forget it, it wont happen.
to get something off my chest, laying the blame at babel's door when the team was collectively rubbish fucking STINKS

Neil, that's pathetic. The team was shit but Babel summed up in one performance why people still say "this will be his year".
He's the only 23 year old I know of who is still talked about as though he's a fucking 17 year old.
*potential* my arse.

the TEAM was rubbish today so why single out individuals, do you want me to list all the things I thought torres, carra etc did wrong today. yeah they've been great in the past so they get a pass while the usual scapegoats take the absue. oh, for someone who has 'no game intelligence' I saw babel take up several excellent position but was missed by someone uttterly utterly idiotic passing decisions midfield.
you want to call him shit, fine.
you don't want him to start v stoke, fine.
but lets not fucking make out babel was the only person who put in a shit performance today, if you want I can name and shame the players and list the things they were doing poorly.
[/quote]I think his point is that Babel ALWAYS does it.
Its hard to argue with really. He is playing for Liverpool and doesnt do enough to warrant the status Liverpool player.
[/quote]
no he doesn't but still I hate scapegoats, its uncalled for and unfair. you go to the ratings thread and babel is getting 3's and 0's well what did kuyt do to deserve a more? or torres? and so on. when babel is finally shipped out the door I swear I will never have a favorite player again it's not worth the hassle.
[/quote]Torres - Laid the ball off for a gerrard strike, played the ball in that ekotou handballed, almost got onto a cross with his head, broke into the area only for kings studs to re-direct the gerrard cross.
Kuyt - played johnson in for the run to the pen, crossed that torres almost headed home.
Babel did nothing. Thats why he's getting poorer ratings. You cant see it, thats fine, i dont expect you to, youre laughably biased.
We were shit collectively, but some of the lads have earned the right to underperform once in a while babel has not. He ALWAYS underperforms. In 3 years you could count his good performances on 1 hand. He isnt going to suddenlly become the answer. Hes as old as messi ffs.
