Ryan Babel

Yes, one day...

The day they make an Asian a mod on this forum, is the day Liverpool will win a title. just kidding, seeing whether you would bite.

All I'd like to say is, prove me wrong, modulars.

Anyway, I believe someone was offered a Mod position but politely declined it

And what are the chances of you ever becoming a mod on here?

Mind you, I bet most people thought that about me, myself included.

What white text, you deranged fool with a smelly armpit?

I'm sure plenty of people have declined the position of modular before you got it. The odds on me being mod are probably the same as fredo being straight.

He has the first touch of a rapist and a foot of a Toblerone. Did ok last night though.

I think he's very good technically but he tries too hard sometimes and is rather an 'explosive' talent. He's also improving all the time but he needs a decent run of games to be able to get this consistency in his game right.

[Roboklopp]

Has really gone backwards this season- I said a decent preseason for him was vital & it's sadly proven correct.

Was good yesterday, altho not excellent. Would like to think he can come good, buit would be open to a decent offer in the summer.

[Roboklopp]

Oh, & I think he struggles techincally TBH.

[DannyMan2006]

Agree with PTP that he needs to remember he has a left foot.

When he uses it he offers a totally different threat and leaves full backs standing. The talent is there. Time to show it.

[redwien]

He wasn't excellent but much better than usual. IMO he doesn't have a footballing brain or the right attitude.

If Babel would stop trying to emulate Henry by cutting inside with the ball every time he gets the ball he would be a better player. As it showed last night by going on the outside it gave him an added dimension and made him much less predictable and difficult to defend against

[squaddie]

I said before the game the best we could hope from him would be to beat a man and play a ball in the box. Which he did on a few occasions one which set a rather tasty goal. (Rather than failing miserably on trying to cut inside.)

Babel is fantastic at cutting in, but he needs to have more than that to his game. At present cutting in is his only ploy and hence he gets blocked off more often than not. If he could go on the outside with his left he will leave defenders guessing and thus him cutting in would be more of a threat.

Just needs to add a few more bows to his game and he could be up there with the best. If he doesn't he will not progress and will stagnate. I would liken him to Lennon and Walcott who were in the same position as Babel not so long back.
