Well, this thread is getting interesting. Ryan Babel has bags of potential, and I will always stand by that. When he first came he played really well, not at his best, and the reason I say that is, we know he can do a lot better. As stated earlier, everyone has potential inside themselves, we just have to find the key to unlock and release it.
The key to Babels potential is in his mind, his confidence levels. When he plays a game and then gets rested for the next, he really takes it to heart. He seems to go into his shell and almost feels sorry for himself. It's like a mental block, he sees it as failure, instead of seeing it for what it really is. Don't worry, I'm not about to go into Glenn Hoddle mode and suggest we get Eileen Drewery in!
I have a lot of belief in Ryan Babel, just which he had the same belief in himself. He needs to find that belief inside and release it, and if he does, the rest of the Prem had better f**king watch out!
