support that Liverpool FC receives from its fans. On The Footballer’s Football Podcast, Antonio spoke highly about the Liverpool supporters and Anfield.
“It’s unbelievable,”
“When it’s going it’s unbelievable. That’s one thing I have to say about Anfield.”
This statement speaks volumes about the impact that Liverpool’s fans have on their players and the opposition. Antonio has played against Liverpool twelve times, scoring five goals during those matches.
As an experienced player, he knows the difference that a stadium’s atmosphere can make to a team’s performance. Liverpool’s fans are passionate and dedicated, and they make sure to show their support in every match.
Despite challenges this season, Liverpool can rely on their fans’ unwavering support. Their supporters have the power to influence game outcomes, making Liverpool possibly the only team in the Premier League with such a dedicated fan base. Anfield is feared by visiting teams, especially in European fixtures, due to its reputation as an impregnable fortress.

The support of the fans singing and chanting You’ll Never Walk Alone can elevate the XI on the pitch, pushing them on and giving them that extra burst of life. It’s something that Liverpool’s players have commented on time and time again. This type of support can make a world of difference, especially in tight games or when the team is struggling.
Antonio is not the only Premier League footballer who feels this way about Liverpool’s fans. There are likely many players across the league who respect the power of Anfield’s supporters. It’s clear that the fans are a significant part of what makes Liverpool FC such a special and successful club.
As the end of the season approaches, Liverpool need to ensure that their fans continue to show up and show their support. The team is still in contention for a top-four finish and would hope to get through to the UEFA Champions League for the next season.
However, they’ll need the help of their fans to achieve these goals. In conclusion, Liverpool’s supporters are the backbone of the club. Their passion and dedication are unrivalled, and they create an atmosphere at Anfield that is second to none.
