In my opinion baines is the best left back in the PL, why don't England utilise his skill, watching this England game and can see time and time again baines making his run on the left only to be ignored by the ego's of the likes of Barry!

LOL, dont think so, did you not just see how easy Kuyt lost him to cross the ball for the second Dutch goal? {Ed025's Note - baines is without doubt the best left back in the country....just because you are a biased idiot, does not make him less of a player..
And why are you reading these pages you sad little dolite
Iv'e just been saying that, I lost count of the amount of time Baines was in acres of space and Milner, Barry, Downing and Young all went back inside..... 3 times he recieved a pass on the over lap, twice he crossed into the box and the third time he shot/crossed which Sturridge should of scored from.
Baines is one of the most overatted players i have ever seen his positional play is very poor.
Do one kopite, every team in the top six would take baines so dont give us that "hes the most overrated player" crap, by far the best LB in the prem, top 5 in the world prob. COYB
ewefc {Ed001's Note - not necessarily, I am still laughing at a post I just edited on Arsenal, the guy said Gibbs offered more! I couldn't even comment as I was laughing so hard. But he said a similar thing about Baines being over rated, so not everyone seems to see just how good Baines actually is.}
The best left back ive seen on merseyside by a mile no one comes near
Assou-Ekotto anyone?
Kopite saying he's rubbish but didn't scumapool try buy him? Every oe is quick to knock our players... Untill it's our players playing for there team, I work with a man utd fan who rates rooney as the best striker in the world.. But says head crap or everton and thy took a chance on him
J0hn80y {Ed001's Note - scumapool? What are you 5 or have you forgotten it is also the name of the city Everton are based in?}
Don't give a f**k what people say about Bains,he plays for us and im thankfull of that so much,key player for us and glad he is ours.

Well cole hasn't done anything for Chelsea in a couple of season now. Feel he is living on past glories. So why shouldn't Baines be given his chance. If you are picking on form then its obvious he has to play.
Hi I'm a liverpool fan and for me Baines is the ONE OF the best left back's in europe, look at the stats in the last 2 years only Daniel Alvas has more assists and Goals for a full back.
I know it's not exactly defending stats but in the modern day a full back is vital in many ways to a team's attacking play and Baines over the last 3 seasons has been the best in the country and one of the best in europe. As the fat waiter would say. Fact.
Also this season Baines has put 174 crosses into the opposition penalty area, more than any other player including midfielders.
The boy is a class act and those that say otherwise are jealous in my opinion, only 5 players in the prem that are geniune class left backs and that's Baines, Evra, Cole, Enrique and Assou Ekotto.
In my opinion Baines is the best with the other 4 in any order behind him, and it's only a matter of time that a top 4 team snap him up unless Everton can get back to where they were 2 or 3 years ago in the top 5/6 pushing the top 4 which i can't see in all honesty with Man City and Tottenham progressing loads and Liverpool having the American owners to help them, unless of course Everton recieve some financial backing aswell.
Good luck for the rest of the season, now we are out of the cup i would love if Everton won the FA cup, hate all the teams in it!! and Moyes deserves a trophy 10 years in charge with no money and keeping Everton a good side is fantastic, hats off to the man and the fans for sticking with him. Really respect Everton me. Old fashioned club with real fans.
John (Manchester United fan) {Ed025's Note - cheers john..
More to the point why was he not taking corners best dead ball specialist in squad
John, you said you were a Liverpool fan but then said you were a Manchester United fan? Never exactly thought that one through did you?
