Martinez: Everton players fear Goodison Crowd

[davek]

Same thing happens away, though. Chelsea, Norwich, Bournemouth, prime examples.

One defeat away suggests they respond more to 3/4,000 travelling fans than 35,000 at home.

 

[Khalekan]

Absolutely agree. I was there in '86 too. I'm hoping for a stoke victory tomorrow....

Oh, that would change everything you know.

GOT will be bouncing tomorrow night happen Stoke win and there will be renewed hope for Wednesday

 

[davek]

No matter what Martinez chats you just agree with it.

He's talking sense, his critics are talking bollox.

So yeah.

 

[Smodger]

Blaming the crowd the week before it was the ref excuse after excuse never his fault with his team selection and tactics.

 

[davek]

What makes you believe he will achieve anything but mid table Davek?

It's not a small blip we are talking about, It's 18 months of poor performances with the occasional good game thrown in to give us false hope that we are turning a corner

Because he's got 5th before.

Just needs fine tuning...and support.

 

[Darth Vader]

All this time we've been looking for faults in the side and the manager and it's all the fans fault we can't defend a lead or beat sides above us

Sort it out Blues, Sing non stop every game and we will surely win the league

 

[Darth Vader]

Because he's got 5th before.

Just needs fine tuning...and support.

But if he finishes this season in a similar position to last would it not suggest his first season was an anomalie

3 wins in 11.

 

[Moomin]

Rio Ferdinand is spot on when he says the crowd at Goodison is putting pressure on the younger players.

 

[davek]

City you would expect a loss mate, They rarely get beaten at home so I wouldn't read to much into us not getting a result

Newcastle on the other hand is a game we should be dominating and it will be interesting to see what reaction and attitude the players have, I think it will tell us alot about the state of things between manager and players

Funnily enough, the Newcastle home game last season was a big game. This one not so much.

People are getting way ahead of themselves. There will be no change.

 

[davek]

3 wins in 11.

Is that a counter point?

Draw away from home against the likes of Spurs, Chelsea etc is a poor return is it?

 

[Smodger]

He's talking sense, his critics are talking bollox.

So yeah.

This Same discussion was being discussed last season when people were saying give him more time how much time do you give him?

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

I understand some simply don't want to face Liverscum at Wembley but honestly (and I've only ever seen the semi loss there never a final) I'd rather we both get through so that we can finally get one over on them in a big game. I think the supporters lack of confidence bleeds into the team as opposed to them simply bottling it every time. I want this generation to be the one that turns the tide against them.

Well back in a world where more than one thing is possible, he was right to criticise the referee last week and it's obvious crowd negativity effects the players. Are they the only problems? Of course not, but they both needed bringing up.

I was going to moan about your spelling but I literally can't be bothered.

You just did. But rather you do that than moan at the players. Actually can't stand our fans haha
