2017/18 Leighton Baines

[bluesb1970]

When was the last time he went past anyone???

 

[ToffeeDan]

Barry can fill in for cup ties. Oh, hang on.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

When was the last time he went past anyone???

Exactly. And playing in a back 5. Lunacy.

 

[Ebrell22]

Is he playing today?

Is he playing today?

Just incapable of impacting upon a game... When you're playing with three centre halves you need your wing backs to contribute in the final third. I don't think Baines got past the half way line. Really doesn't help in our search for a goal.

 

[maccavennie]

Offered absolutely nothing today at both ends of the pitch.

 

[nsnojosh]

Hate to say it but his time has come - he needs replacing.

 

[Mrk]

The lad looks absolutely knackered.

Disgraceful that we didn't sign a backup left-back in the summer so we could rotate Baines.

 

[Pete Campbell]

Seriously, I know we want to point fingers, but get off Bainesey's thread

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Mistake to loan off Connolly

You can't see how little he's offering the team? It's really crippling our play not having an outlet from either full back.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

His time has come as it does to every player. A great servant but one who should now be eased out of the first 11.

 

[Upper gaz]

Baines hasn't got Pienaar anymore. Never been the same since. Nowadays give him the ball on wing he'll turn and pass backwards. wing backs should be players who can take people on and attack. right back is the same until Seamus is back. Why do we set up 3-5-2 when we don't have the players capable is beyond me

 

[Mozza1987]

Offers absolutely nothing nowadays

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Needs replacing , great servant but his time has come and gone...Where is Garbutt?
