I feel sorry for Babel

[reds123]

Babel is unlucky. I thought that vs brum he would start following Woy's comments that he needs to show his talents. But his chance never came! he is the best player we have for the counter attacking game and the few minutes he play he either creates a goal or offer a good mvement.

It seems that the majority of supporters want him to play but our managers (rafa and woy) don't know how to use him properly and they just keep him sitting on the bench.

Please roy, open your mind!

I'm not sure why you assume that 'the majority of supporters' know better than well thought of football managers. I've seen very little of Babel that convinces me he would be of great utility should he play. In the Birmingham match I would accept that another attacking change should have been made but I'm not sure that Babel has any stronger case than Pacheco and probably less than Ngog for being the man bought on.

Probably will get game time, but maybe he also has to prove himself in training as well?

I'm not sure it is the majority of supporters anyway. For example, it wasn't long ago when our fellow member "rev_leroy_brown" (I think) was ridiculed (mainly in a friendly way) for being a Babel fan. I know more people have suggested he should be getting some game time recently, but I'd be surprised if it was the majority.

No i can totally understand Roy playing a new player to the Premier League in his wrong position(Jova) and a slow, ineffective, has been rather than a young, very quick, explosive player.

It makes alot of sense.

Totally agree with this. Ngog has been good this season, and if there was anyone on the bench who could get a goal it would be him.

Babel has flattered to deceive in his time with us. Occasionally showing flashes of brilliance. He wont be with us much longer. He could be a star in a Brimingham or a Stoke. But he wont get much past bench warmer with us.

I do however, hope im wrong.

I think if you added a poll asking which player should start out wide, Babel, Jovanovic or Maxi Rodriguez, Babel will win convincingly.

I think a scarecrow would do pretty well in a similar poll when pitted with Maxi/Jova too at the moment.

Maxi would i think. Babel is not a wide player, Rafa tried to convert him. He managed it with Kuyt, but not with Ryan.

Maybe after Maxi gets a few more games, and gives a chance for people to actually notice what he does (re: nothing), Babel will easily win.

babel should have come on v brum but his time will come. uncle roy will select him once his full team is back from injury / suspension . fitness etc.....

So true!

He'll start on Thursday IMO.

[Roboklopp]

Aye, me too. Sometimes he is forced to train instead of tweet. It's like the trials of Hercules his life, it really is.

[Pablo]

He deserves to play more, but only because everyone else is so utterly inept.

[Mostar]

Pretty much sure he will.

Sadly I don't believe even if he impresses against Steaua it will not make any difference for the game against mancs.
