Baines grabbed unwanted headlines over the past round of Premier League games for a crucial penalty miss againstManchester United—his first from 15 Premier League spot-kicks. Aside from that, the left-back has arguably been his side's most consistent player this season.
Crucially for the Toffees' attacking prospects, Baines seems to have rediscovered his creative prowess, something he temporarily misplaced after almost a year without an assist between April 2013 and March 2014. Since March, he's provided nine assists, form reminiscent of his 2010-11 season when he recorded the third-most assists (11) in the Premier League.
In fact, Everton have almost forgotten how to score without Baines this season. The left-back is currently on a run of scoring or assisting seven of his side's 11 most recent goals—eight, if you include his pass to Steven Naismith against Wolfsburg, though the subsequent own goal prevented another Baines assist.
