Baines scoring long range free-kicks and whipping in crosses for Everton, means little for England. He is not an outstanding defender, with Uruguay and especially Italy destroying Baines. No one ever did that against Cole.

Why no mention of Baines? He was awful in defence in both games. Allegedly amazing going forward, but international defences cope well against players of his class, but vitally he's not a great defender. - surely that's his number one duty.
