D&D: HASBARA SQUAD
NO-QUARTERMASTER


From the river (of Palestinian blood) to the sea (of Palestinian tears)
my analysis of the match from a toon perspective-

sissoko wants out
cabella is a wasteman
obertan is a wasteman
perez is a hardworking talent in a poo poo team
williamson is in the wrong league
anita is in the wrong league
taylor is broken, rip
gutierrez is broken, rip
janmaat is hardworking talent in a poo poo team
krul is world class 1% of the time and average the rest

liverpoo are poo poo to only win 2-0 against that

Isn't that the second time sissoko's got sent off for 2 stupid yellows this season? The eternal problem with the francophone players is they get linked with arsenal once and think they're too good for our lovely team, something Graham Carr should consider imo

Although I think Cabella would be better in a team that can pass and create space for him.

I'd rather risk it on someone who just might be able to do something than take on David Moyes and know for certain that you'll come 10th for the next five years.

we need to be getting a lot more out of a club of this size and wealth. aren't the toon like the 13th-14th richest club in europe? nowhere near 13th or 14th best in the league, let alone across the continent

I'm realising I'm fairly care-mad at sissoko, who clearly is a pretty good player who just won't put a shift in. It's come to something when you're getting nostalgic for the days of Kebab, another petulant French oval office who at least played quite well when he wasn't "on strike"

I hope Newcastle hire someone hilarious. Preferably someone that's completely out of touch with modern football and who swears a lot. Maybe they could mispronounce people's names too.

This doesn't apply to Krul particularly, but if any keeper is described as "he's a good shot stopper, but" that means he's a bad goalkeeper.

Would anyone sign a keeper if they were not any good at stopping shots

The point is that's the minimum they should be. Every goalkeeper in the world has quick reactions but those kind of keepers always cost as many points as they win you. A shite winger like Obertan is "great pace, but". Half the fullbacks in the league are "good going forward, but".

Well yeah, but if your keeper was great in the air, brilliant at organising the defense, had good distribution and was a leader on and off the pitch, but was actually poo poo at stopping shots fired at him, would he be worth signing? It seems like stopping shots is more important than all their other attributes

This is a perfect description of Pepe Reina in his last season or two at Liverpool.
