Ryan Babel will leave Liverpool unless talks with Rafa BenÃtez brings more opportunity
The Holland international is unhappy with the limited number of matches he has started for Liverpool since his £11.5 million move from Ajax in the summer of 2007. [LNB]''I have tried to talk to the manager but it isn't of any use. I couldn't really do anything with the feedback Benítez gave me,' Babel told the Sun.

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]''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]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]However, he does not think Benítez has a grudge against him. [LNB]''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. We have to trust he is telling the truth. Saying it is different to showing it,'' said Babel. [LNB]''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]
