Martinez: Everton players fear Goodison Crowd

Went the game today. Crowd is ruthless with abuse to our own team. I don't think we were anywhere near bad enough to boo off the team at half time.
There's never any positivity and it f**ks me right off. I rarely go the game and I just want to chant and get stuck in but everyone just boots off the entire time instead. I'd start chants but I'm affraid people will look at me like I'm p*ssed and get me kicked out. I swear the atmosphere was better in the Walter Smith period.

Don't get me wrong, our performance today wasn't good enough and despite my comments above I still love Goodison, but I get where Bobby is coming from. It's no excuse but it doesn help at all: We're making it a hostile place for our own players.
 
Cringe cliche but football is a results business. Any other club would have lashed Martinez out on his backside a long time ago.

Results have been diabolical since August 2014. It's the delusion that offends me the most.

Hear what your saying and agree booing is totally out of order.We've got some nutters.
But on your last comment I wish our team would make it a hostile place for the other team.

True, but as fans we can only control one of those factors.
 
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.”

Sod off, Bobby.

Please don't try and hide behind the crowd for today's ineptitude.

We fork out a lot of money and we will still be doing so long after you and all those players whom "know exactly" what they are doing have moved on.
 

Have we ascertained whether or not Roberto has said what the heading for this thread and on the sites homepage is correct yet, or just a play on words ?

Its a really stupid thing to say if he has, and for all his faults I don't believe Roberto is.
 
There's the key word there though. Where exactly are you supporting? All you do on here is speak negatively about players like Lukaku and managers like Martinez. You're not actually a supporter at all.

in fairness he does try fit in a bit of supporting in between being wrong, putting down players and loving Jelavic
 
the players should boo the fans

Each fan should be assigned a player who follows them throughout the house, slating them at every possible opportunity.

Coming home from work - Oh ffs, why are they bringing him on?

Pouring some coffee - Get on with it!

Watching TV - Do something! Move!

In bed - You're shotie!

I'm sure everyone would cope just fine under constant abuse.
