If Torres doesn't play tomorrow it's just common sense to play Babel upfront as opposed to Kuyt, especially away from home where his pace will be important on the counter attack. If Kuyt plays it will just mean that the Everton defence will push twenty yards further up the field as they'll be absolutely no threat in behind.

If it was another team maybe, but against the bitters will play Torres..

Babel running a race against some dutch hurdlerLINK

Thank's Saint that was quite good. Anyone know if he played for Holland recently? I thought he done well in the last few games he has played. Hopefully he can make an impression today, and a good one at that.

BTW Everyone that is the longest I have even seen Babel run with the ball and not lose it.

did well to create the goal today

Interesting use of the word "create". Babel knocked in a decent pass to Gerrard who lost possession, but it broke kindly to Yossi who was in space and made most of the chance. I don't think he or Gerrard will be credited with an assist, or at least neither should be.

he came on as a sub for Holland in midweek

Babel was ok, would have hoped for more when we had that jailbreak counter attack

I got Gerrard in my FF team and he was credited with the assit.

I was absolutely cursing him down to the ground yesterday when he had the chance to shoot but instead ran into 3 fulham defenders, i really can't figure this lad out.

I think if someone bids enough for him it would be worth selling him in the summer.

Know exactly what you mean, he plays with his head down and hasnt a clue whats going on around him. That ball was in the back of the net if he'd hit it first time....frustrating player but still young and his inexperience shows at times. I wouldnt be chasing him out of the club just yet! Bags of talent...

Have to say...I'm done with Babel at this stage. Yesterday, he should have simply knocked the ball in when the obvious chance came to him and done the good deed...but, I swear, it looked like he'd never seen a football in his life before.

Either way, regardless of what I think, I don't believe he's going to be here after the Summer.

Sadly I have to agree with you Tonyeh, better to get rid and move on. Put the swag into the Davie Villa fund for example.

[ken_job]

In that case - How much do you think we'd get for him - and who are the likely buyers?

[tubby]

Id say around 8-9Mil. 10 at most though I think. But if he puts in some good performances before the end of season who knows maybe a bit more.
