I wouldn't disagree, a lot of our fans are far too negative whether it be the decade of slating our strikers when they miss the one chance we create each game, the pillorying of Ayoze Perez for his supposedly poor end product despite no support, or the idiot who sits behind me who actually did a disgusted sigh as Ben Arfa was beating the first man on the way through against Bolton. We've watched a lot of horribly negative football so it is difficult to get up for a game, and it's been so long now that a lot of fans will barely remember how to. If given something to cheer for though we do.
I don't think it's influenced yesterdays game though, we started as tight as we ever are, created one chance, then played near 45 minutes against ten men. I don't think the lack of pressure from the crowd made a shred of difference. I'd be interested to see how the game would have gone had they not made a defensive hash of the first goal.
