Martinez: Everton players fear Goodison Crowd

[sageyefc]

Heads gone

"The scrutiny Tim receives has been very unfair in recent weeks, he's been a big big player for this club and has deserved stronger backing to lift him"

He says 'we don't have that fear away from home' so the implication i suppose is that they do have it at home.

Not impressed with this at all tbh.

I read it more as expectation and style of play. The onus is nearly always on the home team to attack, most regular observers recognise we are a much better side on the break as against a side that is required to take the offensive.

Not wishing to be a pedant, but where does the article say "the players fear the Goodison crowd"?

Spot on Esk.
Some on here looking for something that clearly isnt there , not once was he used the word "crowd".
Ultimately Martinez's stubbornness and points tally will prove his downfall not the reaction of the crowd.

Well I would've done my job better boss but my car burst into flames this morning and I tried to put it out with petrol but it didn't work but I'll try the same tomorrow that'll sort it out definitely, and everytime I come into work Gary from payments calls me a whopper when I don't hold the door open for people and Clint on the desk next to me chews too loud...

Enough excuses Roberto, especially insinuating it's the crowd.

There we go again @Groucho - Unless someone was there today, their opinion is worthless.

It's a big statement.

Hang on a minute. You bring me into a conversation you are having with someone else, and because I respond to you for mentioning booing at the game - something you wouldn't know because you were not there, you run to the mods. I didn't hear any booing today on the TV i was watching. Where did you hear the booing? Simple question.

Christ. He really is going for it

Martinez -

hope them Lonsdale wearing tunnel rats don't come back next week

Not for one second turning on Stones, but if he thinks Goodison is bad he better forget about heading over to the Bernabau, that place is horrible when it goes tits up.

Suppose its all interpretation but I definitely saw it as a reference to the crowd. 'Fear and Doubt' seemed pretty clear i thought.

It was pretty loud at the half time whistle mate, so much so that the commentators commented on it on my stream.

The crowd booed at halftime and full time mate.

Wait... have you just moved from lying about going to the game to lying about going to the pub???

wow.

Back on ignore for you and get back on topic please.

Crowd every right to boo.

@orly @hullefc lads, drop it please or take it to PM, thanks

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

I make a serious point - Martinez says "we need to work on" - not the crowd or anyone else. I do not see anything in the quotes that suggests he is blaming the crowd.

Nothing verbatim but he's one that dances around an issue and speaks between the lines so to me I read it as the crowd are part of the poor home form.

 

[magicjuan]

Howard's ?

He dropped his agent a while back

 

[sageyefc]

Crowds been crap for years such is the way of the prem these days other than fans of promoted teams and them palace biffs.
