lol no...
clearly biased opinion zzz...
as it is Babel has a better goal/assist per minute ratio than kuyt and Kuyt has the worst passing success rate ratio in the whole team.
Ha ha 'clearly biased' says the Babel fanboy.
Yeah, goal/assist per minute ratios are so important. I wonder why he plays so few minutes?
Yeah much prefer Dirk getting down the wing, running out of ideas, turning and then passing backwards. Stop living off Dirks 2008/09 season.
Stop living off Babel's... errr... never season
and even failing to do that properly...
except in 1 in 10 games
Dirk has a goalscoring record for us of one in four. He has an assist record of one in seven. What are you talking about?!
he only runs at 3 players in the 89th minute because your mate has been running the ball towards our own goal for the last 88.
He runs straight into three players whether he starts or gets a cameo. He's a headless chicken.
Well you stil think he should be in the starting 11 then, which he should not be. Not ahead of a young player with potential and who offers something different in Babel or Pacheco. Oh and you call Babel a donkey? Ive seen donkeys with a better touch than Kuyt!
In your opinion. I think he can support Torres well - I liked the way he created the chance for our first goal on Sunday then cooly dispatched our second from the spot. At least Kuyt gets goals and assists. Babel is done here, get over it. And Pacheco should be eased into the team gradually.
if your willing to see kuyt playing ever game, providing the "safe option" of breaking down attacks, but running back to try win it back, and repeating this process, with no attacking threat, thats fine
but ohhhhhhhh why would you want babel, who never tracks back, or closes down or never provides an assist, or cant find a team mate with a pass, its a myth mate, there is a reason we have been shit, the last 18 months or so, and im not saying its all kuyt, but its because we have a lack of flair, we had players like alonso, to provide a bit of impetus, but now its all workman like, imo we need someone like babel to make teams a little bit afraid of us again...
Never said Kuyt should play very game. I'd rotate him more. We definitely have a lack of flair, a lack of pace, a lack of quality, but Babel isn't that player.
Babel's pace > Kuyt/Maxi
Babel's crossing > Kuyt/Maxi
Babel's shots > Kuyt/Maxi
Babel's flair > Kuyt's (Maxi arguably better.)
Not to mention that they both play so narrow.
A winger shouldn't have to help out his fullbacks so don't gimme this "Kuyt and Maxi helps out in defence."
Is that a joke?! Babel better at shooting than Dirk? Ha ha. I must have missed all those goals and imagined all the times he hits Row Z or the corner flag. Give me a Dirk or Maxi cross any day than one good one from Babel every three or four months.
See ya Ryan - best of luck elsewhere.
