Ben Foster on Everton fan negativity influencing opposition tactics

[chicoazul]

If Everton players really want the crowd behind them then they simply just have to get right into it from the start for 10 minutes. Not too hard.

You’re all a bunch of negative nellies

And yet we had a pretty poor home record with no fans in Goodison.

I don't think we're the most forgiving if we are on a crap streak seeing the same stuff week in and week out - either due to tactics or lack of effort etc. Some players seem to get it for perceived lack of effort or crapness. Tom Cleverly really sticks out here, perhaps the source of Foster's comments? Goodison DEFINITELY got into his underwhelming little head.

But which fans haven't done this at some point?

Personally I hope the players stand in front of the Gwladys street end and boo the crowd

Made me laugh this

1. I'm not taking any flak from "The Cycling Goalkeeper".

2. The clown even says at the end that we get on their back when they are getting overrun or not pushing forward and attacking.

Do other fans not do this?

 

[Librarian]

At least we’re the best at something

Who's Ben Foster and why do we care. Who's next? Michael Owen?

Oh look Ben Foster was right

NOT

Opportunistic rubbish. He has been coming here with teams and losing for 15 years, Birmingham, West Brom, Watford - two spells. Wins a game 5 - 2 and thinks he can summise Evertonians. No mark using clichés.

The home results were awful during lockdown aswell in front of no fans. Who was he blaming for that, the pigeons?

Foster is just jumping on a bandwagon of pundits that use the term toxic. When you actually break down it is a collective sigh of frustration, anti Benitez banners and some supporters that stayed after a game to complain.

Cant believe you're all focusing on this YouTube no mark. Blokes 43 and won about 2 games at goodison in his career. Maybe you should focus on your own dreadful side destined for relegation pal ?
