Leighton John Baines

[peteblue]

What annoys me is that everyone who says Cole is better can't say why. They just say it, because it's the default, media-perpetuated opinion: Ashley Cole is infallible and the best LB in the world. But look at him, really. He's ace, no doubt, but his talents are exaggerated, quite a bit, and Baines' are ignored.

Cole is confident and plays with a bit of a swagger, Baines , in my opinion, is a real quality LB but needs to believe in himself more, it'll come.

Baines has better technique, but Cole is a better defender..

Cashley Cole is stupid....just ask Cheryl Cole

Ask Cheryl Cole about Baines and she'll say...he's far better

 

[chrissyjack]

I wouldn't swap the gentleman Baines, for the #1 a$$hole Cole

And to think large sections of our support wanted to sell him when he wasnt playing.

I believe they did.

Exactly.

It was the perfect free kick. Inch perfect into the corner, up and down in a flash, no chance anyone could have saved it.

Well actually, if Crouch was on the post it wouldve smashed his face in.

His midriff, maybe.

Well actually, if Crouch was on the post it wouldve smashed his face in.

Which gives me the idea of putting Fellaini there....with the post most likely to get attacked so that hardly any free kick would go in. I can't believe we never used that tactic. Moyesy?

Our best and most consistent player in the last two years - simply one of the best in the Prem.

When you hear people creaming themselves over Clichy and Evra - it proves most people who watch ffotball really dont have a clue!

He must be in phenomenal shape to play the full 90 week in week out and never pull up with anything in training.

That's a huge concern for me cos if he goes out even for a week, we got only Neville to play LB as a makeshift and we know he won't go forward so that's half of our main attacking source gone!

 

[Kay20]

Wow - Baines' overlapping service today continued to be good...and that free kick? Pure sumptuousness. Gorgeous.

More important than any striking issues for me this is.

As I've said before...

I'd like to give him a wank with my bum cheeks.....

He's good.........but not THAT good :blink::blink::blink:
