In the second round of the Premier League, Everton suffered a humiliating 0-4 defeat away to Tottenham. After the match, when the Everton players were heading to the train station to return, they were surrounded by fans, many of whom verbally abused the players. Maupay, unwilling to take the insults, engaged in a heated exchange with the fans.
Everton lost their first Premier League game 0-3 to Brighton, and then suffered another crushing 0-4 defeat away to Tottenham in the second round, leaving them at the bottom of the table with two consecutive losses. After losing to Tottenham, the Everton players headed to London’s train station to return to Liverpool, but upon arrival, they were met with an aggressive group of fans. The abusive words from these fans cut deep — “Just retire already,” “Go home to your mom, let her comfort you.”
The player who faced the most severe attacks was forward Maupay. In his 32 appearances for Everton, Maupay has only scored one goal. Last season, he was loaned to Brentford, and this season he returned to Everton. Despite not playing in the match against Tottenham, the fans at the scene hurled harsh insults at Maupay, “Get lost, you bloody earn £80k a week? You are bloody rubbish!”
However, Maupay clearly refused to take the abuse lying down, and responded on the spot. He later shared a video of the fans insulting the team on social media, expressing his discontent.
Throughout the incident, only Pickford and Holgate remained relatively calm among the players, even attempting to console the fans. However, Everton manager Dyche was left helpless, “We can only sell our star players to raise funds; we have no money, no way to change our situation.”
The new stadium project has saddled Everton with a heavy debt burden. In the past two years, attempts to sell the club have failed four times. What lies ahead for this historic Premier League team?
