2017/18 Leighton Baines

[Toffe3m4n]

If anything you can always rely on him to remain cool from the spot during important moments like tonight.

[Poor language removed] me , 4th thread in a row I am reading negative comments. Did we not just win in brilliant fashion. I know things aren't all of a sudden rosey in the garden but have a night off. Harsh gits aswell.

lol

A pen he barely squeezed in doesn't change anything, been shocking for a good 18 months now

Should have had more game time in the past but surely you agree Baines is past it?

Absolutely mate, a quarter of the player he was... However that's beside the point, Garbutt isn't ready IMO.

Apropiate and lovely comment for the night that's in it. Thanks for that.

I remember a time when I wished we could bring Unsworth onto the pitch just for penalties...

Still need some one who can run and Baines is now way to slow.

 

[Pete Campbell]

An absolute hero.

Not really no. It was thrilling and exciting, but we still went two down and needed a missed penalty to beat Watford at home.

We also came back from two down to win 3-2. Can ye not think of other positives about that other thrilling and exciting?

Brilliant corner for DCL's header. Was like a Mark Pembridge or Andy Hinchcliffe special, right under the bar, was only ending up in one place.

Also, like Rooney's the other week, took a lot of composure and bottle to bury that pen. Nice to have some competent penalty takers unlike in previous seasons.

Yes. A lot of desire, passion and commitment.

But we didn’t turn them over 7-0. Cleverly scores that at the end, or the keeper gets a stronger hand on Baines’ pen and it’s a different discussion.

I’m not being negative about it, they deserve a lot of praise today. But I can see why people are still worried.

I'm glad he was back on pens

That's pretty much how it happens when you're on a run of so many defeats.
