Now he aint touching him for ability - but the lad did well today. He does frustrate yer at times with promising moves breaking down/losing possession etc...but he did 'OK' today. As i'm nearly tempted to say, he had the look of a fella who has had a burden lifted from his shoulders.
One thats going to Russia.
So, we'll give the lad a few straight games (If selected that is......) in the side and see if he grabs the chance.
Other than that - they all deserve an ale or two tonight. Even the gaffer.

It seemed to me, and no doubt many others, that Babel was on his way out BUT I'm now wondering if Babel and Rafa have had a sit down and attempted to sort a few things out.
After his recent his reintroduction to the team Babel has certainly shown more "fight" i.e. a willingness to help out his left back and harry the oppo back into our own half. If Babel can continue to "expand" his game I believe he could become maybe the best left sided player we've had since John Barnes.
From all the players you could have picked......Barnes was one of the most intelligent players playing for liverpool and that's a quality that you can't aquire or "expend"...I have no idea what you people are dreaming of..
Babel has been playing for Liverpool for quite some time now and was given more then his fair share of chances....short memory is a bliss.
John Barnes...oh man....

Couldn't avoid viewing even in a day as today the hopeless and helpless player which Babel is ,what a waste of space this lad is ,one can only wander what is going inside this guy's head - why he stayed and Riera was shipped....
Great game to count on for Thursday.(Just keep Lucas on the bench).
He was good today. I dont know which f*cking game you were watching.
same game you were watching just with my eyes open mate.
Babel is a hopeless cause ,lost too many balls ,tried to many times going through players the usual babel ...You just see he has no football brain - total goat .

What he does do though is run at the opposition forcing them to backtrack and cover him with two players. Once they are on the backfoot we have "OPTIONS", now Babel doesnt always choose the best option, but he at least creates some doubt in the opposition that someone may capitalise on.
Ok so he is playing for his world cup place and not necessarily LFC............but who gives a , if it benefits us then so be it.

Where are all the posts exclaiming "we were good but everyone knows sunderland are sh'ite and we would have finished in double figures if we had the right manager"
Funny how some regular posts disappear when our performance doesn't gell with their philosophy.
Return to Liverpool FC - Games
