Everton fans made their feelings clear towards players as the Toffees boarded a train following their 4-0 humbling by Tottenham on Saturday.
Sean Dyche's side were well beaten in north London thanks to strikes from Yves Bissouma and Cristian Romero as well as a brace by Son Heung-min. It leaves Everton bottom of the Premier League with no points and no goals from their opening two fixtures, sporting a goal difference of -7.
Some fans gathered at Euston Station to make their voices heard as a clutch of Toffees players strode along the platform to catch a train back to Liverpool. Jordan Pickford and Mason Holgate were among those to acknowledge the peeved supporters.
One player that attracted particular ire was former Brentford and Brighton striker Neal Maupay. He has managed just one goal in 32 appearances for the Blues and returned to the Bees on loan last term.
But he is back on Merseyside now and was an unused substitute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As he was met by angry jibes from Everton fans, he appeared to bite back from the platform.
That triggered a torrent of abuse, with one fan heard shouting in a clip shared on social media: "F*** off, you f***ing rat. F***ing 80 grand a week? You f***ing w****r."
After the clip had gone viral, Maupay posted on X: "Imagine another job where it’s normalised to get abuse like this. Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best."
Everton started the Premier League season in the worst-possible fashion, losing 3-0 at home to Brighton. Another defeat at Spurs has already turned the atmosphere toxic within the fanbase amid fears another relegation battle could be on the cards.
The Toffees now have back-to-back home fixtures before the international break with Dyche desperate for results. They take on League Two Doncaster in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday before taking on Bournemouth in the top flight.
Everton will move into their new stadium next season and have been subject of takeover interest with two separate deals collapsing over the summer. Dyche has admitted Everton may sell players before Friday's transfer deadline, even if they cannot be replaced.
"Until I'm told different, there isn't any finance to go and change things. This is what we are," he said. "There's so many stories, so much noise every day and it's not very often about the football.
"Is there a reality it's tough to come down here [to Spurs] anyway? Yes. Is there a reality it's even tougher when you've got a thin squad and you haven't invested like these have? Yes.
"Does that mean they win? No. I've shown that many times before, the players I've worked with... But you have to make games like today work in your favour and we didn't have enough to do that today.
"We finished strongly last season. We sell a player [Onana] who's growing and maturing and become a very important player. And then we bring in other players who we've got to start the process with again and make them grow and mature and become important players. It's a cycle that keeps going and going and going.
"That's just the reality of the club and I always try to work on realities. There's plenty of myths about it - the latest one being, it's the last season at [Goodison Park] so we're going to be in Europe. And I went, 'how's that then? So what happened to the last three seasons? Do you think they weren't trying to be in Europe?'
"There has to be some reality to the storyline and I've tried to bring that."
