Might sound a bit weird but I'd rather he didn't play. There's an increasingly toxic attitude at our games these days and that can't be good for his confidence and development.
Is there though?

My experience this season has been that Goodison has been very quiet, but not toxic. There were times in the Martinez years (QPR at home where we won 3-0 and Kiev at home which we also won spring to mind immediately) where the crowd was venomous, but it's been almost resigned this season I think. Yeah theres a bit of moaning and groaning, and some half hearted booing, but it's been dangerously close to apathetic if anything.
 

This worry that we boo and harass our own young players

say we do, if Ross, Kenny etc are from the stands, and 'one of us' then do you think that would make them tough enough to get it? Maybe they can understand that we are a sour, negative bunch, but equally if they play hard, even if they're not that good - we appreciate tough, fighting players who try to fight for our cause?

they only have to look at Niasse. That guy is piss poor but he tries when he's on the pitch and people appreciate it

But not talented ones who try to make things happen? Theres more than one kind of bravery in football, it's not all about flying into tackles running around a lot, actually wanting the ball takes a lot more bottle

I think it’s down to a lack of intelligence. Our fans seem to covet players who run about all day but the players who are more calculated and skilful whose contribution might not be so obvious to the mentally less gifted get hounded if they’re not running around like a headless chicken.
