Garbutt needs to be playing first team football at his age.
Because of the number of players that were out injured it wasn't possible to let them go out on loan, but it is now and that is what I think will happen.
Garbutt and his agent will have spoken to the manager and will know what the future holds for him I am sure the same is true for Browning.
The problem isn't only having Baines in front of him it's Oviedo as well. I wonder if a club bid 12m for Leighton this summer what our response wouls be ?
 
I'm probably in a minority of one in thinking Garbutt is still unproven. Yes he has a good left foot. Positionally he has a good brain. But against Krasnodar at GP he was easily turned on a number of occasions by their RW. Basically he was getting too tight to him and the guy was just quickly nicking it behind him and getting on to it with a free run down the flank.

I would say the vast majority on the forum would concur that Garbutt is unproven.
 

He can take a corner though which is more than you can say for half our squad.


It is just a pity soccer ain't like American Football.

We could fetch Garbutt on every time we had a corner :(

Not that it would do us much good......Lukaku is no Latchord nor Jagielka no Mountfield when the corners come flying in.

Exactly this, but Lukakus header against the kopites to make it 3-2 in last years derby still gives me goosebumps so i hate to criticise his heading ability. Hopefully tomorrow if he scores a header to put us in the lead with just minutes left we can actually hold onto it!
 
Well for starters Garbutt was injured too...
People seem to gloss over that and forget it. He was injured at the back end of preseason and didn't get fully fit until a fair bit after the Hibbo incident
Pre-season? I'm talking about a premier league game in late November!

Garbutt wasn't injured, he was fit but only on the bench.

The left back spot to replace Baines went to a 34 year old right back with far more fitness issues.

If i remember right wasnt it against a physical team, made sense at the time instead of throwing in a kid on his debut who wouldve been targeted all day long.

He played the next game in better enviroment
 
Remember when Baines first came to Everton.
He spent most of the first eighteen months as a sub with Lescott playing left back.
Baines really had to work hard at Everton to become the player he is and while at Wigan
I don't think he looked as if he was ever going to be as good as he is.
My memory is that at one stage there was a chance that we were going to sell him to Sunderland before he really made the left back slot his own.

It may be that at Everton Martinez and Baines are grooming Garbutt for the future and he is working hard to get to a certain level.

West Ham? They're no more or less physical than anyone else. It was the West Ham game on November the 22nd, where Baines was missing through injury.

Everyone was expecting or rather, hoping Garbutt would be the one to deputise, especially as he'd already played games prior to this fixture and showed promise.

But no, Hibbert, our right back, was recalled from the treatment table in his retirement home for that one game.

I agreed with the choice tbh
