Laughing at a couple "he doesn't say the players fear the Goodison crowd"

Behave.

"It happens at home more than anywhere else. I don’t think we have that sort of doubt and fear [away from home]"

He's attributing poor home form to playing with doubt and fear at home.

If it's not the Goodison crowd they fear, what is it?

Honestly... It's everywhere;

His manager, Roberto Martinez acknowledged after the match that his players are suffering from fear playing at home these days but Barry puts the onus on his teammates to find their form at Goodison where Everton have now lost five times this season.

“Slowly, the results haven’t been what they were and the home form is nowhere near what it should be,” Barry said in the Liverpool Echo. “We are not using Goodison Park to how it can be used.

“I spoke about this a couple of weeks ago, against Man City they were fantastic, we got them up on their feet and behind us but we’re not using that.

“And, slowly, teams are picking up on that and coming here and realising that Everton can be got at in front of their own fans. That’s where we are at the moment and it is down to us to do something about that and get back to something where we are tough to be here but not taking away our attacking play, which is really good.

“We’ve created a lot of chances but we are conceding miles too many goals and conceded another two at home today and it’s not good enough.”

“The players are aware the fans are frustrated but it is down to us to play through that."

The fearful aspect was a consistent phrase in all his post match comments.

Here, you can see him say the below;

"We should be feeling comfortable coming to Goodison, after what happened last week we were looking to coming at home and enjoying our football and we don't find a way to do that, on top of that we become fearful and we expect the worst and therefore you can see the two goals is a really, really negative outcome of a fearful attitude"
