2017/18 Leighton Baines

[Eggs]

Need a video of the best of his link up with Pienaar. My favourite Everton partnership in recent years.

...two little maestro's on the same wavelength. The club are showing a Baines goal on Facebook today to mark the anniversary of him signing and it includes a great one/two with Pienaar.

Almost five-a-side stuff. Just 4 simple but perfectly executed touches.

LB3, eh?

Ya' bitin' my shizzle here, @everton...but I'll let it slide, 'cause he's my d-o-double-g.

Could have put blindfolds on both of them and they'd still bamboozle the defence

Needs to be his last season. Great player for us though

 

[Pete Campbell]

Has looked really solid in preseason but I think he needs a target man to aim for in the middle as he too often looks up to cross and after seeing nothing there, changes his mind.

I agree he's looked good, whilst he may not be doing the flashy eye-catching stuff with Pienaar anymore if we had that kind of player Baines could still do it. He's far from finished, he's fit and got a great football brain. He can read and change the pace of games from full back. Still a fantastic player and one of the first names on the teamsheet. I can see him getting involved in quick sharp passing moves on the edge of the box with Sandro and Rooney this season. He's ace and anyone who disagrees is a bad ted.

Last season and should play less and less games as the season goes on.

Lost a yard of pace and his passing is suspect.

Much more like the old Baines, good to see

 

[Bellz]

Thought he was excellent.

Surely he's right to do that, it's the target man that's wrong or the system being played. He really is: Still a marvellous player. an' a Scouse.

Thought he did real well tonight, set up the first goal
