Martinez: Everton players fear Goodison Crowd, by GrandOldTeam

Roberto Martinez reckons his Everton players play with doubt and fear at Goodison Park and has suggested “we need to make it comfortable for our players”.

Everton have only won three games at home all season, and when asked about their defensive mishaps against Swansea, he replied: “It happens at home more than anywhere else. I don’t think we have that sort of doubt and fear [away from home].

“We’re a team who knows exactly what it is doing. We’ve got really good individuals with fantastic character who care about what they do but our defensive record at home this season is not good enough.

“It doesn’t go along with what we are as a team and doesn’t go along with what we produce away from home. It’s clearly something we need to work on.

“We have six games left at home and they’re vital games for us. We need to make it comfortable for our players. We need to make sure we find a way to perform at Goodison.”

He explicitly said the lower gladdy is full of wools and bad meffs.

He's not wrong but that doesn't excuse the run of performances

It's absolutely pathetic to even suggest it's the fans fault. We are everton and we expect home wins. If he can't deliver then he should resign.

Moding the moder! Now that's brave.

Match going fans pay part of both RM & the players wages.
If they are presented with dross and lack of passion, they (the fans) are well within their rights to make their feelings known (aka venting).
Give the fans what we crave, and we would back the team to hell & back

Gwlady, actually Friend.

He's banging nails in his coffin here.

He sounds desperate.

2014/2015 : 7 home wins, 5 away wins.
2015/2016: 3 home wins, 3 away wins.

Unleashed away from home.

Referees.... the home crowd... bad luck.... injuries... running out of excuses rapidly.

No Roberto, the players need to make it comfortable for the crowd, not the other way around.

It's not good to read him saying this as it will put further distance between team/manager and the home supporters.
