In other words, Iniesta was a carryalong while Lampard was a carrier.

Don't compare drummer boy who dance behind Masquerade to the Masquerade please.

Even as a left winger tasked with making the difference, he was still a drummer boy that couldn't provide the winning impetus.

No... iniesta played the role his team needed him to play...

Teams were seating back to defend against barca and barca needed a person who could hold the ball under pressure against two or more opposing midfielders and creating more space for d attackers...

That's what iniesta did for barca and Spain and it got him a legacy substantially superior to that of Lampard

That must be the same way teams are sitting back against Chelsea today, and Kovacic will be holding the ball like Iniesta dribbling upandan without making incisive puncture in the opposition defence. Iniesta is no different from Kovacic. He should have statue of Messi, Villa and Eto in his house and pray to them everyday. Kovacic unfortunately can only do the exact same thing Iniesta does and hope on Willian to provide the difference.

How many UCL's has Iniesta won since Xavi left?

I saw Iniesta win league title after Xavi left. Show me the league trophy Xavi won 5 years before Iniesta rescued him. Show me the national trophy he won 6 years before Iniesta became a starter.

obainojazz:
Truth is, Iniesta perfected the act of being carried along, he's the best in the business. Xavi is the fire that cooks the soup, Iniesta will jump in and start forming steam coming out of the pot.

That's not true.

Xavi had been cooking soup for about 5 years before Iniesta with absolutely nothing to show. Iniesta came up to add seasoning.

Xavi should be grateful that Iniesta aided him.

Ibime:


Modric was not just Lampards junior, he was everyones junior including Gerrard, Fabregas and in his own team Van Der Vaart chased him away from AM position after he played AM for a year and couldn't produce any attacking returns.

The difference between Liverpool and Spurs could be boiled down to the difference between Gerrard and Modric. They often finish in not too dissimilar league positions, but Gerrard's incisiveness could take them deep into competitions while Modric was waiting for Carryalong.

Gareth Bale became World most expensive player playing for the same team because he was not waiting for any carryalong. Van Der Vaart pushed Modric out of AM position and immediately started hitting double figures for goals and assists where Modric was struggling to put even 5 together.

Modric simply followed the Iniesta route and tapped into carryalong blessings that Iniesta has been profiting from his whole career. Ronaldo has now taken those blessings to Italy, Modric cannot even carry himself anymore.

If Modric see Lampard, Gerrard, Fabregas or even Van Der Vaart today, he will still dobale for them cos shoe get size. I am happy he is greater than Iniesta today though. Much respect to him for out-Iniesta-ing Iniesta.

Hindsight has shown us that Modric's talent were more suited to a central midfield position which is why he has succeeded there...

How will Modric dobale for people he has outshined? He has won more champions league titles than all d midfielders you mentioned combined while winning d award for best midfielder virtually every single time...

Those midfielders would give their left testicles to have Modric's life right now.

Actually, if you had an iniesta now and attacker that was fertile unlike hazard, your problems would be gone...

And there lies your problem, barca had Messi and iniesta, you want to play d same style with kovacic and hazard

LordEmperoris1:
It is finished

I quit naira land.


without iniesta there won't be any Xavi

words from a wise barkabots

Instead of you to kiss the truth, you are spewing trash. Iniesta made Xavi, not the other way round. Iniesta won the league without Xavi. Iniesta won UCL without Messi and Xavi alongside him.

What major trophy did Xavi win without Iniesta for like 5 years?

See idiotic barca fans devaluating xavi just to praise iniesta ,iniesta is Spanish kovacic

And if Iniesta did not have fertile forwards he would be Kovacic.

Lampard is Lampard, a killer in his own right even if he plays with Malouda and Joe Cole.

Therein lies the difference between a carryalong and a killer.

Stats are important but they are not the ultimate in judging a player... You have to consider every metric...

And when you consider every metric... Iniesta is superior to Lampard

These Barca fans are pathetic.

In other news, Neymar has turned to a beggar. This guy is a shameless glory hunter. Now that he knows Mbappe has more years ahead to outshine him at PSG, he wants to go back to Barca, knowing that Messi has fewer years to shine. The mumu should come to epl, if he is tougher than Hazard.

iniesta being kovacic is not a bad thing sha,kovacic is/was a good player for us,modric and co was just better that is why the guy warm bench,this could have been iniesta career if he wasn't from LA masia,his unproductivity for an attacking midfielder can only be tolerated in Barcelona.

So-called killer that will be paddling stats in small league matches and finals when millions are watching other league matches.

But when the whole world focuses on the biggest match, when the ovation is loudest? The so-called carryalong will carry his team, while the "killer" gets killed.

5 European finals, 1 useless goal, zero assist.

Barkabots don camp here like zombie pack

Is this one alright? Neymar won best player in that league despite going on a long term injury

Neymar needs to go to the best league in the world, not some league where they haven't won a UCL in 6 years

now I get ur point.So considering that,how do we compare who is better between Lampard vs iniesta cos but were instrumental to their respective teams.....stats wise Lampard was better. .what are ur metric in ur ultimate conclusion? . .have it in mind that Spain was better than England likewise barca vs Chelsea. ..so cups n teams superiority are 100% negligible in judging a single player or rather comparing the player as well

Iniesta is a good player himself just like Kovacic/Dembele them, but nobody will mention them Kovacic/Dembele when we are talking of the absolute best, unlike Eunuch who got carried along into those conversations

Lampard attacking contribution to Euro 2004 is greater than Iniesta polling booth in 2012, or any attacking return in any tournament Iniesta has ever played.

You must be out of your mind, to be saying that now. So Neymar didn't know that, when he was offered to sign for PSG? He wasn't with his brain when he was asked why he wanted to leave Barca.

So Ronaldo should be begging Madrid now, cos serie a, haven't won ucl in 6yrs. You barcabots are ridiculous.

Don't ever forget this gif. We won UCL with this.

Same year someone said Iniesta went a whole year without assist.
