da dobrowin： There was one position that Everton fans desperately wanted the club to fill in the January transfer window – left-back.
da luck： Leighton Baines is first choice, but at the age of 33, the Englishman is nearing the closing stages of his career.
On top of that, the left-back has struggled with injuries this season, which led to Cuco Martina being handed the role.
The main problem has been the fact that the Dutchman is predominantly right-footed.
The 27-year-old’s performances have attracted criticism from the supporters, with many left exasperated that the club did not bring in a new player to boost the position.
Even though the left-back role is not a natural position for Martina, the 28-year-old has not shied away from his responsibilities.
In fact, Martina has revealed that he has been working on improving the left side of his game with coach Duncan Ferguson.
The fans may not be too impressed by Martina’s performances, but they can appreciate his effort.
