Liverpool fans have criticized the club's decision to comply with a Premier League request to mark the King's coronation at Anfield ahead of Saturday's game against Brentford.
With the Premier League recommending all clubs to play 'God Save the King' ahead of their matches this weekend, Liverpool, according to reports, believe they have been placed in an impossible situation. .
Liverpool are said to be 'aware that the power of emotion in this matter has put them in an impossible position, with Anfield fans having a personal choice about how they mark their crowning glory. and react to the national anthem being played'.
The probable thinking behind Liverpool's decision to play the national anthem, despite rejection from key stakeholders, is that they will be criticized for not doing so.
But some supporters say that by playing the song, they are blaming the fans.
"You can be crowned with your butt" could be heard from The Kop on Wednesday and the anthem is expected to be widely booed at Anfield on Saturday. Author Tony Evans commented on the situation of the letter i, writing:
“The club has two options. Skip the coronation or continue to pay tribute to the monarchy. Either way will trigger a tsunami of criticism.
Actor Adam Smith wrote on Twitter:
“Absolutely pathetic and without the backbone of the club.
“There is no doubt about doing without it. A demonstration that the club cares more about the Premier League than its own supporters.
This sentiment was widely shared by supporters. Yes I do not understand. Basically, they decided to protect themselves rather than us.

There's no excuse for it. It's strange to come to that conclusion. And it's not a directive. The clubs had a choice and Liverpool followed suit. The club are happy to line up with the group of fans when it suits them. Why not now?

I can't remember the last time I was in a final and the game was played and not booed? Maybe 2001? This is not a surprise or news
But the gammon and 90% of the press will resent it and amplify it
A dog bites a man

"The media and FA love to see Liverpool get into this trash so they can pretend to be angry when they get booed." – Jonny Logan on Facebook.
More seriously, it would be better if the power didn't dry out the fans, but ???? https:

"Of course, it's a personal choice of how those at Anfield on Saturday will mark the occasion and we know some supporters have strong views on that."
Apparently, the club feel they have been put in a 'damn if they do, damn if they don't' situation. https:

However, the reaction from the grassroots media is often against Liverpool, which further demonstrates why trash like this is booed around the city. – James Nalton (@JDNalton) May 5, 2023
Most have already decided how they will mark events at Anfield.
Tony Evans continues in i:
“Not all Liverpool fans will boo. Anfield attracts royalists, conservatives and those at odds with the monarchy.
"However, the Premier League knows that much of the inside will speak out against it. There's nothing the club can do to stop it. "Except for one thing. Let's skip the coronation. Liverpool can't do it. They're cursed if they do and cursed if they don't. The Premier League has made a real royal mess."
