Adebayor has come out and in an interview (rightly or wrongly) said this about the fans...

“Instead of booing people, which will make it even worse, I think it is sometimes better to support them and give them what they need to perform on the pitch," he said. “And right now, to tell you the truth, I think a lot of players when they put on the shirt and go out on to the pitch, are finding it hard in the head."
“It’s kind of hard when you know the first bad ball you make the fans are going to boo you," he said. “When you are playing in front of your own crowd you want them to support you. But now it is like going through a sad moment and your family not welcoming you home. That’s the worst thing ever because you have nowhere to go. At the moment I don’t know whether we should play at home or whether we should play away. Obviously I was on the bench against Stoke and, though I could not see everything as clear as night, I could see that nobody wanted the ball. It’s hard for the players. It’s not their fault and it’s not the fans’ fault either because the fans want to see a result, the fans want to see a response and things are not going our way at the moment. We just have to fight as a team and as a club to find a solution. The quicker the better."
He makes a fair few good points, but as a fan-base who has to pay a LOT of money they dont have, to support a team of what appears to be mercenaries. Dont they have the right to boo? Dont interviews like this just create an 'us vs them' mentality between the players and fans?
Thoughts?
Uh-oh Ade

If we can't win a cup or get to a final while being piiss poor in the league then we've seriously failed.

Not really Thudd. I think we've done about as well as we can with these players.

Depends what you mean though. Has Poch failed? I wouldn't say so, and it's too early to decide anyway. To anything else you're referring I would say yes.

If you play crap, you are going to get booed because it is the fans hard earned money being wasted to watchlike Adebayor mis control a ball. Not all of us are like Arry who will just wrap his arm around you to cheer you back up.

Not all supporters, just those who do not understand the meaning of the word support.

We did better last season with an even weaker and more injury ravaged bunch!

There's only 1 point difference between the two seasons so far when comparing the same league fixtures.
Ultimately, we're not going to know if it's better or not until the end of the season.
