Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to mock an image from Manchester City’s Premier League match against West Ham United.
This comes after Liverpool fan account @ScouserChrisLFC shared a post on their Twitter page that included an image of the Etihad Stadium during the match with some empty seats in it.
Is it acceptable to have empty seats in a Premier League match?
Yes in some circumstances
No, never
This post then gathered a lot of replies from Liverpool fans who were eager to share their thoughts on this image.
Here’s a sample of Liverpool fans making fun of the reigning Premier League champions:

The match in question saw Pep Guardiola’s side beat West Ham 2-0 in their rescheduled fixture that was postponed due to Storm Ciara. Now that an image of the empty seats at the Etihad for the midweek evening fixture has emerged on Twitter, this has opened the door for many Liverpool fans to make fun of their league rivals.
Vile behaviour that!.. And they reckon they’re a big team ?

What do we think?
Given that the image was taken just a few minutes into the match, people could still have been arriving at the stadium after battling the traffic and the weather. But it’s not great that the club still has empty seats for their rescheduled match against West Ham.
