KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Riera & Babal told to talk on the pitch.....

Bit harsh on Riera I think, Babel fair enough, but Riera at least has talent and does ok for us.

What do you think?

If Rafa wants him to play like Kuyt then thats good enough for me.

And the reason he never has these argumemnts with Kuyt is because he is a true professional and always gives 100%. He's not a moaner and you know what you're getting from him.

If Kuyt was dropped he'd keep his head down and work even harder until he succeeds.

I think Rafa should say this to all the players. It annoys me when players like kuyt,benayoun, carra, reina etc come out and say dont write us of yet blah blah blah. I'd much rather them keep their heads down and do the talking on the pitch.

Nothing harsh about Riera he's just stating the truth (even if it may not be Babel's true position). That said if you were given the opportunity anywhere on the pitch to play you would bust your ar$e if you really wanted to play!! Babel has no self motivation where as Riera has performed reasonably well when he's played.

EMP - He never has to say this to Kuyt because he works his ar$e off in any situation and was effective last season with scoring and assists!!! He is a true professional and although has less natural ability than many others he certainly proves his worth!

You coudnt have said it better:) Every damn time one is coming out and saying "We aint out of it, i think we can win it" No other big club says or does such.

They both have talent, i think they both lost focus and they both had certain expectations about this season and their roles.

Both have failed to perform, now they sobbing. Great tactic by Rafa, infact i would say out Load, Ryan Babel will not be allowed to leave until the end of the season. That would shake up Ryans arrrrse a bit.

hahahaha:) you again! you are a joker me mate.
