Could you stop comparing him to Ronaldo!! FFS im getting absolutely sick of it! As much as I hate ladyboy, he showed a lot more skill a lot earlier than Babel did or ever will. Babel is only a year younger than Ronaldo, and the gulf in class is deeper than the darkest depths of the Atlantic ocean. And don't say if he has a string of games he will be that good, because if he was he would show it in the games he gets. We can't give him 5 games in a row just hoping he will come good, because if he plays the first 2-3 absolutely sh*te, then why should he be given another chance? Football is about grabbing your chance when given. At the moment, even with our injuries, we still have players more deserving of spots than Babel. I would rather see Pacheco etc come up from the ressies than Babel, because they bust their asses every week down in the Reserves. I have watched, and I see more in those players than I ever have in Babel. He should not be given games to reach that so called potential, because if you play sh*t you can't expect chances. Rafa took a punt in letting him start the first game, and he was shocking. And as a player who has never shone, he was duly dumped. And so he should have been. And so he should be sold. End of.
Ok what im trying to say is Babel has had 24 PL starts in his whole Liverpool career.Lucas this season has already almost that amount. CR9 in his first season had 14 PL starts with only 4 goals at lets face it a huge club like Utd.The next season Cr9 was given 25 PL starts with only 5 goals. Forgetting age he had way more experience than Babel yet his numbers are mathematically worse. Even in his 3rd season which is the same as Babel now he had 9 goals from 24 starts. Babel is hitting those numbers with less games give or take.Was Cr9 tracking back,running around in training,being a good little boy to the manager.. NO.He was doing mostly the opposite going our 2 clubs,moaning about everything and losing the ball almost every time. He played because its about who can do it during a match now and into the near future. After those average 3 seasons Fergie didnt start Park every game and use Cr9as a sub(like Kuyt and Babel now) because these young players are never going to develop by watching workhorses on the bench.
people have a short memory.Cr9 was laughed at for years by fans for his turnovers and showboating. It was 5 seasons into his career that people start mentioning him as world class.Couple that with meagre goal returns and assists, by Liverpool fans logic should be sold off for 5mil at the same stage of his career. Like Ive said before I dont know if Babel could turn out to be in the same league as CR9 but until he gets the games and opportunities truth is no one knows. Just cant stand to see a player bashed over an 8 min sub appearance and not somehow changing the game when our 11 starters couldnt finish their dinner at the moment. With that being said hes already changed the Lyon game out of nowhere.
We cant play him 5 games in a row??WHy not we just played Lucas for 20 and hes just a squad player.
If the LFC fans want the type of players who win matches or those who give their heart with little talent then thats fine but no team has ever won the PL using that system. You cant say Babel had his real chance over a shocking first game of the season thats ridiculous. Then hes dropped from the squad completely?!?!? As for Pacheco I agree hes also a talent but judging by Babels treatment cant see Pacheco doing much better cos hes bound to have some shockers aswell judging by some of his reserve performances plus the lad never even played a full match for the club.Personally I rate Spearing yet after 1 shocker against sunderland hasnt been heard of since.This style of tough management isnt effective with every player to get the best out of them.
Rafa isnt god we've already lost 3 quality strikers over poor mismanagement why lose our greatest prospects aswell?
