Everton supporters should try to get behind the team rather than booing them during games, says James Garner.
The Blues are in the process of appealing their ten-point deduction by the Premier League.
As a result, they are still battling relegation and are only out of the drop zone on goal difference at present.
Asked about boos after their 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at home on Monday, Garner replied: I can understand the fans' frustrations.
But there is so long to go [in the season], and we need the fans to be supporting us and not booing us. That is important going forward."
We knew it wasn't going to be an easy game, but I feel like it is one that has definitely got away from us," he added.
"It was a very frustrating night.
They are a good side and I'm not sure whether we were off the pace, but we did create a few chances and didn't manage to put them away.
The last 20 minutes was a lot better and something that we need to build on and look to be doing for the whole 90 minutes."
