Babel

[RolandG]

4-4-2 is a no brainer.

It's obvious that Torres needs a foil to share the workload.

Babel had a good game. He has suffered at the club because of perception, lack of confidence and opportunity.

Play him as a striker and give him a run of games. He may just be what we need.

Yea, I was actually a lot more encouraged by Ngog's performance, because he's been steadily improving, and showed some sense with his movement.

But of course Babel had a good game, it's just that we've seen him enough to suggest he's not putting it all together consistently, and never will.

I agree - N'Gog was better than Babel.

He played well, I don't know why anyone has an issue with it.

A couple more performances like that and we'll be able to sell him in January

Hopefully n'gog builds on last nights performance as I thought it was his best game. It's encouraging that I've said that several times this season

Agreed. I don't think he'll ever do it consistently enough in England as there aren't enough games that allow him to exploit his strengths. He'd be much better suited for almost any other league except perhaps Italy.

I'm hoping we can still get something like £8m for him.

People must have been watching a different game from the one I was.

If we played him up front week in, wek out 'in his favoured position' we wouldn't finish in the Top 10.

He's got pace, and can strike a ball. Bar that, he's nigh on braindead, and has no clue how to operate as a centre forward.

Fucking sell him.

I am unsure if we are aiming for a top ten finish.
