Babel

Stick him out right against Leeds

[StevieH]

Liverpool are looking to land Werder Bremen striker Aaron Hunt in a swap deal with Ryan Babel. The former Ajax forward has made it known he is unhappy about the lack of playing timehe has been given at Anfield and Hunt, who is 23 and a half-English Germany international, has been lined up as a pacy, versatile alternative to the softly spoken Dutchman (The People)

[philyhamann]

Babel could come on and score a hat trick today, he'll still get dropped in the next game.

[Herp McDerp]

He won't score a hat trick cos he's shit, one decent finish and a flukey deflection do not a world class player make. I find it amazing that you've got all the time in the world for a heartless waster and yet slag off a player who gives his all every week.

[philyhamann]

Babel gives his all as well, its just that he has attributes that involve more than running around like a spaz. They involve world class crosses, and goals.

[Herp McDerp]

World class eh? Babel is only 'world class' at running into defenders and miscontrolling the ball, he has one foot, no heart and no head.

[zigackly]

Phily you aren't even a decent troll any more, pipe down.

[navbasi]

I wish Babel would get his shit together and concentrate on the game tomorrow rather than fucking about on Twitter (he's posting on there now)...

[Guest simon]

I think he will start against Sunderland.

[AmerScouse]

here's his chance. though i think rafa still plays him on the wing and starts ngog and voronin up front.

 

there is actually a chance he doesn't even start.

[Unrighteous]

What did fucking Babel twitter about the loss today? He off to get more food?

[House of Dirk]

Babel can fuck off.

[Mr T]

Nothing player who can't even do the basics. Worse than Cisse.

[Hooch]

What did he say in his Twitter?

[Johnni]

Never really liked him. He came with 'promise' and that is what annoys me is that fans are still saying he will come good (he's been here for 2 full seasons).

If he had a few games where he showed some magic or a wonder goal then maybe i'll keep the faith but he can't even do the basics, just run, head down and shoot if out of options.

I can't remember a game where he was outstanding, match of match performance, maybe he had but it's a testamant to the lad that alot of people can't recall such a game.

[meijer 09]

How many chances does he want.

[darnells]

all i will say is that if Babel was at Arsenal, we would be going on about how good a player he is. Rafa cannot nurture talent!

I doubt that

Rafa can''t nurture talent?, Torres is now widely accpeted as the best striker in the world, was'nt at Athletico:whistle:.

 

I think is Babel's case (only my opinion) but i reckon his mentality and approach sucks. He is a striker at heart but not played there much of his Liverpool career and it seems he sulks or not accepts that he needs to learn a new position. He has all the skill, pace etc so why has he become such a failure in the wide postions?

You see Kuyt on the other side who is best as a second striker but made the right wing postion his own and starting scoring goals from there last season. He's learnt that postion and plays it a certain way different from a traditional winger as he lacks pace but made it his own and accepted he is'nt going to play his favourite postion all the time.

Myth.

[AmerScouse]

yesterday was my last straw with this lad. i've been patient, i've defended him early in his career here, i've supported him on this site etc.

 

yesterday he got the start in his preferred position. the left of an attacking 3 with very little defensive responsibility.

 

what did we get? absolutely zero. move him on and let's get someone else in.

 

and its not that he's just been shit, because i can live with a player being shit at times at that age, its that he's the exact same player since he arrived.

 

i will defend lucas again and again because he's 10x the player now that he was when he arrived here and looked absolutely awful. babel looks exactly the same to me. very very frustrating but that's what you get when you buy young players. some work out and others don't.

How much do people reckon we'd make back on him?

3 mill tops, a truly dreadful footballer.

[Unrighteous]

3 mill tops, a truly dreadful footballer.

 

Someone will gamble with £5m or £6m for him.

[Ted]

I fucking doubt that.
