Martinez: Everton players fear Goodison Crowd

[Further Harm]

I totally agree with what you're saying. It helps if you read your post out in James Earl Jones' voice also.

indeed, doesn't mean it helping though does it.
It makes them even less confident and motivated

Do you sit there and boo loudly in a Cinema if the film you've gone to see is a bit rubbish?

that would impolite and immature for an individual to do yet some do it.

In my head I am internally boo'ing and I will make it my mission to spread my review on such said film.

 

[Further Harm]

By the way I'm not advocating booing, It's counter productive and makes us as a club look like tits

Of course this could just be a Jedi mind trick

Instead of coming out with what he has would it not have been better to say you know what we are playing poorly at the moment, I take full responsibility as manager and would ask the fans to get behind us against Newcastle because there support spurs on the team and we will do everything we can to improve our poor form

The groans started around 3 minutes into the game

Dont know what they were moaning about we hadnt touched the ball at the time.

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

I don't think this is true. We set up away to defend more and hit teams on the break, which we can be very good at. When we play at home the onus is more on us to break teams down which we are not so good at. Regarding comments made about fans at away games vs. fans at home games, I have been at away games this season when the atmosphere at times from our fans hasn't been fantastic. To a large extent this purely relates to what is going on in the game. At home games, particularly against the likes of Swansea, there is (rightly) an expectation that we should win. When we struggle the fans get restless. It was exactly the same last season. I was at the Southampton and Stoke aways last year and on both occasions there was a lot of anger within the travelling support, and understandably so because the performances were appalling. We have played much better away this season and despite the disappointment of some of the results there hasn't been the same level of disenchantment. I wasn't at Chelsea or Bournemouth this season, so not sure what the response to those results was.

He did the same last season IIRC. I think he's very respectful of the crowd and what they can do to boost our chances. He's spot on, btw. The players are playing with fear at home. The crowd got to them last season and they're doing the same now. They have a ridiculous attitude. Compare that with the away support they get and the different outcome.

He needs to be a bit more savvy, maybe choice of words, or how his words will be interpreted by the media, either way he needs to clue up quickly before he stokes up proper anger, once that happens he's on a hiding to nothing

Because we had not tried to engage them once. We set the tone in the first few minutes for the whole first half performance, something even the clown managed to admit to.

Glad you were pleased with that first half performance. Thought it was pathetic, but each to his own

I'm not sure if your response is serious

Anytime you cross the line..

remember it never exists you can always draw another one.

The customer is always right ethic needs to die. Anyone who has worked a service job where there are ridiculous expectancies from idiotic bell customers knows about 70% of this world are entitled morons who use that ethic to make sure their ego is secure in their meaningless existence.

You implied we set the tone in the first few minutes, ive just pointed out what happened, at no point did I claim we played well, Ive just corrected your mistake, maybe you missed the game, its ok to admit it mate.
