Are we a better team without fans?

[TippEverton]

Well if Paul Merson says so.....

 

[Nymzee]

Honestly think we'd have lost to WBA with fans in the stadium.

 

[overkill]

No were just a better team than we have been for a while due to good signings

We were just as slow spinless and gutless in some games at the end of last season than we have been under Silva and towards end of koeman

 

[Neiler]

Could you imagine Goodison at the moment, full to the rafters and rocking.

 

[Nymzee]

I think I even remember Osman speaking after the Fleetword game (maybe) about no fans there the team can settle and regroup then go again.

 

[Terrarian]

A rocking Goodison can lift a player as much as the moaning, horses for courses really. Our lads just need to make a fast start at home and the crowd is there, if they're pedestrian and looking nervous they make the crowd nervous.

At no point ever though is the sport better without fans.

 

[Khalekan]

I hate this stupid idea.

When players serve up utter TRIPE, fans aren't happy. It's not a phenomenon unique to Everton fans, it's universal across all sports. We've had nothing but turd since Martinez 1st season.

It's really not a complicated formula to comprehend.

Some bell piece was on about Pickford the other day saying he'd be better without the fans climbing all over his back, obviously ignoring his dreadful form post covid restart.

Spot on.

I don’t think we are better without fans (see our away record).
I do think that game yesterday is different if palace have their fans though...

 

[arch stanton]

the lack of fans and -ve atmosphere/nerves that sometimes comes from us to the players may have allowed them to get into a bit of form. An in form Everton side with a beast of a crowd is a formidable thing. Hopefully we can all get back into Goodison sometime soon and while the good performances are happening.

So glad there are no fans at Goodison today, gives us a chance, with Davies being named on the team sheet the negative whoppers that would be behind the goals can only moan on social media and not at the match.

 

[twoblue]

Keane and dcl look more confident without the crowd.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Bump. Just showed all along still no backbone when things are slightly against us whether there are fans in the ground or not.

 

[tonka1878]

Certain ones yes.

 

[HTCHERO]

Na just better without the fella from Iceland

Na just better without the fella from Iceland

And the fella that sits behind me, I might deck him before long, last season he was having a go at Tom Davies and said “ get your haircut Davies you useless ++++
