Leighton Baines


Recommended Posts

I am a little wary to be honest. I remember watching him a lot for the u21s and England u21s. I really wanted him to be great.

 

But I always felt that he wasn't living up to it. He did well for us for a few matches though I do admit.

 

Just not sure if it was true form or playing his socks of to impress.

 

Would still love him to make it here though.

Just think of Barkley - looked like a bag of shite for Leeds, could barely get a game (not entirely his fault), but has shown he's capable of tearing up the PL.

 

It's no secret I rate Garbutt, I have done since we got him here, but I think he deserves a closer look before we discard him. If the likes of McAleny are still here then someone like Garbutt shouldn't be put on the scrap heap for at least a couple of years yet.

Leighton must be getting worried with the Euros coming at the end of the season, likely his last chance of a big international tournament but if he's not playing for us he's unlikely to go I'd have thought.

I wouldn't take him even if he was playing tbh. Some players just don't fit into sides and I don't think he fits in a Hodgson England team unfortunately.

Mirallas in but Baines' continued absence baffles me.

 

 

doesn't baffle any of us that actually watch the matches. clean sheets a plenty with oviedo in there and RM is not changing that back 5 robles included. i don't blame him. i love baines but it's the right thing to do.

He's the Everton correspondent on the Liverpool Echo so I'm guessing he watches the occasional game ;).

I don't think Hodgson fits any England team. He's clueless.

judging by some of the things he says mike i'm positive the man watches Liverpool and gives Everton news via Match of the Day Highlights. He's always the last man to report a transfer as well.

:lol: this is true, but I still stand by my post. He's very rarely looked good for England IMO, because they've never played the way we do where he is a big part of our attack. So, putting aside my Everton bias I'd go with another option, and I said that a long time ago.

They say he still has a problem with his ankle.

After 4/5 weeks not playing they have decided he needs to see the specialist how ridiculous.

So looks like Galloway Saturday.

 

He is available Saturday

Martinez said in his press conference today about Baines seeing the specialist.

 

If he needs another operation I can see the end of Baines not being too long coming sadly.

 

Really not looking forward to seeing Galloway back in at LB.

damn yes it does seem like it could be the end of baines. sad, what a player on his day. Howard initially drew me to Everton but Baines is what kept me. My favorite non-american player for sure for Everton.

 

Don't want to see Galloway, is Garbutt fit?

Garbutt plays for Fulham, so it doesn't matter.
