Their fans were leaving when they were trailing Palace at home as though they weren’t in a relegation battle. No one left Goodison when we were 2 down to Palace in a much more precarious position. There’s no 3-2 comeback if the players had seen...
The state of that decision. The fans are trying to help in any way they can and you essentially tell them to sod off.
Absolutely tone deaf from De Zerbi IMO. A big coach welcome to pump the players up and get the atmosphere rocking? No ta...
