Does he have a future with us? Well it depends on our ambition. If we hope to be challenging for the title anytime soon then the answer is no because we'll need better players.

He's one of the few potential matchwinners in our squad. It would be madness to move him on at this stage.

He's not really fast, but he's definitely got the physique. He's bigger than Babel and Torres, isn't he?

Perhaps taller but not bigger I'd say.

Babel's legs resembles two firmly build Canadian Redwoods. And he's got a massive arse as well.

Build almost like an Usain Bolt or Ben Johnson.

There's no doubt Babel is stronger than Ngog.

I'd agree, its just that he doesn't choose to use that strength in a consistently useful basis.
 
I dont think he's very good. But he works hard and is so far happy to play a bit part and when he does play he gets goals so fuck it i say keep him. He should be our Macheda.
 
Yah.
Incidentally he has 4 goals in three years with the mancs.
N'gog has 19 in the same period and is almost a 1 in 3 striker for us currently.
 
I don't think anyone would have moaned were he 4th choice striker. The problem was he was 2nd choice striker far too soon (although obviously that's not N'Gog's fault).

Long article

In his early Parisian days, Ngog was not at all strong in the air but his flying finish past Brad Friedel on Monday – his eighth goal in 12 starts this season – suggested something has changed in that respect, with his positioning and touch also clearly developing. "En grand, grand progres" (making great, great progress) is how the France under-21 coach Erick Mombaerts described him after his display for the under-21s against Denmark in October. "Plus puissant, plus mobile, plus buteur," (more powerful, more mobile, a better goalscorer) he added.

That quiet self-belief seems to have persuaded Ngog that opting to forge an international career with Cameroon is not something he will do for now, despite a request he received before the World Cup from his old PSG manager Le Guen, who left Paris to manage the Indomitable Lions. "My father is a Cameroonian and I could play for that country," he says. "But yeah maybe [I'll wait]. I've not spoken to [Laurent Blanc] so I don't really know [about my prospects of playing for France]." Wait, not go: the epithet seems to apply to every aspect of Ngog's footballing life. The events of the past week reinforce the sense that Hodgson, as much as Blanc, has good reason to be glad of it.

Ngog in numbers

78: Appearances for Liverpool since signing from Paris St-Germain in July 2008 for £1.5m, but only 35 of them as starts.

19: Goals for Liverpool and has already equalled last season's total, eight, in this campaign – five in the Europa League, two in the Premier League and one in the Carling Cup.

20: France Under-21 caps. He also scored against England Under-19s in a 2-0 win three years ago.

17: Years old when he broke into the Paris St-Germain first team.
