What the hell has the schedule got to do with it ?
If a team is there to be buried, bury them - END OF !
Taking it easy is for when six clear.
We need a sustained killer instinct, it needs to be the pre-requisite, a necessity, part of our DNA.
I've been watching and following the Blues since the 69/70 season, so I think I've got a pretty fair view of our lack of killer instinct over time and my attitude on footie is a + b = c where a equals winning, b equals playing with panache and style and the C is therefore the epitome of The School of Science... if this equation is a problem for you, then you've got the problem, not me... with respect.

Erm...everything? Our squad is already tiny, and we suffered a hell of a lot of injuries last season, so you honestly dont believe that running about like nutters at 3-0 up is counter productive when you've 4 other games and a hell of a lot of traveling in less than 2 weeks after that?

Of course everybody wants to play boss stuff and smash every team 6-0. No team in history ever has though, and anyone with even a modicum of common football sense knows there is a time and place for everything. I hate timewasting, but we're 1-0 up with 10 men in the last minute, Ill take it all day. Even the greatest sides in football history had to dig in and play a bit differently sometimes, so why start bloody moaning after comfortable wins?

Ive just read you said you were happy with a draw from the Palace game, but fuming after the QPR win. There is definitely something wrong with your attitude then. You're cryarsing about a lack of a killer instinct, that Palace game summed that up more than most this season, because we absolutely dominated the game, and ended up feeling relieved with a point because we gave away a stupid goal late on. Yet you were satisfied with that, but 'fuming' with a win over QPR because we didnt win them enough? There's the problem with our fans in a nutshell.
 
modern times I suppose. in my day standing in the gwaldys I rarely could see much of the game with most in front of me being wider and taller, so relied on the oooh's and aaah's and the surges back and to to know what was happening. we sang a lot to compensate. now days I can sit there, watch and analyse the game so no time for singing. only tv about football was kick off on a fri night and football focus on sat so there wasn't any in depth analasys of players, tactics, statistics etc that came from fellow blues at the next game.

Excuse me, but if you seriously think we absolutely dominated the Palace game, then I am amazed.

That, for me, was a fine game of footie. Two decent teams having a good go at each other and on the night, in my opinion, a draw was just about right. Of course I'd have liked us to have win it and we perhaps should have done, but all things considered, in my opinion, the draw was about right.

The QPR game last season - now that, at least for a good 60-65 minutes we did ABSOLUTELY dominate, to the point where had we scored six, nobody would have been in the slightest bit surprised, whereas only bagging three was a surprise bordering on major league disappointment.

Like I said and will always say. I want Everton to win every game, but I'm not so one-eyed as to not see if the opposition deserve something.
Take Sunday, Spurs bossed the first half and could and perhaps should have been 3-0 up at HT.
We, in my opinion, had the better of the second half without forcing a winner and in the end a 1-1 draw was the right result.

There's nowt wrong with my attitude at all, in my opinion.
I want to watch entertaining footie preferably with Everton winning.
What I don't like is a dominant team failing or seemingly choosing to back off.

"No. The player booed was Phil Jagielka, for retaining possession in the 90th minute of a match Everton were leading 3-1. It beggared belief."

As I said, it was the 90th minute, we were closing out the game and the captain was booed. Pathetic support.

On a different note, I think the sarcastic applause for Howard is wrong, but think the frustration at Stones messing it round with it on his 6 yard box was justified. He needs to learn when to just get rid and the anger at that was justified in my opinion.

Was it really a chorus of boos or a mass OH FF'S jags what are you doing, sigh,moan?
 
Booing amazes me, as there is no real positive you can take from it

sad state of affairs when you go to a game and feel the need to boo

It doesn't help, but guess people who boo know that anyway
 

As we don't have positive rep anymore, can we constrain our wanton need to boo, by being able to boo posts on here?

This might reduce the booing at Goodison but still relieve the need for the more vocal critiques (not supporters - as in the positive) to air their angst.

Goodison is not X factor or talent show

Booing of Clattenburg only please.
 

I think booing is old hat now we need a new way to show are discontent, maybe all hiss or something, and I don't mean in a racist way when we play Spurs so pipe down, keep it fresh and change it from week to week.
