Leighton Baines laments a ‘kick in the teeth’ for Everton FC
Leighton Baines 300[LNB]LEIGHTON BAINES today vented his frustration after his dream of Everton going unbeaten at home all season was shattered.[LNB]The defender had hoped the Toffees' 14-game unbeaten run at Goodison could become a season-long record, but Newcastle dashed his ambition with their 1-0 victory on Saturday.[LNB]Baines made no excuses for the below par performance which saw Everton leave the pitch to boos, and insisted they need to start convincing as they enter a run of away games.[LNB]He said: 'It's very disappointing to lose at home. Personally I've been thinking a lot about not losing a game at Goodison this year and it's a kick in the teeth. It's a long season though, and hopefully that'll be the only one.[LNB] 'We'd like to come back to Goodison having eased the pressure.'[LNB]The left-back set up Marouane Fellaini for a gilt-edged opportunity to equalise against Chris Hughton's team but the Belgian skewed his chance wide, but Baines admits Everton were just not good enough.[LNB]He said: 'A lot of teams will try to stop us these days.[LNB]'People are going to come to Goodison to stifle us a bit and it's up to us to be better, answer their questions and pose some decent ones of our own but we didn't do either. We were not good enough.
