Because, especially in this social media age, as soon as a stat comes out such as...

...Norwich haven't won against Fulham since 1589 or whatever, first the media jump on it, then the fans start talking about it, and it snowballs from there.

It's therefore unreasonable to expect the players not to pick up on it too. And, like I said, it will have a small subconscious effect on most people. They're humans, not robots.
