Hartson’s anti-analysis

563
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

You’ve got to love John Hartson, a subscriber to the ‘All we need is three new players’ belief structure.  This is a common sort of anti-analysis which crops up regularly in place of any actual thought.

There are three outfield areas of a team, defence, midfield and attack, and if you can only improve each area, you’ll have a better team.  Go figure.  Hartson told us we need “a central defender; a creative midfield player and a striker”.  It’s as though the reality hasn’t occurred that any team in the world wouldn’t improve with the addition of a better player in each area of the field.

Yes, we need a central defender, but we need a right back too.  We need a striker, but, I could argue two strikers would be handy.  I’ve no idea how Brendan Rodgers is planning to play tactically so we might need a midfielder.  Or two.

Pretty much every team in Europe will be having the same conversation right now.  John could usefully reflect that it’s not actual headcount we need, we have the numbers, it’s players able to improve the team we need.  That’s the magic ingredient everyone in the game hopes for.

Lincoln Red Imps captain, Roy Chipolina, is well within his rights to talk up their chances of knocking Celtic out of the Champions League.  They hold the lead and it will take three goals to settle nerves among the home support tomorrow.  It could be a tense occasion…….

    enjoyed that, if you go for a loaf make sure you’ve onl a pound in your pocket.

     

     

    Don’t watch their games but can someone explain why wee are talking about the huns winning (not just challenging) for the league. Hearts knew they were going down and started getting a team to win the 2nd division while still playing in the top division. Same manager and most players last season got them 3rd place. Thems had to let players go as they could not pay them with no money coming in during close season and had to start again.

     

     

    Last week an embarrassment? NO

     

     

    Embarrassment is when you owe over 100 million to 270 creditors and think you can continue as if it did not matter. THAT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT

    I see the downwards spiral that is Tony Watt’s career is spinning its way down to Tynecastle.

    Just rediscovered Lidl’s – popped in for a loaf of bread, no time later I found myself standing at the checkout with a 2 man tent, a chain saw and a diving suit!

    Aldi and Lidl sell gadgets that solve problems you didn’t realise existed. Anywhere. Ever.

     

    I think my favourite has to be the cigar humidor.

     

    I mean, who goes to Aldi or Lidl to buy one of those?

     

    And who, shopping there, sees one and thinks ‘Oh, that’s just the very thing’?

     

    Pizza scissors, that’s another one, who uses scissors to cut up a pizza?

     

     

    Ernie, we do, it’s a darn sight more efficient than those pizza cutter thingies….LOL

     

     

    HH

     

     

     

     

    It’s like a parallel universe.

    God gave most of us sufficient equipment to deal with a pizza. Hands and a mouth (maybe even teeth).

     

     

    Anything else is superfluous.. Nothing more than petty bourgeois affectation.

    What I want to know is, why did Chris Coleman give you chocolates, and were they any good?

  23. Tallybhoy on

    Tony Watt heading to Hertz?

     

     

    What a waste of a talent.

     

     

    Even big Jock would have struggled to keep him on the straight n narrow.

     

     

    …or mibbees naw?!

     

     

    Beautiful day in Troon.

     

     

    Hoachin with Weegies, including weans high on Buckie, vodka, cider…

    HH!!

    Lidl did I know that I would spend Aldi in the supermarket looking at their Finefare. Eventually I bought something for my Chicken Co-op.

     

    The Germans love these cheaper supermarkets due to them being the tightest nation on the planet. Copper wire was created by two Germans fighting over a Pfennig that they simultaneously found.

    And……like my father-in-law……….they were Swäbisch……… ;))

    Quick question, if you renewed your season ticket and haven’t changed seat, is it the same card?

     

     

    I think so.

     

     

    My brother doesn’t know where his card is from last year so was hoping to get a new one through.

    ‘Are knives an forks petty bourgeois affectations too?’

    For pizza? Yes.

    The pfennig (German: [ˈpfɛnɪç] ( listen); pl . pfennigs or pfennige (help. · info); symbol Pf. or ₰) or penny is a former German coin or note, which was official currency from the 9th century until the introduction of the euro in 2002.

     

     

    three pfennigs in a fountain CSC
