Everton v Espanyol

[Tin-Tin]

Baines obviously doesn't want to take them. Blame him for bottling his duties.

I don't think he's bothered either way. I think he's happy and confident enough to take them, as shown by his record, but I also think he's not a player to refuse to give them up - if someone else wants them he's happy enough to let them take it.

weve got a diamond called ross barkleyyyy
who misses a penalty
he plays along side Adrissa Gueye
who gives away a penaltyyyyyyy

This penalty taking thing is getting ridiculous now. Just let baines take them ffs.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

barkley relies so much on confidence, then he goes and misses this pen. I am sure this does wonders for the boy..

 

[Kylito]

These look pretty solid to be fair.

 

[RomanReigns]

If anything, adds to my point. Should still be on pen duty.

well no. your point was baines has not taken a pen since his miss. and you were mistaken.

at least you had a go.

They do, but considering they are behind us in pre-season, they look sharper all over the pitch - mentally and physically.

 

[Ring master]

Think barkley ok, and gueye whos my motm so far i think have done well,bar the pen,which i expected baines or lukaku to take-Gueye wants to win eveythinhg and thats what we want as fans

 

[Joey66]

TBF apart from the pen they scored we still look poor on crosses defence still looks crap, nothing much going forewards as well as not converting a pen yet again!

 

[chippy1722]

Why the hell does Baines not take penalties anymore?

It always confuses me why we have situations like last season where a certain player claims it. Surely we have a set player who takes them regardless of circumstances?

I think it's Koemans choice, There's no way Baines would stop taking them unless he was told to.

 

[wainy]

Its ok. Next week we will sign loads of people and all will be well again.

 

[banno]

Not too bad. Still same bad habits of lack of movement and attackers expecting too much time on the ball. Our defenders need to learn to get tighter but that will come. Impressed with the new lad despite giving the pen away. He is looking to push forward all the time. Just lacking creative midfielders

 

[thebluenosebolt]

I would shout sooo loud at halftime about work ethics....Barks would wish he had 12 years to become my slave!!! I would be eating faces this close to season start.
Wake the heck up

Sounds like I saved at least 50 notes on 2 tickets etc etc

A rare event when I miss any game at home even friendlies.

You have saved moneys my friend...

 

[whiteshadow]

Dunno why we ever bother letting anyone other than Baines take penalties, his record is class.
