Show of anger to the players

This can’t be glossed over this has to be a catalyst to change this club or we all need to have a strong look at ourselves

Simple - don’t go. Why do people insist on still going to the match if they want to show their feelings?

Players playing in front of a half empty stadium won’t just embarrass them, it will give them something to think about and the higher-ups will be absolutely fuming with them.

I understand the feeling, but it wont help in any way. Confidence is key. Our players are timid because they're already terrified of making mistakes.

They need cheering not jeering - although admittedly it would be a nice surprise if they could deliver something to cheer about .

I'm all out of cheers after witnessing that spine bunch of tossers embarrassing display.

This has made the job easier, he knows how a complete clear out is needed.

Season tickets already paid out, so the club won't be 'rsed in the stlightest

Everyone will be clapping when SIggy goes over to take a corner at the next home game

That's the problem we have at Everton, we have large numbers of fans who are simply happy clappers. There's a difference between being loyal and being stupid. So for example, not cheating on your partner is loyalty, staying with them when they have continually cheated on you is stupidity. To be honest I've been falling out of love with Everton and the game in general for a while and this is probably the last straw. Even the RS have given up mocking us now, it's that bad, I've had RS buy my bevvies because we're that bad. Say what you like about Carragher but he said something that I'd long thought about Everton in derbies, whereas Liverpool players wanted to do us, our players were wanted to exchange pleasantries with the RS players. I think a lot of the people at Everton, the players, the board and a lot of fans have the mentality of slaves. When people came to free the slaves, a lot of slaves were quite happy to stay on the plantation, because they'd become to used to it that's what we're like. No manager can change us, I remember when Gerrard elbowed Barry in the face you had Everton players checking to see if Gerrard was alright. I think the problem is foreign players have been fed endless propaganda about how wonderful Liverpool FC are and how our derby is friendly so they don't really care if they lose.

there have been far too many of these performances against the animals to simply say this has to change.

I never has changed

the players themselves are at fault for this one but they are in there own little bubble to really see why this is so bad.

we need leadership at this club to set standards because what we saw today was abject surrender against kids BY INTERNATIONAL PLAYERS

Always argued that silence is the most effective noise in situations like this. Complete silence. Shouldn't be hard for us to do.
When the teams are read out, nothing.
When z cars is played, shout all you want.
When the game starts, nothing. Make them understand only effort would be rewarded with support...

Or cushions, cushions are good. Traditional too

Probably leave early or turn our back on the match.

If we had a capacity of 22,000 for a Premier League game, of course they’d be arsed. The money from season tickets would be irrelevant in that situation. They’d be concerned about the health of the fan base for merchandise, season ticket sales for next year etc.

It would be a very negative story for the club. Those who have money invested will not be impressed in the slightest.

Let the manager do it.

Becoming toxic will only make matters worse.

It’s like being in a toxic relationship this. If only we show them a bit more support and a bit more patience they’ll come good and start showing some effort and some respect for the fans who subsidise their luxurious lifestyle.
