Pirlo and Xavi outstat any deeplying midfielders in assists or ball possession which is what matters most.

Iniesta should face his fellow offensive midfielders and tell us why he never posted double-figures for goals and only twice posted double figures for assists in a 15 year career, instead of hiding behind defensive midfielders.

Soon he will be associating himself with Franco Baresi and asking us if Franco Baresi is not a great player cos he doesn't have stats.

It is a different league with a different style of play and played against different opponents. In Spain for example, they have more passes, run less kilometres and convert less set pieces. Also, they do not fulfill the same role, unlike Lamps and Gerrard.

If we do judge them, we would judge them within constraints, but the judgement would be more qualitative than quantitative.

Iniesta's passing stats are infinitely better than Lamps because Barca take more touches than Chelsea. Have you checked Iniestas successful dribbles stats in comparison to Lampard?

If I say Lamps is a better scorer than Iniesta, am I wrong?

Stats tell me Iniesta is a better passer and better dribbler. Lampard is a better scorer. . . . .now I can make a judgement on who is better overall and say Iniesta is better overall.

Firstly Hope your exams went well as i'm sure you've done it already?

Back to Iniesta, He was a CM not an AM so we need to stop conparing Him to Lamps or Silva who were true AMs. They had different roles in their respective teams. Their roles in the National team where Silva can be seen occuping the more advanced role of the two only buttresses my point.

You don't amass the No of appearances for the two best teams for the best part of a decade if you are mediocre(Spain and Barca)

Heywhizzy:
Epl fan boys would always have an excuse for Guardiola bossing their league..They talk of him spending excessively to win it but ask them if

Ederson is better than de gea, courtois, Cech or lloris.. They would shout a big No

Ask them if Fabian delph is better than Alonso, Shaw, Young, Blind, Moreno, Kolasinac or the likes.. They would be quick to remind you he ain't even a natural 3

Is walker better than Valencia, Moses, Aurier, Bellerin or the rest.. They would still argue

Is Otamendi, Stones and Kompany better than Bailey, Jones and Rojo/Smalling or Azpilicueta, Christiansen and Luiz/Rudiger.. They would be quick to tell you that Stones is over hyped, Kompany time is passed and Otamendi is an old fool

Is fernandinho better than matic, kante, Henderson, Xhaka or Eric dier.. They would shout God forbid

Is De bruyne/Silva better than Fabregas, Ozil, Coutinho, Pogba, Alli.. They would still argue

Is sterling and sane better than hazard, Sanchez, martial, Salah, rashford, Mane, willian.. Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man.u fans will break your head for merely asking

Is Aguero and Jesus better than Lukaku, Ibrahimovic, Morata, Lacazette, Firminho or Kane.. They would tell you Aguero feeds on penalties and Gabriel is only lucky


In all this I've said, isn't it obvious that the main player that makes Man city special is their coach.. see through the veil of the money spent, he got the players he needed and fitted them into a great team.. not like he bought mercenaries or players of the caliber of Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar

This is all story for the Gods. When did Chelsea ever play 4-2-3-1. Chelsea have always played 4-3-3 with Lampard in the exact same role as Iniesta. No matter how you wash am, Iniesta was the most advanced of 3 midfielders. Una go soon move am go left-back.

When Has Lamps ever played with such a Lethal Front 3 like Iniesta has done for the past decade now?

Eto-Dinho-Guily
Eto-Messi-Henry
Messi-Villa-Pedro
Messi-Neymar-Suarez

I can recall di matteo,benitez and mourinho all played 4-2-3-1 at Chelsea,,, only conte has played a different formation for Chelsea in recent times...

I am sick of these excuses. If you have such lethal front 3, then your assist should be through the roof.

So common Pedro and Villa is now the lethal front 3 that made Iniesta not to contribute?

If so Bakayoko should not bother since he has the lethal Pedro playing with him.

Which lethal front 3 does Spain have that made Silva outscore Fraudiesta by 3 to 1?

Now Neymar is gone and Suarez is off form, what has Iniesta contrubuted now he is playing with front 2 or front 1.

Silva, Debruyne are playing behind lethal front 3 of Jesus, Sterling, Aguero, did you see them turn Eunuch?

I keep saying it, Lamoard will cop 35 goals in that Barca team.

Front 3 ko, front 3 ni. Carryalong nigga.

Zidane had 38 assists in 6 seasons @ Real Madrid. An average of 6 assists per season. Yet guys like I.bime do not troll him.

It doesn't have to be through the roof. That's not his job. His job is to dominate the midfield and create a platform for the attacking players to weave their magic. And ofcourse He creates and scores goals himself when needed.

Ibime:


Zidane career stats match up with the top 10 midfielders of his era. Iniesta career stats do not enter top 50 of his era. Which AM of Zidanes era will I troll him with? Iniestas era, we can even troll him with John Terry and Sergio Ramos.

The same Zidane has more than doubled Iniestas goals from a low scoring era.

Receive sense!
