Even if you believe in the stick, its not a very effective one. The player doesn't know why he is being booed and it probably won't motivate him to try harder. Yesterday, Defoe came off to boos and adebayor went on two boos. I doubt it made either feel good, even if they realised they weren't the target. And how did it make the other players feel. The crowd as the 12th man is one of the reasons for home advantage, it seems strange to throw the advantage away.
I was listening to an economist explaining how getting someone to work though incentives are far less effective than making someone want to do the work. If we want the players to "play for the shirt" we need to give them a reason. The players are more likely to play harder if the crowd is behind them, while if it isn't will they give a toss.
