Fulham winger Ryan Babel explains why he failed to fulfil his potential at Liverpool
Ryan Babel believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League following his move to Fulham.The former Liverpool winger, 32, failed to reach the dizzy heights expected of him during a four-year spell at Anfield between 2007 and 2011.3

Ryan Babel has been recruited to help Fulham survive

Since leaving the Reds, his somewhat-mixed career has taken him to Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Spain and Turkey.Now, he is a regular in Ronald Koemans resurgent Holland squad having rejuvenated his career at Besiktas.And Babel, who joined the Cottagers on a short-term deal, has offered an explanation for his previous shortcomings in England. Ive done so much in my career but a little part of me feels I still have unfinished business here in the Premier League, he told The Guardian.For me it is a good challenge and I want to take this chance to see how I do now.Ive said in earlier interviews maybe I should have stayed one or two more years in Holland.3

The Dutchman never hit the heights at Liverpool

I wanted to develop well and as they promised me back then before I joined just to be given the guidance I needed to become a better player.“That didnt happen and for a lot of different reasons I didnt fulfil my potential I guess.I had been living with my parents so it was the first time living abroad and by myself.There are lot of things coming at you at the same time different country, different culture.Youre basically by yourself and you have to make sure you deal with it as good as possible. That wasnt always the case [with me].3

Babel is a regular for Holland

All things considered, Babels Liverpool spell was far from terrible – he scored 22 goals in almost 150 appearances after joining from Ajax at the age of 20.However, controversy often appears to follow the Dutchman around.In 2011, he posted an image of referee Howard Webb wearing a Manchester United shirt on Twitter, and in 2015 he shared an angry message criticising his own fans at UAE side Al Ain.There were a lot of things that bothered me, that were written about me, like my mentality was not supposed to be good, he added.I was young and I did a lot of things besides football, whether it was being involved a little with music.Then they took that part way out of proportion, that I was being more busy with music than with football.
