Why should NGog be dropped? He scored again tonight ffs. Nice assist from Pacheco btw.

2 things are for certain. Pacheco should be starting games or atleast be on the bench constantly and Babel is so obviously 1st team material its frustrating the life out of me. Pacheco has skill and confidence on the ball and the ability to beat his man no matter who that is. Same with Babel.
Benitez doesnt play them because he says the dont have the final ball etc. Fuk off. Babel beat his man more times in 10 minutes than Riera did in 80 and ran so far into the box he set up several oppertunities. Pacheco came on, didnt do that much but showed great composure to nod the ball down clamly to NGOG. 2 players that are amazing to watch on the wing and have so much potencial and Benitez doesnt play them to the extent where they'll just say screw you ill go to Barca or w/e who will put me in the 1st team.
Babel simply must play and Pacheco at 19 could easily be Spains next big thing. Look at Rooey and Ronaldo etc. They were all 1st teamers and playing well at 19.

N'Gog has played nine games in a row, started eight of them and last night was his first goal for TWO MONTHS. While dropping him now might seem a bit iffy, isn't it about time he became "touchable" in the writing (in blood) of Frank Nitti?
LAST NINE APPS
Kuyt : 9 apps, 839 mins, 4 goals (0.444 goals/app, 210 mins/goal)
N'Gog : 9 apps, 684 mins, 1 goal (0.111 goals/app, 684 mins/goal)
Babel : 9 apps, 190 mins, 1 goal (0.111 goals/app, 190 mins/goal)
N'Gog has started eight, scored one against a not very convincing side while Babel has played 45 minutes maximum in his last nine appearances and scored against Lyon. I do advocate a little more rotation of the striker as N'Gog is hardly carrying his weight recently, in fact his scored against list this season of Unirea, Stoke, Debrecen, Brum, Wigan, Leeds and Man Utd has very much an "odd one out" - the last being a one-on-one late on. That's not to say Babel would necessarily do much better, but that's not to say N'Gog has been keeping him out entirely on merit either

I dont think N`Gog did bad last night TBH. He had 3 defenders round him most of the match, its not easy playing up there on your own when the oppo are content to sit in.
