Anybody who needed proof of his shockingly shitty attidude, need look no further than Saturday Man City.
Falls down in a heap with no one around him when we are defending.. Gerrard tells him to get up and at least try and run it off, He just stands still. Gerrard's reaction in the whole incident said a lot about Babel.

Babel got crunched by a two footed studs up tackle from De Jong. He was injured and couldn't walk so I'm not sure what Ade is talking about. He tried to walk it off but couldn't so then went off injured.
Babel has never been treated properly by Rafa. It hasn't mattered whether he has played well in games because he knew Rafa was always going to drop him for the next game. He'll be a useful player for whichever team he moves to next but his Liverpool career is finished so it is best he does move sooner rather than later

That's absolute bullshit COTR. Babel has had so many chances to prove himself, he comes on and doesn't look like he wants to be there half the time, then bangs on in the press about how good he is and makes sure pictures are released of him in his Bentley. He thinks he's something when he isn't, you don't criticise your manager and/or team mates in the press, certainly not at Liverpool.

As he said himself he has never been picked three times in a row by Rafa. He never got a chance to become confident and settled in the side. Of course he is mostly to blame for this because of his attitude but Rafa has also treated him like shit. He is just unlucky that Kuyt is Rafa's lovechild because I think he would have made a much better right winger than left winger as shown the few times Rafa has played him there.

I've never been a Babel fan - he's way too one-dimensional to be a quality EPL winger. Should've been moved upfront in all honesty.
The press reaction to this is rather bemusing - Babel's failiure/lack of progress seems to be down to Benitez, whereas Nani's similar predicament at Man Utd is solely down to the player and nothing to do with Bacon Face.

So its cause of Kuyt, hipshot sucks?

However I sad to inform you that Dirk Kuyt is the worst player in europe on current form. It is painful to watch.

I guess they put it down to Fergie having something of a better track record with bringing through talented kids, than Rafa does.

Oh Dear!
How about Babel's lack of any talent? When did he actually shown any COTR? Not with the c**ts, not with you and not in Oranje! He is just hype, always was. New Kluivert he was supposed to be, never knew where that hype of him was based on. You clearly do though, so please COTR enlighten me.
And to call KUYT the worst player in Europe...God, how do I reach these kids!!
Babel could always do something what he really likes btw!

when Fergle signs a promising youngster from abroad they invariably become a world star.
See Cristiano Ronaldo for example.
Then of course there's erm.....
there's
erm..
Erik Nevland Jesper Blomqvist David Bellion erm... Dong Fangzhuo
depends on how you define success stories. The longer a manager has been in a job the more success stories he's likely to have. Neither Fergle or Benitez come close to Wangers record though.
The anti-Rafa brigade seem to mix their messages in this regard, one minute he can't spot a talent, the next minute he's ruining the talent that he can't spot. I don't thing he is particularly awesome at his signings but he's no worse than anyone else.
