Babel Believes Liverpool Can Still Perform

Ryan Babel has said that despite the absence of Luis Suarez, Liverpool should be able to perform well in the English top tier in the ongoing season.

According to Babel who himself had been a part of the Reds’ first team squad for a fairly long period of time, the young players of Liverpool have progressed well in the last few seasons and now that Suarez is not there, it’s important for them to step up and ensure that the club’s performance doesn’t go down.

Talking to the reporters yesterday, Babel said, “I’ve been really impressed with the growth of some of the Liverpool youngsters. The likes of Daniel and Raheem have gone from strength to strength and they are going to be pivotal for Liverpool this season.”

“You never want to lose phenomenal talents like Luis Suarez, but, I reckon, in Liverpool’s case, the exit of Suarez would not make much of a difference because they have got the personnel to replace him.”

The Reds took on Southampton FC in their first league match of this summer last weekend and secured three points with a win of 2-1. As the score line suggests, it was not a crushing win by any means, but, the positive for Liverpool in that game was that both their key players (Sterling and Sturridge), whom they are banking on so much this season, found the back of the net .

However, Liverpool’s main worry this season is actually not the front line. That looks alright despite Suarez’s sell. It’s the backline which is a concern for them. They were not solid enough in their defence during the 2013-14 League and there were not encouraging signs in that area in the Southampton game either. Brendan Rodgers must know that he can’t dream of winning the league with a fragile defence.

Babel Tweet Sparks Media

A tweet from Ryan Babel has sparked media attention as the Dutch winger wrote on his official twitter account stated that he was on his way to Liverpool, no further details were written and this could mean that Babel could simply be just reuniting with some of his old friends or actually making a return to Liverpool, the club where he used to perform some years ago.

At his 27 years of age, Babel has a lot to offer and considering that the attacking division of Liverpool took a huge dip after selling Luis Suarez to Barcelona it is now up to the Northern Irish coach to decide if he wants to spend some of the injection of cash he received in signing Ryan Babel.

Considering all of the players available in the transfer market it seems highly unlikely that Rodgers would be focusing on Ryan Babel instead of other high profile performers but it still is quite surprising all of the attention and rumors that his tweet has fueled.

Ever since Babel made his departure from Liverpool, the Dutch winger has went on signing for Hoffenheim, Ajax and now currently Kasimpasa of Turkey. His career has not exactly been as prolific after leaving the Premier League club.

It’s unlikely that Babel would be making a return to Liverpool for the fact that when he first joined the English club, he could never really make an impact at Anfield Road as the Dutch arrived from Ajax with a transfer fee in the region of €11 million but he failed on living up to his price tag and expectations. Brendan Rodgers will need to sign a recognized and proven player that can in some way or another fill in the gap left by Luis Suarez.
