I'm someone who turns up at home games and supports the team. Who do you think you are?

what if people dont attend anymore but used to?
Ill health maybe stops them, money. Are they allowed to moan?

Yet another gate keeper of who can and cant moan. Boring as fuck

They’re all millionaires I’m sure they’ll be reet

They won't give a shit. Contracts will make sure they get their millions whether people boo or not.

They can moan about everything except atmosphere as they are contributing nothing themselves.

The coach is the conductor of the orchastra,sets the beat, rhythym and pace.

The orchastra follows the conductor or is out of tune.

Our players are playing to Peps rhythym which is too slow, predictable and so easy to defend against now.

Everton set up to allow Ake and Akanji to have possession knowing they were slow and could'nt pass killer balls.

Ortega had no one else to pass to cos Phil, Bernardo & Kova were not making themselves available to receive the ball deep.

We played to the beat of a funeral drum....AGAIN....AGAIN....AGAIN....
and the players are playing to the instructions of the conductor.

Again the substitutions were at least 15/20 minutes too late.

Doku cant play or concentrate for 60 minutes,so sub him on 50 minutes, NOT 78 !!

I could go on and on but, until we change most elements of our structure,tactics and game mananagement, not much will improve.

End of a magnificent, glorious era !!

They do care, you can clearly see they care as they are trying. They have not downed tools. Just look at players like Gvardiol. There was an occasion in the 1st half where he got sold a dummy and Everton got in behind us. He was disgusted with himself . They do care and they are trying. We are just not good enough at the moment.

Up to the Villa game I thought like you but today and Villa there wasn’t 100% effort there from the players and for me I think there’s problems behind the scenes and those players lack effort for the manager

If they used to go and sing their hearts out but were priced out of it by the club, I think they’re perfectly entitled to moan about the atmosphere.

I hear you, but the kdb I saw at the Euros had good enough legs and can still do a job for us, remember he played 3 months with a hamstring tear at the end of 23/24 he needs to be managed better in terms of game time, didn't he look good against N'Forest?

He's been looking like a passenger in most games over the last couple of seasons.

Those 'moments of brilliance' are fewer and further between. I've said before that imo he's now a ten minute player. One who may come off the bench and just get us over the line every now and then.

This season has been the chance for Phil Foden to step up in the KDB role, but he hasn't. He's not looked anywhere near as capable.

Pep could have tried Jack Grealish in the role, but it seems that he doesn't trust him in the middle.

Cole Palmer was probably the best lad for the job, but hey ho, that's not happening.

That was my perspective, but we are, as sadly seems to be the case every game, worryingly vulnerable to counter attack even against a team as evidently limited as Everton. Bottom line IF Erling scores the penalty and Bernardo strikes the ball properly we win, probably easily. Sadly IF is this season's in word. I didn't really see a lack of effort but I did see a lack of confidence and composure, poor decision making and multiple errors. It's difficult I know but getting on their case, whilst totally understandable, isn't going to help. Just hoping we get our real team back soon, this drop off is remarkable.
Thanks to Wolves for giving me an early evening smile!

We were vulnerable to counter attacks last season and conceded daft goals. The difference this season is we’re not taking our chances . If we had won 4-1 today ( which we could have) the atmosphere on here would be more positive. Injuries and poor summer transfer market have buggered us up. Not having much luck isn’t helping.

They have turned into a bunch of fanny wipes, not one crunching tackle, standing off players instead of getting a foot in. We need a Nigel De Jong in midfield.

Frustrating watching them when we don't have possession. Not even a tactical foul on a breakaway.

The danger is people actually believe we've been unlucky and are simply not taking our chances.
That would be to ignore a plethora of other issues.
