Leighton Baines

[CynicalBlue]

Please can we have our Leighton Baines back.

Apart from the other week hes been disastrous since the injury, was looking back to his best in pre season as well before the second one

 

[Donald Twain]

That double man corner mess will haunt me forever!

 

[LinekersLegs]

Thought he looked fairly energetic in the first half, faded badly by the end though.

At least both he and Oviedo have two weeks to regain fitness - or has Bry been called up by Costa Rica?

......looks a long way short of fitness to me, who knows if that ankle is still troubling him. It would probably be better if he sits on a beach this summer.

 

[MACCA75]

Seems to have forgotten the fundamentals of how to play football.
Wish we had the Baines and Coleman of 3 or 4 years ago. Not even bothered if we replace them now.

He certainly didn't appreciate the ball by Lukaku early doors which was short and he took a full hit.

Like you said eggs he's struggling out there, has been for a long time with his fitness and the best thing for him would be to have a summer of rest.

Galloway is a better option.

 

[Toffeelover]

To be honest I think given their age both him and Jags should be playing more of a backroom role now and making way for younger players.

I was given stick for speaking the truth about Baines: well past it and not the type of solid defender we need.

No doubt he'll have covered his own tracks again by now though and told any reporter that wants to interview him that 'we need to defend better'. Well try having a go yourself mate instead of huffing and puffing to get back into position.

Oviedo > Galloway > Baines in that order.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ.

Sorry, I'll correct that:

Oviedo > Galloway > Garbutt > Baines in that order.

lol
It's a good job we are an alliance on the manager, you absolute lunatic.

 

[marsh]

Can't cross properly anymore either

 

[Rook]

Its starting to seem like we would have ripped Man Untied off by accepting 15M for him. He was never much of a defender but now he doesn't have the legs or a partner like Peanut to get forward either.
