Liverpool winger Ryan Babel plans winter talks with Rafael Benitez - and is vowing to leave unless he plays more games.[LNB]On the move? Ryan Babel is unhappy being a fringe player at Anfield [LNB]The Holland international is unhappy with the limited number of matches he has started with the Anfield club since his £11.5million move from Ajax in the summer of 2007.[LNB]Babel explained: 'I have tried to talk to the manager but it isn't of any use. I couldn't really do anything with the feedback Benitez gave me.[LNB]'We have agreed to look at my situation in the winter. If there's no improvement then, I have to be honest, I want to be somewhere else.[LNB]'I don't play a lot so I can't be happy and I can't cheer out loud. Sometimes I wonder how long I can sustain it but I will fight for my position - what else can I do?'[LNB]Babel scored an impressive long-range goal for Liverpool in their last Champions League match, the 1-1 draw at Lyon.[LNB]However, on the eve of tonight's must-win match against Debrecen he spoke of his frustration at failing to make more of an impact with the club.[LNB]He continued: 'Isn't it unbelievable that in my first year I got chosen as Talent of the Year? And a season later I hardly play and without getting a proper chance.'[LNB]VIDEO: Babel's astonishing Champions League goal against Lyon[LNB][LNB]Babel, who represented Holland in Beijing last summer, added: 'I don't know if it has anything to do with my little trip to the Olympics. I know the manager wanted me to stay.'[LNB] Hot-shot: Ryan Babel (centre) celebrates with Yossi Benayoin and Dirk Kuyt after his wonder goal against Lyon[LNB]However, he does not think Benitez has a grudge against him. [LNB]Dead end: Benitez[LNB]Babel explained: 'I really don't believe he is trying to get back at me. Every time me or my agent (Willie Haatrecht) have a chat with him he stresses I can't leave and he believes in me. [LNB]'We have to trust he is telling the truth. Saying it is different to showing it.'[LNB]Babel has confidence in his own ability and still believes he can make the right impression in a Liverpool shirt.[LNB]He added: 'I have shown I can do it plenty of times. I know I could be further in my career but if nobody helps you, if they don't make it easier for you, then it is difficult.'[LNB] Rafa Benitez in need of a miracle as Liverpool chase victory in HungaryTHE LIST: Everton v Liverpool special - Sportsmail's Merseyside derby heroesLiverpool 2 Manchester City 2: Tevez told to ponder job as an impact subAlan Fraser: Quirky tale of Liverpool's Champions League win will cause a stirL:IVERPOOL FC
