Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre has defended the clubs owners Fenway Sports Group ahead of a proposed ticket price protest by suggesting fans should be careful what they wish for. Joe Mixon Jersey . Supporters groups are planning the first walkout in Anfields 132-year history in the 77th minute of Saturdays match against Sunderland after a £77 match ticket (up from £59) and a £1,000 season ticket were announced this week.The club argue the new structure offers greater accessibility and affordability. This includes 45 per cent of match ticket prices decreasing, 64 per cent of season tickets reduced or staying the same in cost and around 1500 £9 tickets for category C games. Ayre told Sky Sports News HQ: We are not pricing anybody out - its the opposite. If anything we are trying to add to what is uniquely Anfield.We are trying to add more atmosphere coming from local people and younger people. We think we are ticking the right boxes and not the wrong ones. We are certainly not trying to turn fans into customers.Earlier this week fans group Spirit of Shankly criticised FSG, the clubs American owners, claiming they refused to respond directly to concerns during the consultation period and SoS and Spion Kop 1906 are now urging fans to act during the game.People should be careful what they wish for, added Ayre. For those of us who were around when we didnt have these types of owners making these type of decisions the club was in a real mess. No Sturridge problem Jurgen Klopp dismisses reports of Daniel Sturridge exit We have great owners - that £100m came interest-free and they dont take a penny out of this football club.People should make their own decisions but I feel absolutely we have made the right decision and have everyones best interests at heart.The protest plans are gathering momentum but it remains to be seen how many will actually take direct action on Saturday. Chief executive Ian Ayre welcomed Jurgen Klopp at Anfield in October Ayre urged those considering walking out to go back and look at the whole ticket package the club was offering.I respect everyones right to do what they think is right but for every fan thinking about that I would say Have a look at the facts, he added.You might be walking out for something you are not quite understanding. If people want to leave after 77 minutes that is disappointing but it shouldnt be because they feel the prices are wrong as there is something for everyone in there.

The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder put it simply after his team lost to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Kawhi Leonard was really good.Leonard scored 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Spurs avenged their lone loss of the season with a 100-86 victory over the Jazz.The Spurs bounced back from a 15-point home loss to the Jazz on Tuesday after losing just one game in San Antonio all of last season.I expected for them to come out and try to get off to a great start and just sustain, and they did that, Jazz forward Joe Johnson said. After we kind of hit first, they withstood the first five minutes and made a run of their own. We just never really got back.(Leonard) is shooting the ball unbelievable off picks. Hes handling off pick-and-rolls and making plays. Hes been tough to guard.The Jazz jumped to a 10-2 lead in the first quarter and an unhappy Spurs coach Gregg Popovich called a timeout just minutes into the game. The Spurs responded with a 29-7 run and the Jazz never led again.Utah got within seven points in the third quarter, but Leonard responded with five quick points and the Jazz never got within single digits the rest of the game.Leonard continued his MVP-caliber season by shooting 9 for 18 from the field while LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 points and six rebounds.Rodney Hood led the Jazz with 18 points, but they shot just 37.5 percent.Its only two games, Popovich said about facing the Jazz twice. You win some, you lose some. Its not necessarily (that we) discovered the Holy Grail and instituted it tonight and won the game because of it. We played better.TIP-INSSpurs: G Tony Parker missed the game due to right knee soreness. He did not travel with the team. ... Patty Mills started at point guard and scored 16 points to go wwith three rebounds and three assists. Jordan Willis Bengals Jersey. Patty is a great offensive player and he has been playing really well running the offense, Spurs center Pau Gasol said. Tony is a very important player for us, but if he is taking this time off its because he needs it.Jazz: Gordon Hayward went through a pregame workout with the fingers on his left hand taped up. The star forward is out indefinitely with a broken finger on his non-shooting hand. ... F Boris Diaw missed his second consecutive game with a right leg contusion.NO WARMUPSThe Jazz season has started with four playoff teams in their first six games, including the Spurs twice. They hit the road for five straight and seven of nine away from Salt Lake City.The biggest thing for me is, you hope for your team to continue to improve, Snyder said. That is the primary thing. If competition early can accelerate that process, that is a good thing. Theres been times where that competition early can knock you back. So it can go either way.QUOTABLEOur identity as a defensive team has to be something we hold on tighter to, Snyder said. You can call that lack of focus. Its more subtle in some ways. For me its a lot of little things we werent doing. They add up.We have to know if were not focused and were not ready to play defense, we wont. Its not habitual yet. Its not who we are yet and its who we need to become who we are.UP NEXTSpurs: Host the Los Angeles Clippers and point guard Chris Paul, who entered Friday with a league-high 3.25 steals per game, on Saturday.Jazz: Travel to face a New York Knicks team on Sunday, that improved to 2/3 after a win over the Bulls on Friday.
