Manchester United showdown can’t come soon enough for Everton FC’s Leighton Baines
TODAY'S mouthwatering lunchtime showdown at Goodison can't come soon enough for Leighton Baines.[LNB]The Everton left-back admits he's been counting down the days until the clash with Manchester United from the moment he walked off the Villa Park turf 13 days ago.[LNB]That harsh 1-0 defeat condemned the Blues to their worst start in the league for 11 years and the international break meant Baines and his team-mates had plenty of time to rue their misfortune.[LNB]Since the Everton squad was reunited on Thursday, the 25-year-old defender has sensed a burning desire to get their campaign up and running.[LNB] 'It was a frustrating day at Villa and the break wasn't what we wanted,' Baines said. 'After a game like that you want the next match to come along as soon as possible.[LNB]'I can't wait to get back out there and hopefully now we can get on a good run and put some points on the board.[LNB]'It's been good to welcome all the lads back and everyone is upbeat. Performance wise everything has been fine but our results haven't reflected that.[LNB]'It's not like we're shipping loads of goals or have been getting dominated by teams. We've been the dominant team in all the games we've played.[LNB]'Nobody is sitting around worrying and thinking 'how are we going to win a game?' We've just been questioning why we haven't so far because we're playing well enough and doing the right things.[LNB]'There's no need for any panic and I'm sure it will come together sooner rather than later.'
