2019/20 Leighton Baines.

[Archie Knox]

How many 35 year old full backs would make that sort of lung busting 70-80 yard dash from one end to the other to stop a certain goal?

It was absolutely brilliant from Leighton. He'll be fine next year as backup to a hopefully improved Digne. Digne has been muck this season.

I thought Baines was one of our better players today, Dave will never admit it, even when Baines was one of the best full backs in the league Dave thought he was awful.
I know his best years are behind him and in an ideal world we would have a younger fitter back up left back, but, Baines played well yesterday.

If Baines scores a hatrick against Liverpool in a few weeks and stops them winning the league at Goodison, Dave would still find fault in everything else he'd done. His goals would have been easy and anyone could have scored them and Dave would have remembered Baines performing a poor throw in or something, in the 79th minute. When Dave hates someone, there is no going back.

His heat map looked impressive on twitter

You and many thousands of others.

My MOM, rolled back the years with a cultured performance and even improved on his main weakness of failing to stop crosses.

Why has he not been an offered an extension yet?

Leighton Baines scores Everton’s first goal v West Ham United on the 21st September 2013. This Premier League match was played at Upton Park, London and Everton won the match 2-3.

Why has he not been an offered an extension yet?

Because he's 75.

Because he's 75.

How old is our 3rd choice LB...do we even have one ?

Edit; *thinks - its Cuco isnt it, thats it.

Baines was excellent , it shows what a professional he is and what an excellent footballer.
He has been sitting on the sidelines all season but has kept himself so well that he was seamlessly able to step back into the side when needed.

I feel that he will be kept at the club in a coaching capacity when he retires from playing, he seems like somebody who would have a lot to offer.

Of course he will. As sure as Bill Kenwright makes unwatchable films and plays he will.

Your Mum played? Wow! Impressive

Incidentally, I saw Blood Brothers again in Dublin recently with Rebecca Storm... I have seen it before but it is a brilliant show.

To Clarify... Rebecca Storm was performing rather than watching with me.

He's lived off that one production for 30 years.
