Aye, much prefer it when a midfielder takes corners for that very reason even if the defender takes decent one - which unfortunately Leighton isn't atm.
I agree a fit Baines is the best we have thats why Oviedo has been playing, just dont let him take corners, especially on the right hand side as he runs out of position to hit the first man with a poor delivery 9 times out of ten!
Leaving no one to cover his position City game at home in the league cup semi final their away goal prime example!
He's been monitored yes mate.
But he offers a bit more than Oviedo at times for certain games and vice-versa, I think.
Titus Bramble
Best centre half to grace the Premier League
Great having a fit Baines back again. The commentators mentioned he was playing too safe but I think he was using his experience and was right to do so. It's been a while since he's played and this was a massive match to come back to. He started off keeping it simple and got better and better as the game went on.
Love the little scamp

I've got nothing against Oviedo what so ever, but Baines going forward is a game changer and still the best English left back around.
Great to see him back getting up and down the flank. If Only we could get Pienaar back! Sadly I'm coming to terms with the fact that ship has sailed

As well as his stand-ins have been doing It was comforting to have Baines back his class and experience shone and he is only going to get fitter.

His passing is fantastic. If we can keep him fit he gives us an extra dimension going forward. Think he's my favourite Everton player of the 2000s.
....yep, extra dimension of passing.
...I think we should put this one to bed. I might be proved wrong but he will never be a top flight central midfield player.

Genuinely Toff, I cannot imagine an instance when they are both fit where I would be advocating Oviedo starting over Baines.
The difference in ability is frightening.
Oviedo has been playing well, absolutely, but his opportunity has only arisen because Baines has struggled to get over this ankle injury.
I wouldn't say there's a huge gap at all mate.
Oviedo is a good player and a more than able deputy.
If they were both at full fitness then yeh Baines would be my choice, but the thing is he isn't. I don't think there's anything wrong with rotating them both for the rest of the campaign to help them both get the gametime needed to keep them match sharp and get over their fitness issues.
