Look at the stick Kenny and now Davies are getting.

You need to wake up.

Away fans are the minority, its the social media / forum / talk show call in types...which IS the majority!!!

Just read the comments on every Barkley article.

Last 2 years its made its way to Goodison park, its no secret that Goodison is known to turn on its own.

You're definitely in the top 5% of the best Everton fans, mate. Well done.
 
I wouldn't even say his form has been that bad. He's been involved in a lot of the good play we've managed this season, it was Davies that set Lennon on for him to win the penalty against Watford. It was Davies who put Niasse in for the first goal against Bournemouth with a brilliant pass. He also played a part in the second goal in that game.

Considering how poor the other midfielders have been (Gana and Schneids awful in every game, McCarthy a perma crock), I think will miss him more than we think if he's injured for a while.

Absolute myth this. Some hurty comments on social media from people who have never actually been to the game.

Goodison is quiet these days, not a hotbed of abuse. This is due to changing times and the utter crap we’ve put up with for years.
 
I may be wrong but I would expect that players generally and young players in particular are advised to stay away from for a such as this and most probably do so.

They are portrayed on here as absolute heroes and later as absolute villains and most of this criticism is completely uninformed.
Young players have peaks and troughs in their game.

Sniederlin isn't playing now, so the gana fanboys need someone to blame for their man's limitations, they've chosen a 19 year old scouser
 
He's been poor in a poor side. Doesn't mean he is poor.

That said, I don't think he gets picked on particularly; it's just the whole team is getting both barrels and he's caught in the crossfire.

Barkley however... yeah, that was toxic.
 
Find it hard to sympathise with kids earning 30k per week. They're entertainers. If they don't entertain, then they get some stick. They should count themselves lucky they're not entertaining the romans. They paid less and getting the thumb down meant death. Ok, so they get boo'd now and then. Then they go home after 90 mins work and browse the tinterweb for a new sports car. I have a crap day at work and I go home and browse Amazon for a new mouse or something....

I think you forgot to mention the countless hours as a kid practicing, putting the effort in when all your mates are going out having a laugh getting drunk, you are stuck inside because you have a game for everton under 15s tomorow.
If it is that an easy job, why aren't you doing it?

Same reason that Davies isn't a neurosurgeon I imagine? We all have talents in different areas. His point about footballers having to deal with some exposure being reasonable is a fair one.
 
Tom Davies > Gueye

Tom Davies > Schneiderlin

Tom Davies > Klassen

Tom Davies’s ketwig > Your bonce

NEA if he hasn’t been at his best, would still start him over every other CM we have.

Tom Davies is a stupid child who needs to spend another few years in the U23's.

WTAF? Hard work and effort playing a game you love?! I'll say it again, WTAF!!

Please vault me where I said it was easy. I said I find it hard to sympathise with kids earning 30k per week. That's absolutely disgusting amounts of money and it may be the cause of kids not making it properly. Life is full of achievable goals which ultimately leads to the "holy grail". Give a kid his grail at 17 years old and he's got nothing to work for. I wasn't drinking at 15, and if I had the opportunity of "playing a game for EVERTON FC" tomorrow, I wouldn't give a flying fudge what my mates were doing!

I actually do a very hard flipping job and put in countless hours trying to achieve what I have. I get paid a fraction of what a professional football player does and still come under criticism from time to time. It helps me become better at what I do. I would gladly take a mass critique from 40000 fans for 30k per week!
