Young players v our fans

[chicoazul]

I was just thinking about this. To make the breakthrough in the Premier League and sustain it as a young Everton player is tough.

Then when you think of Lukaku, Stones and Barkley they were subject to some intense scrutiny from our own, subject to some abuse and their moving on seen as a positive thing as though we can do better.

Then the likes of Calvert-Lewin who was roundly written off as substandard after merely 10 appearances and playing out of position.

Would not “getting behind” these lads produce a more favourable environment for their development and positive impact on our results?

While young players know they will be given a change at Everton and this attracts them do you think that they may look at the behaviour of a chunk of our fanbase and it become counterproductive to us striving success?

Sensible answers only plz.

The idea of supporting your team and getting behind your players, regardless of how they're playing seems to have died a death mate.

As far as social media goes, it's not just young players either, some people on here who shall remain nameless, have, over the years, seen fit to find fault in players for the sheer hell of it, probably to make up for the utter sadness that pervades their lives.

It's sad to see, but what can you do ?

A lot of bitters in the stands it seems. If you are young and talented you are resented.
The brighter the talent the higher the boo level. No wonder our brightest talents see their futures elsewhere

Thank you for your feedback friends.

It's a big concern and the only real solution is to shut down the park end

Nuke the Park End.

Nuke the Park End.

The Lower Gwladys was mostly behind the Lukaku and Barkley abuse.

Did the north eastern black and white bells hound talented young players out of their own club?

We'd retake the Gwladys if you did that.

Young lads with silly haircuts and North Face jackets would be removed from their natural environment and would end up wandering aimlessly round Goodison on matchdays looking lost or stoned, quite possibly both.

I'm not convinced you've fully thought this one through.

They mainly thought cos they had a bit of cash to splash that they were Der Best Team In Der Wurld, and turned on the new signings the moment they didn't get it together. Very similar themes here.

That Lukaku thread yesterday tells you everything you need to know. People waiting for the first sniff of a poor performance and they dived in, and he's not even here anymore.

Imagine how that hatred feels when you're actually playing in front of them as a home player, fans frothing out the mouth like something out of 28 days later trying to claw at you for their pound of flesh.

Sickening.

@Walken and @orly are the main culprits.
Instead of supporting anyone wearing Royal Blue, they just tried to hound players out of the club.
