How Everton’s fans plan to protest against the club with 27th-minute gesture vs Arsenal

A large group of Everton supporters set to attend the club’s meeting with Arsenal tonight have put plans in place for a protest against the club.

Blues struggling

The Toffees, of course, are set to return to action in just a couple of hours’ time.

Amid a stretch of form which can only be described as abysmal, Rafael Benitez’s men will welcome Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal to Goodison Park, for a Premier League clash.

To say that Everton could do with turning things around on Monday would be something of an understatement, with the Blues having slipped all the way to the depths of 16th in the English top-flight table.

This comes owing to a run of no wins since late September, amid a campaign which is quickly spiralling out of control.

27 years and counting…

In turn, as alluded to above, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise to hear that, during their side’s latest outing later today, the Everton faithful intend to make their frustrations with the club crystal clear.

This does not come owing solely to the Blues’ struggles of late, though.

As revealed by Sky Sports, in the 27th-minute at Goodison Park, fans of the Toffees will leave their seats, to highlight the 27-year wait for silverware at the club.

It now remains to be seen how many supporters follow through with the gesture, less than 24 hours on from the dismissal of Marcel Brands as Director of Football on Merseyside.
