im not sure if its entitlement

its more expectancy and why not?

pay big money for that

some people expect better

Its not as though the boos come out if we lose a random game…the boos come at a certain stage of the cycle…that stage is now and has been for a while

I think I'm just old school mate...never heard booing when I was a kid.

And I (personally speaking) hate targeting a player.

Yeh I get that

Id happily boo the whole team but it’s not great when an individual is targeted I guess

I get people booing after a game (even though I don't do it) when we've been awful .. just don't see the point during the game or at individuals.

It the during the game stuff and barracking individuals that I think is entitlement...after endless dross performances I generally get the booing

Our fans love targeting players..they've been at it successfully for decades . They thought they had a new victim with Joelinton, but they finally came unstuck and ended up sucking his plumbs.

Did they learn ? No they just blamed everything on Steve Bruce and pretended they knew there was a player in there somewhere.

There's times where booing is understandable, for example Ghaly chucking his shirt aside when he was subbed off or Ndombele dawdling off after a nonformance against Morecambe

On the other hand when fans look for an excuse to boo players like Sanchez today or Emerson a couple of months ago, that just comes across as being very, very Chelsea

Mate Ghaly threw the shirt but lost a few teeth for that shirt too

never held that shirt throw against him

Even Ghally shouldn't have been booed imo...he always tried his best and simply ****ed up in a moment of disappointment (he was subbed off after being subbed on) ... Ndombele effectively did what Ricky Villa and Chimbonda did in cup finals for us.

Yet that was not used as a reason to boo.

I just don't like it I guess
 
I don't condone the booing of Sanchez, who despite being a ****e footballer has always come across as a decent person and largely consummate professional.

I'd like to think that the booing was more at what he represents rather than at him personally.

What he represents, in the fact that he is still an employee of Tottenham Hotspur seeing minutes in the first team, is a complete lack of ambition, ruthlessness and - most worryingly - symptomatic of a holistic inability to admit that mistakes were made, no matter how expensive those mistakes may have been.

The latter more than the former is why it pains me to predict that Richarlison will still be at the club next season, we will sign just one CB when two are needed, and will probably offer Hojbjerg, Dier and Sessegnon new contracts. Because rewarding mediocrity is far cheaper than admitting mistakes.
