I don't think he is quite ready to replace Baines this season. He hasn't developed the defensive awareness to be relied upon in the PL. I would however be more than happy to put him in in the LW slot, switch Mirallas over to RW and start playing with some genuine width. We did that with Coleman when he came into the team and Garbutt is much more technically able to play that role.

This 100% with us lacking real quality width it wouldnt do us much harm putting him in there a couple of times purely just to give him abit more game time and keep mcgeady away from the pitch even if it is just a temporary solution

He gets slipped a bit too easily. Baines holds off from his man a bit too much, whereas Garbutt gets a bit too tight.

I think at the very least he should be playing ahead of Oviedo at LB. I think he could comfortably play in the Premier League every week.
I had no idea his contract was expiring at the end of the season. We can't let him leave on a free FFS!

He should sign a new five-year conny.
Get Oviedo on the left wing and start working on a Baines/Pienaar type partnership for the next five years.

On and on, over the hill and the craic is good
he should certainly play LB ahead of Hibbo! What the hell was that about?

He'd played two lots of 90 for England U21s and had the Wolfsburg game coming up. Was about keeping him fresh for Wolfsburg, I think.

What is it that makes people think Baines can become the new Philip Lahm? I personally see him being awful in that role. Let's not forget, defensively he isn't the best left back in the league! It's only his attacking that puts hm ahead of the others. He doesn't close down enough, isn't that impressive in the tackle and isn't that tall thus not the best header. Lahm has always been a fantastic defender, albeit not the tallest. Lahm is also a natural leader, whereas Baines is not. Less of the Baines for defensive midfield madness!

What do you mean haha? I'm fed up of us accommodating players, playing Barkley or Naismith on the wing. He's a winger and for me he's better than McGeady and Pienaar at the moment as both of them are low on form.
