2017/18 Leighton Baines

[hktoffee]

He played adequately for a game in a season that's been marked by him stinking the place out and removing himself from tough matches.

How can we be on the up if we have him still at LB?

I agree we need to buy a new lb but for now he should always start. We don’t have anyone who is as good as him/good enough...unless you want to play Martina there.

 

[Abraders]

Take the penalty lad

 

[chrissyjack]

Assist on his first game back . Go 'ed Leighton

We'll see how good he is in the derby.

Another no show against his boyhood team no doubt.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Get shut.

GET SOME x

Baines or Martina, I know which one I prefer.

Not saying he is the long term answer but for now there isn’t anyone else.

Martina? Garbutt? Galloway? No way.

 

[TheGeeseofGoodisonRoad]

a new starting lb is still vital for next season but he was excellent today, wonderful assist and great passing/crossing throughout

Coco would've had an easy game against knockaert like

That's what transfer windows are for: replace ageing on the wane players with younger talented ones.

Yes but fact is we got no one in. Blame it on Walsh, Koeman or BFS. And Baines is the best option at this moment.

Baines rather than Martina. Champions League here we come.

Are you suggesting you want Martina plays instead of Baines at lb Dave? If so I cannot agree with you on this.

I'd put a corner flag in before either of them.

This ridiculous sentimentality over a player whose ultimately been a no mark is the sort of attitude that keeps us down.

Not good enough, get shut.

It was reassuring to see Baines and Coleman in there. They give us some shape and experience.
Baines should have taken the pen because he would have scored.
