Sibdane Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Baines is the epitome of a model professional (much like Coleman). Proud that he's been here this long. He seems to get the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 10 years we've had the pleasure of Baines at Everton now. Surely he'll go down as one of our best pound for pound signings - £5.5m is an absolute steal and I am so glad that we got in there once we knew Sunderland had agreed a fee and made him ours. aaron, markjazzbassist, Sibdane and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Loved that but I'm not sure anything could top those two free-kicks against West Ham. One of my favourite away days ever - stood behind the goal where we scored all 3 including a late Lukaku winner. Woke up with some bruises the next day!

My eldest son is a pure lefty... it's something I'll be monitoring. Lefties always seem to be able to smash the ball hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 hurts me a little to say it because baines has been one of my favorites for a while now but his level has dropped pretty drastically. if i was koeman/walsh i'd be in for a young LB or 2 in January and fast. is garbutt that bad now?

Bailey Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think he has been solid in every game we have played. Bigger problems than Baines imo StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Another balls up that we didn't get a young LB in. That talk of just simply looking for a left-footed CB that could fill in at LB pissed me off no end. It's not fair that we're going to be asking him to play every week, particularly if ask him to play wing-back with any regularity. The longer the season goes on the worse he'll look, and it's not right to do that to someone like Baines. He doesn't deserve that.

Been saying it for months now. Rooney waited for him to overlap on three occasions on the left and he shit out. He's petrified of us losing possession... Then and only then will you see how exposed he is as a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Gets the ball in space on the wing, instead of moving forward or looking for a forward pass, he stands motionless and inevitably passes it backwards. Not the player he was, and he will need replacing very soon. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger problems than Baines imo exactly. everyone gets older, loses pace, and needs replacing but is anyone watching our other players (or our tactics/lineups) at the moment? ha. fingers crossed it gets sorted soon with an easier run of fixtures on the horizon.

MikeO Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 It's the variation that makes his pens so good; 'keepers can do all the homework they like but they still have no idea where the ball's going. http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2017/11/07/record-breaker-baines markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibdane Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Baines... what a player. Even though his legs have gone a bit, he's still one of the better left backs in the league. plaidharper and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaidharper Posted November 7, 2017 Report Share Posted November 7, 2017 Mentioned it above. He is just getting older. Blaming someone for that is like crying about water being wet. Getting way to much stick this season in my opinion. Not his fault that here is no cover / competition. Not his fault players in front of him provide no help or link up. Instead he helped us get points and set a record in our last game. True blue. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 If its a calf, then given how he was walking, I doubt he will be playing for at least a couple of weeks. Calf injuries are really difficult to shake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Yet we don’t have a single left back to replace him and Garbutt wasn’t given a squad number. Makes loads of sense that doesn’t it. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Apart from pens he doesn’t offer anything anymore. I just hope shamus is still the same player when he comes back. Look at city’s, Spurs fullbacks. Up and down all day. We are slow as fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
