Ryan "dumdum / comic genius" Babel........

[Mostar]

I don't think Ryan was amazing tonight. But he was direct with the ball and his dribbling did cause them problems.

I think Babel is someone who needs to be in our team, as he simply provides a different option to what we have elsewhere on the pitch. He is a player who can make things happen and he is a player who I think would bring his best performances by playing on a regular basis.

I agree with the first part but not with the second. He is potential and I am afraid that is all he'll ever be with us.

To me, last night was his chance to impress and he didn't do that. Same all same. Heartless, gutless mediocre performance. He wasn't the worst on the pitch but yet again he was not good neither.

Shame really. Imo he will be off loaded in Jan. Roy is growing impatient with him and It was clear in his reactions last night every time when Babel would touch or attempt to touch the ball.

pure and utter drivel mate.

No mate what is utter nonsense is your blind and narrow-minded devotion to the "player" that is and it will stay disappointment until he is sold in January

In fairness he knew it was 2-1 when he was going to take N'Gog off. I think he changed his mind as maybe he thought Babel had tired out a little - I got this impression of Babel, looked to be running out of steam.

Babel cramped up, he was supposed to play upfront though, so maybe next time.

Definitely saw an improvement in Babel yesterday, he was working hard an really tried, something that has been lacking before, never easy for a player with his skills (pace, power) to play against a team that defends as deep as Steua did, but he did well I think.

Firstly Babel was shocking last night, his touch,movement and productivity was useless. Secondly why the **** do we constantly play him on the left!!!? I just don't get it, i think everyone can clearly see that Babel cannot play at LM, how many useless performances do we have to see, to finalise this opinion. Same old same old, gets the ball slows things up and then...... cuts inside and either passes it backwards or sideways or loses posession.

Babel drifted onto the right last night and within 10 seconds beat a man, got down the line and crossed a lovely ball in. I am no Babel fan, i think he has been nothing short of medicore in his time at LFC but 100% he has been played out of position time after time. I just want to see him played in a position for a few games that he can excel in, i'd play him at RM. At least he can get down the line and get some crosses in.

Babel's has everything in his locker physically but his problem is his decision making and the fact that he has no footballing brain whatsoever so your relying on pure raw ability which IMO we might just be able to take advantage of down the right side.

Its soul destroying watching him play down the left, i just can't see Roy using him on the right either and IMO Babel will be offloaded in January if he doesn't do something seriously miraculous in the meantime. Short of him working wonders i won't be sorry for Babel if he leaves in january, given he has had numerous chances to impress regardless if in the wrong position, he really hasn't done himself any favours.

So IMO its fair to say that Babel has been played in the wrong position but also hasn't done himself any favours by the mediocrity of his performances.

The guy is a schizo. Only explanation.

Lol maybe but still funny. I criticised him a bit a while back about some tweets that came across as pretty arrogant but I reckon he's an ARGE as my old man would say

Well Ryan, I have lost faith. He is utter ****e and we should have taken the money from Birmingham when we had the chance.

Would have helped the 'Arda Turan' transfer fund.
