Ryan Babel

What a superb goal...

and then he hits a free kick out for a throw, that was worse then Geoff Thomas' effort for England a few years back.

and then misses a simple chance and then miss times a header for the goal. He is a nightmare for a supporter. He is as quick as you like, massive with great shots from both feet. However, he hardly ever plays well.

Re: Ryan Babel

I still believe he is a top player, should have started the match.  Voronin was terrible!!!

I believe he could be a top player but whenever Rafa starts him he does nothing.

Re: Ryan Babel

Yeh and then he misses a sitter one on one with the goal keeper.  I think the main problem with Babel is that he is an out n out striker..upfront in a 4-4-2 with Torres he would be immense..Rafa plays him out of position and as a winger he tends to lose the ball more than anything..5-6 90min games on the trot and i think hes potential could pay off..


We are hanging on by a thread now in both the pl and the cl and Voronin has proved he cant cope at the highest level!  I think Babel should start for the next bunch of pl and cl matches and see where that takes us.

Couldn't agree more. Rafa has never given him a proper chance in my view.

I have to disagree. He's been played many times and not performed. On his day unplayable but he has his day once a season.

Re: Ryan Babel

10 mins at the end of a match when the team is struggling is not good for any player determined to get better.  Tevez realised this and left Man U.  I trust Rafa to pick the team back up, but his man management skills have never been great..Alex Ferguson would have made Babel in to a monster..IMO Rafa relies on players that already have the skill instead of improving them..

Babel has had a few starts this season already and fluffed his lines each time. He has never scored after starting I don't think.
