Leighton Baines

[Sozzled]

Obviously I can't claim that but I think it's right. Distin to left back and another centre back coming in seems like a much easier transition to me.



Fair enough, I'd still argue that most of those were because there weren't any other obvious candidates to play there tho. Do you all think Barry is a better left back than Distin?

I'd say Barry was a better LB than Distin

 

[Brownie]

That's it then really isn't it.

 

[mightymoyes]

and what has Garbutt done to merit playing at this important point of the season?

been colchesters best player, obviously nothing major but more than ovideo has done.

 

[bugsy]

think he will play alcaraz and distin for height against stoke. then go 5 at back against mufc with oviedo.

 

[Elong]

That's it then really isn't it.

Game, set and Brownsed.

I reckon he probably is, yeah, and IMO it'd be a good opportunity to move Barkley deeper so we can see Mirallas through the middle.

 

[noharmdone]

Out for at least a month according to today's papers..

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

Thought it was worth maybe pointing out...this was Leighton as Lukaku's header went in. Doesn't mean a lot but it also shouldn't be discounted.

Do you mean like injury isnt so bad or was someone suggesting that he has lost the passion

That he still has the passion Finners. You can't fake a broken toe mate

Certain sections have been implying he's not arsed, which I think is nonsense.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Ok lads.

 

[bluejock]

Distin at left back and Stones in the centre. If he plays Heitinga against Stoke, he's lost it. Imagine the mess their grocks will make of him, the tackle shying bag of monkey spunk.

Oviedo.
You seen what a run in the side did for Coleman, i think the same could be applied here. We'll never know if Oviedo is good enough until he gets a decent run in the side, now is his chance.

Would agree with this. Remember, Baines didn't exactly have the most electric of starts at Everton. Couldn't get a game because Lescott was playing so well.
