I totally agree johny89 but there is a problem. The type of football we are playing is too slow and not exciting. We gain possession then Howard rolls the ball to Jags who squares it to Stones who gives it to Baines, then back to Stones then to Coleman. The crowd have just witnessed us winning possession and want an immediate break and attack play, but what happens is the other team now close us down pressing high. So the ball goes to Howard (who can't kick for toffee) so he balloons it forwards. Sometimes into touch and other times to Lukaku who is on his own because the midfielders are all so defensively minded they have dropped back to help the defence that was under pressure. By now the crowd is totally bored and fed up so there is no atmosphere. That's my assessment anyway.

Well said, Jonny. No matter how bad things get, the 12th man has to be in it to win it, even if some of the players don't feel the same. In a team in massive need of a confidence boost, booing and jeering, while understandable in many cases this season, is ultimately not going to help get the team out of this mire of horse poop they've been in all season. We should be making Goodison intimidating to visiting teams, not our own players.

Agree Johnny, when Howard Wilkinson was manager of Leeds in the mid-80's he likened a trip to Goodison like going to the dentists; 'you know it's going to hurt but you have to go' was his quote.
Let's back the boys in Blue to the hilt and get the fear factor back at the Old Lady.

I do agree with making Goodison a place for teams to fear visiting, However to cheer the team on no matter how badly they play and let's be honest this season they are playing like they would rather be somewhere else! if you continue cheering on bad proformance after bad performance then the mamnager and the players and the non existing board think all is well even more then they do now!!!!!!! Sad state of affairs . as an everton supporter since 1972, I have never felt so disbodent about watching the games and listening to Rm talk about how happy he was with the rsesponse fronm the players after going 1 down however we didin't get the result, it would make a Amish give him a slap

It's worn far too thin now, this 12th man cheering on a team so they can play it square, slighty forward, then back deep into our own territory, then finally keeper?
What does RM want 'A big Goodison roar' for every 5 passes and 2 mins. possession?
Well this doesn't cut it no more!
However, these three little words wins, points, and you know (unless you've forgotten) RESULTS,
Thats what floats my boat and I'll settle for f**k all else from now on!
