Who are LASK?

Thought I’d have a watch of the Wolves game to see what it was like behind closed doors. Hideous is what I’d say and an absolute waste of time watching it.

I’m out.


It would be interesting to see how team's performance changes in games without fans. Players would be able to communicate with other much easier, and some players who may usually do much better in training vs matches because of nervousness playing in front of fans may suddenly become very good.


Just have a look at Anfield after the first minute and they stop singing YNWA.

Without the fans it becomes a training game, even a Sunday League game has more atmosphere. Watching a game without the fans does not work, and when you realise you’re paying for the privilege then you may as well be watching the Sunday League.

The top players thrive off the pressure, or the feel of the atmosphere, without it, we’ll probably find that a lot of them just won’t be up for it.

As Nunes has stated, ‘It’s absurd’.

Oh I wasn't saying that I want to see it happen. But you always hear stories of players who are amazing in training but let the matchday atmosphere get to them too much.

I'm just saying it would be interesting to see top teams play against each other as if they were at a park with no one really watching to see how they'd perform.

Fair one. Not sure if we’d get a performance out of Aguero ;-)

On the other hand we've heard how Kun was awful and passive in training but has been lethal in matches.
