Is Goodison no longer a fortress?

[tonyhorne]

Yeah, we even lost to Wigan a few years ago. Oh..........

 

[Carlito]

I think teams that we'd usually expect to turn over at Goodison are coming with a plan which generally works.

How about "5 things we learned about the fortress-like nature of Goodison?"

Plan A: Wait until they pass to us 30 yards from their goal......

I blame the fans and Naismith

You fool! Are you trying to get us locked?

 

[StuBarlow]

Goodison unfortunately hasn't been a fortress for years!

 

[ToffeeDan]

It's just our usual pre-Chrimbo home form and with a number of tough home games to come maybe it won't get better.

2, to be precise.

At least it's not a Tesco superstore which it would now be if Destination Kirkby had happened.

Defo not a fortess at all, if it ever was it isn't now. Stoke is more of a fortess, no one likes going there. Goodision is too quite now to be a fortress, unless we play a big side, who are less likely to be intimidated anyway. Play a side who have players with little experience of the big game and we are more on our players backs then theres.
Was good today thou, but that was never going to help us against a team like City.

Needs to be like that every week. I'm convinced if our fans recreated the old atmosphere it would give us them extra points.

How about 5 modern football cliches that are destroying your will to live?

1. Referring to x as a "false number 9"
2. Regerring to OT as "the theatre of dreams"
3. Referring to a stadium as Fortress X

 

[bring the ghost on]

Mate i see Goodison as more of a theatre of dreams than a fortress.

Was good to see Rom playing the flase number 9 role today.

 

[bring the ghost on]

By theatre of dreams, I mean theatre where dreams are crushed on a regular basis.
