FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 0 LEEDS UNITED. Match thread

[dml1954]

Don’t talk shit. The crowd pressure the team into certain decisions, long shots, pushing up at corners when not needed.

If you don’t think the crowd alter anything why is there a home advantage?

Absolute bollocks, as usual. The crowd pressures the team into playing a different way - priceless 😄😄😄😄

You’re more likely to miss a penalty at home because of pressure. If you’re saying fans don’t influence a players performance I can show you plenty of scientific studies that prove otherwise.

It could mean that a player rushes upfield when the best option isn’t to.

“The effect of the crowd may also extend to affecting the players/ athletes behaviour in their particular event. Thirer & Rampey (1979) discovered that during normal crowd behaviour the visiting teams committed more infractions, however during crowd antisocial behaviour the home teams committed more infractions. The authors concluded that “anti-social behaviour from the crowd had a detrimental effect on the home team”.”

Now. Stop talking shit.

The crowd can influence a performance in relation to passion, commitment and energy, to keep a team going when its late in the game and the chips are down but to make out, as you did, that they influence tactics during a game is ridiculous. As is quoting a 41 year old legal case about something totally different like hooliganism. What has tactics or the way the team plays got to do with taking a penalty either - you hit the ball and either score or don’t score.

One evening I was chatting with the late Jimmy Andrews when he was City manager . I asked him why were teams' home performances better at home than away as surely professional sportsmen should be able to play to their best in any environment. He said the crowd and their noise/reactions had a big influence on the home side and also the away side however much the players tried to switch off. Makes perfect sense.

John Barnes reaction to Everton vs Liverpool

Liverpool struggled because at Goodison the crowd will push the team forward allowing Liverpool to exploit the space.

I thought the crowd doesn’t influence the way a team plays?
