Babbel being subbed again

[Huyton_Red]

Cant see another thread on this

 

Thought it was a really bad subsition for the second game in a row to take babbel off. Can anyone explain why they took him off again, just like against chelsea when he was looking really dangerous

 

On a positive note he is starting to look a player now isnt he. I think he has been our best player the last two games.

[Knoxy]

Very hit and miss, always looked capable of doing more than he actually manages to do. Class for the goal, but gave the ball away far too often

[Gerry]

Babel. It's fecking Ryan BABEL.

[Dan]

Thought he was very erratic all game and said so at the time. Great for the goal but no end product apart from that ball for Kuyt.

 

Still I reckon that will come with time.

mentioned in a lot of threads. ridiculous decision, he was our only threat...

the ground booed the decision.

alot of people on here said he didn't do much.

 

having said that, he could have still been our best player...

[Bailo]

Don't think he did much with the ball after he set up the goal, in which he did very well. I think Kaiser said it, that sometimes he gets too close to a defender, allowing them to nick it off him.

 

We also don't know what his stamina levels are like at the moment.

 

TBF, Kewell nearly scored our second soon after he came on, cannoned it off the top of the bar. If that had gone in, some would be lauding the change (some would be criticising Rafa for not bringing him on earlier mind).

[Bailo]

And it's f***ing Babel. It's not hard.

 

Though I'm sure a thread with the exact same title appeared after that Villa game years ago.

Boerboel surely?

It's not like you even have to descend into Will-like tedium e.g Gonzalez

[Tetti]

He was f***ed at Chelsea. so that one doesn't count. Tired players need to come off.

[Guest Doakes]

at least he's starting to become indispensable to the team. you've gotta give some credit to rafa for that.

[plonky]

Didn't have his best game BUT he was the most direct player on the pitch

[Florist Cinema Pond Goal]

I hope it isn't the case but I suspect Inter was in Rafa's thoughts and the substitution was pre-meditated.

Indeed, as the fully fit firing on all cylinders like a new signing harry kewell is unlikely to start on tuesday.

Its like people STILL writing Gerrard Houllier.

[Will]

I was informed that he wwent off cos he was injured

 

But the point is that he practically never gets a full 90 cos he can't hack it

 

Should have brought on Pennant for him rather than HK who is now an utter waste of a shirt

I have long believed that Rafa concentrates too much on the next game rather than the one going on infront of his eyes.

Do you think the FA Cup is as important as the European Cup?

id go with that

[D.Boon]

Ive got a lot of time for Babel and consider it just a matter of time before he hits consistency.

 

Kewell on the other hand sums all that is wrong with the team. A lethargic, toothless waster.

 

He belongs knowhere near Liverpool and yet...........Rafa continues to pick him

 

Puzzling times at Anfield

agree with that. Pennant seems to find Crouch with his crosses quite well.
