2017/18 Leighton Baines

[Woolly Blue]

It's not saying much, but he was one of our best players tonight. Lucky with the deflection like, but at least he got a shot away with a bit of pace on it.

If you don't shoot, you've got no chance.

its like his ankles are that gone hes scared to cross, and the one time he had to he spooned it

maybe he cant get the whip round the ball anymore with the lack of range of movement in the ankle joint

 

[Rugby Toffee]

I thought he offered a lot , possibly our best player tonight imo

Or...

There isn't anyone to cross the ball to.

Or..

He's been told to recycle the ball.

Or..

One of the other 500 reasons.

My hero.

The man to bail the billionaire boys club out. Any more of today's play and Goodison will be the Mosh Pit.

A strange post match interview with Rooney. Was Rooney the one who tried to take him to Utd or was Leighton thinking he missed out when he had the chance ? ...

 

[Huyton Layne]

Deffo had a good game or should be melted down for glue, nothing in between.

 

[Albro]

Guys saying he is scared to cross. He has nobody to cross too for crying out loud. Add a proper CF that can offer something in the air and he will lay crosses in. No point doing them if they will just be cleared and give a road-train parking side a chance to get us on the counter. Very calm and collected today. Absolutely oozed class.

Really like when he sort of bypasses the midfield and plays those balls straight into the forwards' feet. Still a really underrated passer for me.

I too like these, Shame he doesn't do it enough anymore

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

Thought he seemed more willing to get further forward than last season. Even took people on a few times which was good to see.

Mirallas on the left didn't help him playing anywhere from the left to centre mid...

Never gives Bainesy the overlaps he needs.

Hopefully Sigurdsson will be disciplined enough if he comes here to hold further wide than he's inclined to and we see a return of the Pienaar / Baines axis of awesome.



In fact just spend the 50m on producing 21 year old clones of them both.
