The Ryan Babel Fan Club

I reckon his main position will turn out to be striker. I'm not sure if he'll get many chances this season, but it wouldn't surprise me if Rafa let him play there on a permanent basis next season - it was quite obvious from the PC when he joined that that is where he sees himself playing eventually but Rafa wants him to do a job on the wings this year.

Agreed.

If he does a good enough job, he may end up staying there. I'm sure Rafa hadnt INTENDED to play SG on the right for that whole season, but it ended up that way.

Kenny Dalglish believes new boy Ryan Babel has the potential to terrify defenders up and down the country.
The club's greatest ever player has liked what he's seen from the Dutchman since his arrival from Ajax in July – especially his corker against Derby last Saturday.

"Babel's goal was a cracker and I think we will really see him push on now," Dalglish told LFC Magazine.

"He'd made a decent start to life in this country but he took his goal superbly and then looked like he really, really wanted the ball.

"He will terrify players in the Premier League now, I hope. He's quick, strong and you can't guess what he's going to do next because he's a bag of tricks."

Babel is currently with the Dutch squad preparing for Euro qualifiers against Bulgaria and Albania.

Ryan Babel has thanked Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez for curing his tendency to get depressed on the pitch.

The 20-year-old Dutch winger, a £11.5m summer buy from Ajax, said: "Rafa knows everything about me, down to the fine details. Not just about my style of play, but my character too.

"He told me he had watched me play in an away game for Ajax, and it had struck him how easily I was influenced by the crowd.

"He saw how I was struggling when the fans turned against me. He could tell from my body language - I had unknowingly let my shoulders drop.

"But he told me that the abuse ought to make me stronger, saying the more the opposing fans swore at me, the more afraid of me they were."

is that because you know he would be explaining the zonal marking system and the relative weakness of the opposition ?

Yes.

He'd also be telling my missus where she is going wrong and how I can get it in from wide area's.
