Baines

Does that include his wigan days TB? Because he wasnt good at defending there neither

According to them he was, he's not actually that bad a defender. He's not perfect and he needs to work on things but that will come with time.

Name me one goal where he's been at fault?

A friendly, get me something better than that HB. Everyone's rusty in Pre-season it's all fitness based.

You asked for a goal, that was his latest.

As for his performance today, i was worried i might be proven wrong right up until the ref blew the whistle to start the match!
25 mins he got his 1st touch and was so poor even Valente had to step in to help him out.
Woeful, Abysmal, Disgrace to the blue shirt

You make your mind up about something and thats it. What you have wrote there is wrong- simple as that.

Entitled to your opinion mick, but anyone watching his performance today and was happy with it, is clearly Baines lovechild

I agree there mate. Baines could've lunged in and done a Pienaar, be out for 2 months.

Were not that lucky!

Yes because it would be lucky if he was out of our team, leaving another 16 year old to replace him.

When did you start to hate him HB? When we signed him? When he was at Wigan? Or did he bully you at school?

Never liked him for Wigan dom, and was horrified we were going in for him. He is a defender who cant defend...Bad Times!

Personally i think hes good, but id prefer to play Lescott at left back. Hes good in situations like these, injury ridden team, he can play left mid of left back, good replacement...

Just going back to previous post, could a 16yr old be any worst than that performance today?

Halewood he wasn't half bad at Wigan tbh I have been waiting patiently for him to take off. I understand the injuries slowing him down last year but his confidence is shot picked up a little late on but I can't trrust him anymore. Lescott has to move back left and Jags to partner Yobo in the middle, today this was obvious beyond belief. The first half of this game was a nightmare except for Arteta's delivery.

Baines was so bad at Wigan I think they voted him player of the season or something.

It's not fair to judge his performance during the first half an hour because he was played out of position. He did ok once he was switched back to LB. Valente was just as bad in the midfield, but he was shocking at LB. Out of these two I know which one played better.

And Baines was better than Neville, that's for sure. So two players HB wanted to rather keep as cover to LB were much worse today.
