Leighton Baines

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Thnakfully, he's not starting tonight and Hodgson says he wants to see Cole and Shaw play, so that's at least one less injury problem to worry about

Here's hoping Barkley, Howard or any of the Irish lads don't get crocked now

Don't forget the Scottish lads of Naismith, McCarthy and McGeady.

I love how there is a bucket of water on standby there.

Staged rage

McGeady is Irish meat

Apologies to Naismith, I forgot he played international football for a second

Typical. You never miss a chance to knock him!

 

[ijjysmith]

Negatives:

1.can't get past his man on his own
2.Poor setpieces
3.Sometimes when desperately needed,puts a poor ball in with a low trajectory

Lol

One thing I will say about Baines this year, his corners haven't been great

Aside from that, I've got no complaints

Those free kicks against West Ham were boss (And as a result if I ever have a son, I'm going to have to name him Leighton due to a deal I made with the football God's)

One day we'll get the owners we deserve lids.

I (expletive) hope so

Same to be honest mate.
I'll never understand why we do out-swingers to be honest.

Left side - Mirallas, Pienaar, Deulofeu. Am I missing anyone?
Right - Baines, Oviedo.

I prefer Deulos corners over Baines or the rest. He has hit the first defender a few times but when he gets them right they drop with pace right into the anything can happen zone.

Thats why I think Oviedo would be a decent corner taker. Could imagine him to whip one in.

Baines has been swinging in some excellent deliveries lately. The one which Distin cocked up near enough on the goal line was literally perfect in every way.

We just make absolutely nothing of his deliveries.

Was that not from a free kick ?

Thought it was a corner? I'm a bit fuzzy on it actually, come to think of it.

Either way, he actually put some balls in dangerous areas the other day, from different types of set-pieces and we weren't making enough of them.
