Mason looks to have got into them at half time, keep this up and we’ve got a chance of getting something
 
Crowd have started singing "we want Levy out".

Didn't take long.

Perhaps this could be why the fans have been placed in the higher tiers. Harder for the LevyOut banners to be seen by TV cameras.
 
They’re making mincemeat of Højbjerg in midfield now, they know he doesn’t possess Fernandinho’s cloak of invisibility and he’s on a yellow and are just running at him.

Even at St James Park?

im not part of the “lunatic fringe” as you call it, but it does make you wonder. Why not have them closer to the players to cheer them on after so long with out fans watching them in such close proximity? Surely this’d give us an advantage?
 
Sonny is having a rough game too. Too many individual mistakes for us to get away with the systemic failings in this team.
 
You could take off half the team and we're not taking off anyone.
Hojbjerg, Winks and Son should be removed, for me.
 
We have zero imagination in this team when the going gets tough...same balls, same runs...zzzzz...Levy out <whistle>

They have the fans seated in the exact same way at St James Park right now as well as Stamford Pit last night, plus most US sports configured their stadiums the same way when crowds were allowed back

Long story short it's because the lower tier isn't spaced out well enough for social distancing

The reason question is whether the lower tier at Goodison can be spaced out that way, which is a damning indictment of all stadiums designed after 1992, or the lack of atmosphere there means no bacteria can travel
