Babel seeks selfish streak
Ryan Babel admits he needs to be 'more greedy' if he is to establish himself as a striker at Liverpool.
The Dutch youngster has generally been used in a wide role by Reds boss Rafa Benitez since joining the club from Ajax in the summer of 2007.
He has made occasional appearances up front and is keen to be given the opportunity to make a name for himself in front of goal.
Babel has scored just 13 times in 83 games for Liverpool and accepts he
must start to display a selfish streak in front of goal if he is to fulfil his aim of being a striker.
"To be more dangerous in front of goal," Babel told his official website fobazo.com when asked what he needs to improve upon.
"Right now, there are too many times when I can go for goal myself that I pass the ball to another to try to give an assist.
"At the end, if I watch the game back I think, 'hey, I could shoot or I could go for myself'.
"I still believe I can be a striker, but if you want to be a striker you have to think more about yourself and that's why you are a striker.
"So I think that's a part I have to learn more, to be more greedy. It's a process and I'm confident that it will come."
