I am worried blues, very, very worried. How do you replace Baines?

He's well and truly back to his best and soon we re going to have to replace the guy. He never really gets a mention because he just plays his best almost every single game.

I'm watching the game again now and he is just immense.

I know BlueJohnUns. One word calms my nerves. Walsh, as good a recruiter as you'll get. As sad as it will be to see him go he will be replaced.

He is playing well because in my opinion he and Coleman are now in their best positions as wing backs. Both are much better attackers than defenders.

Callum Connolly from our U23s? Good LB but can play anywhere in defence. On loan at Wigan and even scored two goals for them on his debut at the weekend.

The answer to that BlueJohn is that successive Managers and particularly Koeman have not seen the need to buy in a left back, indicating perhaps we already have them waiting in the wings.

Baines replacement is on loan to WBA, Brendon Galloway.
When he played last season when Baines was injured he never put a foot wrong and all that was missing from his game was his crossing ability.
I believe under a better coaching structure he will flourish and become our established LB in 2 seasons time.
