Babel

[Unrighteous]

But showing desire to win is a improvement no?

 

It is a minimum requirement but Babel has failed to show this more often than not. He helped win us the game today.

 

Babel showing anything is an improvement.

[philyhamann]

Babel playing on the right = instant win.

 

Suck it anti-phily for manager fags.

[old skool tom]

Deployment hasn't got anything to do with his ability.

 

He's been gliding through Holland and shite International sides on his pace, strength, and shot alone.

 

He possesses nothing else. He is one of the poorest transfer that Liverpool have ever made.

 

3 more positive qualities than "hard working kuyt" and "good attitude lucas" have got!

 

well played ryan mate,you werent perfect but you done really well.a bit more composure instead of tryin to do something superb every time you get the ball,and youll be a big player for us mate!

 

ps-well played nando too! you looked really hungry and passionate today,when your fit,fresh and in the right "fighting & positive frame of mind" your unstoppable!

[BatChainPuller]

Did well and actually looked bothered - a few more shifts like that and he will be deserving of a run of games. Looks like someone who's had six lace holes up the jacksy.

[Walton Park]

Ability wise he has got loads in the his locker. But he is a spacecat. I think he will always drift in and out during the season. Get rid. I thought he was going to be a great player as well.

Well played Ryan now get your head in order,realise your playing for 1 of the biggest clubs in the world,and get your head down.talent is there,hell of a lot needs worked on,touch for a start,but with a bit of hard work you can make it.

Maybe he's dropped so low in my estimation that I find it almost impossible to praise him, but while he did brilliantly for the goal, I thought he was equally shocking at other times.

 

A few times we were on the break and he chose completely the wrong option and gave the ball away.

 

However, he did do brilliantly foe the goal.

 

At the same time, the man he would be replacing on the right scored a goal, so...

[Hooch]

He's still not good enough. Trust me on this, he'll be churning out a few shitty performances again very soon and the cycle will have gone full circle again.

[Guest TK-421]

Bring him on as first sub if we're in the shit. He doesn't deserve to start on the basis of a good 10 minute sub appearance, as aws says.

 

Is right. Who is this guy? He talks sense.

[The Party Boy]

Well in Philly

[Anubis]

Well done Philly. Go out. Celebrate. Get very drunk. Walk in front of a bus. You deserve it.

[Hazel Motes]

Great thread.

[Guest]

IF he can come off the bench and give us something in the last half hour of games then great but he doesn't deserve to be starting games.

 

However, tonight again showed for me that Benayoun is far from his most effective on the left.

[stringvest]

I thought he looked great when he came on. Fair play.

[kalasoma]

Can we get Altidore instead? I know, he's American, but he can't be any worse. Nah just kidding. I liked Babel today for the short spell he was on. Good attitude, seemed to be arsed about his contribution. Happy to see him get the assist on the last Torres goal.

[RedKnight]

If he played like that for 80% of his performances no one would have any problem with him.

[Anubis]

Exactly.

Babel's an enigma... Played well on Wed night. Did well this evening and put in a great cross.

 

His first touch is mostly pants. And he's a f*cking shocking rapper. And looks like a Pharaoh.

 

Score us some gaols Ryan and we'll try and forget about your shite attitude and woeful subpar performances since August of 2007...

[Paul]

I think that's a good point. It's happened with plenty of other players too, such as Riera.

 

I think players should be judged on their performances for the club over a period of time. In that sense, the likes of Babel, Riera, Dossena etc have proven that they aren't good enough to be regular starters for us.

 

I've fallen into the trap of giving Babel a lot of chances and reprieves in the past but no more. I'd be happy if he never played for the club again because he has no balls.

 

Agreed. I'd sell him at the first opportunity for the mere peanuts he's worth simply to get him off the wage bill. I'm surprised so many people were impressed by his cameo yesterday. I thought he was ordinary at best. Even when things come off for him it always seems like chance to me - he miscontrols the ball again but it falls luckily for him for a change instead of going to an opponent. I even thought the cross was fortuitous because he did not look up even once before he hit it. It's not like he could have used his peripheral vision either as there were about four opponents between him and Torres blocking his view. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong, but after two seasons I can't see it.

[hamstrung]

The main thing for me was he looked like a gave a fuck. That's more than he has for the last 12 months

To say he scored is very generous.

He put the ball in the net.

 

For the 4th time in 7 games this season.
