I don't like to hear booing against individual players and have never done it (I didn't even boo Ndombele, but only because I didn't realize the issue at the time!)
What upset me was the boos for Davison were louder than they were for Party.
I think it's a bit much to expect a decent performance from someone who hardly gets minutes.

Booing the team is an important way to communicate fan displeasure, I think.
Singling out a particular player, for me, you'd better have a pretty compelling reason.

Booing the team at the end of the game is fine, if the effort has not been good enough.
Booing individual players is bullying and can totally destroy someone.
The treatment Sanchez got was pathetic and everyone was surprised when he made a couple of costly errors..
The lad got booed before he even kicked a ball, so is it really a shock that he performed like he did?

Booing the entire team is fine. Happens in all sports. But piling on one player when his teammates have also been poor is another.
What game were you at? 60,000 booing??
Yeah, well said.
He was booed going on, during and then coming off. In what universe is that helpful ?
I cant judge the crowd, but to me it seems they were venting the sad state of affairs overall. Dav, took one for the team.
He did not select himself.
The fury needs to be directed at those in power.
I was near the South Stand (block 123, Shelf Side), looked all around me and couldn't actually see a single person booing. I could hear it though.
60k fans booing is a ridiculous assertion - that would have to include the Bournemouth fans, who were more than happy for him to be on the pitch - probably cheering him to the rafters! Seriously, it was a few thousand.
Bit unfair on Sanchez as he had a very good spell replacing Romero last season in which the team didn't concede a single goal. He's not been used much since so is probably a bit rusty. Booing a player is not something I agree with as it can ruin his confidence and make things worse. It's different with a manager or the owners of course.
Never mind booing I'd like to give nearly all of them a real good kick up the arse. Literally.
Yes, booing is acceptable. Not when there's 100% effort, not when you're just not as good as the other team, not when the luck isn't with you.
But when these absolute bunch of phonies put the effort in they did today... Yeah, absolutely, it's the only way that will force change.
I'm not going on Thurs, but it has to be toxic. Our players, Levy, the world, have to know how we feel. I'm sorry, but what other way is there? Even if we win, would that excuse anything we've seen recently?
Disgrace.

Maybe it was when his every touch got booed?
I think the Spurs support in 2023 is different for several reasons.
I grew up with a Spurs team that experienced relegation and a steady climb back towards respectable league finishes and cup wins.
The lowest I ever felt was when Spurs scraped an undeserved 1-1 draw, away at Barnsley, in April 98, during a relegation dogfight.
Woolwich were in their pomp under Wenger which just added to the toxicity of the time.
As a Spurs supporter I expect highs and lows.
I just think the trophy drought has killed us.
I understand that top 4 is the new F.A. Cup win, in terms of the revenue, but it doesn't feel the same.
The game is about glory.
Younger Spurs supporters in 2023 are following a different club to the one I grew up with.

Can't argue that the team, not just any individual player, fully deserved pelters today. Absolutely disgraceful performance.
It's a human reaction. It's not clever but mocking your own players like Davinson Sanchez is dumb, cruel, and nasty and I condemn all Spurs fans who did it. The same 'fans' don't treat cheating officials to help their team, no they are like being in a library in the stadium. Waste of space!
Booing a sub I get, and booing after a game or HT…. Booing a players every touch is disgraceful
