Are we to blame?

Would probably be better if they didn’t mate.

Ha ha… barely won at home last season with no fans. That was with a manager we wanted

 

[twoblue]

According to the BBC Football website, Benitez didn't say 'scared of the fans'.

One of the main issues that Benitez identified is that

‘some of Everton’s first-team players struggle to perform in front of the Goodison faithful and buckle under the expectations of the fanbase.’

England players had the same problem. Decent manager finally addressed the problem head on… voila… two semi finals and final…

I don't think it's Southgate , more that England finally have a squad with talent across the board. I think most/all of the england managers in recent years would be getting the same results. If anything I think you could make a case that the England team are performing well despite him...

Neither did most clubs in the league mate. Our fans are hideous, but thankfully not as bad as England fans yet.

Yes, yes we do, we are terrible people. Most of us think Everton are entitled to success because of the good spell they had in the 80s, have far too high expectations, and very little patience. It's only a matter of time before some start punching Police Horses in the head.

Well said mate.

The vast majority of Evertonians just want a team that puts in the effort on a consistent basis. Show us you're busting a gut trying to win, and we'll back you. Shrivel like a frightened turtle in the face of fan expectations and you can GTFO. Every sports team in the world has fans who expect a lot. Those teams that at least try to live up to those expectations are usually successful.

Well Everton aren’t so maybe the fans need to buck their ideas up mate.

They clearly struggle to perform in front of other team’s fans too seeing as we’ve won 1 away game this season.

I don't think we are to blame, maybe we are a tad over sentimental, 'if ya know ya history et al'. We live in a media age where everything is or can be devilered on a plate, you just have to dial up and flash your card at the screen. Surely then a well run club would manage the expectation of the supporters, so I will deflect it back at the club and exonerate the supporters ?

Where are these arl arses now?

This account has been stored like a fine bottle of wine. ?

The atmosphere surrounding the club is negative on the whole. Assign as much blame to each part as you want but the supporters are a part and we do matter.

@chicoazul

What did you make of the very loud "rondon you're [Poor language removed]" shout, shortly after we'd gone 2-1 up v Watford?

I've wondered on more than one occasion if it had an affect. 2-1 up at home is not the time for shouts like that, is it?

Edit: Soz mods, was just quoting, but expect a deserved warning.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

Good ebening Chico.

Of course I vote for screens. Because they make me angry. Theese is a fact.

But, of course I also hate Eberton. Theese is a fact.

I am, of course, conflicted. But I voted for screens.
