Not a rumour, but does anyone think Baines can do a Bale and play in a central attacking role. He seems to be our biggest threat going forward, has a lethal shot on him and always seems to find a way of getting in behind the opposition defence, so why not?

Jelavic
Piennaar Baines Mirallas
Fellaini Gibson
Oviedo Distin Jags Coleman
Howard

Give ossie a rest, he needs it.

The silliest thing I've ever heard first and foremost Baines is a defender an attacking one at that, so what makes he can play center midfield god only knows i'm just glad your not the everton manager.

He could play in the middle on the right or anywhere. because he really is that good but I also think him and nuts are the best left sided partnership in the country, on there day and tbh once they click again I think it will all click. I know it it's gut wrenching when we are getting beat in the manner we have been of late and I'm all for trying new things and playing players in roles they wouldn't uselly play in but a think putting baines in there would be a bit drastic. Stranger things have happened though remember Steve Watson going from RB to cf and banging a few goals in aswell. Just be patient lad baines will start to get behind defenders from LB COYB! {Ed025's Note - to be honest liam, peanuts has looked tired for the last month, and that has made baines less effective, he needs to regain form..and quick..

I really don't see why not mate. It seems the Baines and Pienaar combination has been sussed out of late. As has the Fellaini role. Mixing it up a bit is certainly what is required. We make it too easy for our opponents to prepare for our games. Far too predictable.

P. S. Hi fellow Blues, Ed025. It's been a while. {Ed025's Note - hi wiz..nice to hear from you mate, and your right, we are predictable at times, lets hope he mixes is up a bit tonight..
