Illimitable: And when Xavi was asked who was the best player he had seen in 20 years, whose name did he mention?
This means nothing.
Xavi is an individual like Ronaldinho that called Lampard the best player ever to play in EPL. Their opinions are theirs, not the governing body's.
Illimitable: Player of the season award is a popularity contest. Scholes was a ginger, camera shy, didn’t give a fück about granting interviews to journos and pundits who drive the narrative of who to give the award.
You can be a shy player but your outstanding performances would definitely attract awards. Ngolo Kante will laugh at your 'camera shy' excuses.
Illimitable: Is it not illogical that a player who couldn’t win one league title in about 18 years to be inducted into the ball of fame?
No. Gone were the days people were deceived by players hiding under team's achievements to raise shoulder. Modric didn't win the last world cup but he was honoured for being outstanding individually more than those in the team that won it.
Gerrard was top assists provider in Epl , i am not sure Scholes topped in assists even in Man utd in one season in his 20 seasons in Epl.
Illimitable: Paul Scholes was the reason United won all those titles. It’s not a team achievement. He retired and he was brought back again to win it in SAF’s last season. Scholes was everything Gerrard dreamt to be and never was.
This must be a joke.
Take away Beckham, Giggs, Cole, Yorke, from that squad that dominated, Scholes would have been sold to Fulham.
Take away Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney, Scholes would have been left with his long sideways passes amounting to nothing like Hamas rockets.
Gerrard and Lampard retired Scholes from the national team for a reason.
Only dolts would query Gerrard's induction in the hall of fame because his team didn't win Epl.
popizaino: Pls take the bolded away, we are not a small club. The best club in the city of London can't be a small club. We are in 2021, Chelsea is a big club in all ramification.
Illimitable: Once they put Gerrard before Scholes, I confirmed their stupidity.
Scholes has 11 PL medals to Gerrard’s 0. This is like a popularity contest to them. It’s got nothing to do with footballing ability.
You guys should stop using only Team's achievement to rate players.
Did Scholes ever win Player of the season award in all the 20 seasons he played for Man utd? Even Epl team of the year he only made it twice, Gerrard 8 times.
Havertz10: Airmark was bragging about the grounds not being owned by roman, is that something that should be celebrated? Later they will say i hate the club.
Trevor012: Now take a look at the difference. Man City fans actually and rightly called out kdb performance today as bad despite getting an assist because he was sloppy with his passes. Bruno performs like this basically every match day then scores a penalty and get an assist from a side way pass and his fans here will be jumping up and down to it despite playing nonsense for the entire match and when you point it out to them they will start calling you hater.
Honor10: Bruno is not a big match player, always invisible in big games. Nonsense
CapitalCee: He is the best among our midfield, Fred running like a headless chicken, Bruno has been very poor, Matic Lazy.
milann: says who. I'm not a chelsea oh but i totally and wholeheartedly disagree with the bolded statement. Uh! Lampard that scored an unusual goal out of nothing in a group stage fixture against barca in 2006 or is it drogba, Drogba that singlehandedly scored crucial goals for chelsea including a matchwinner in the 2007 FA Cup final against man u. These two guys are legends in their own right for the leadership and pivotal roles they played in chelsea glory days.
The day Havertz starts playing well for Chelsea is when you should expect that boy to post reasonably.
What's not clear to you in my Post?! It simply means, you must understand football to appreciate Bruno.
Oasis my man.
Portuguese Cleverly is what that fake Brazilian was bringing near Lampard (Former 2nd best player in the world). You have a lot of Yaba left patients in that your fanbase.
Joezinho: [s] Players have to be judged over time so I am by no means saying he is better than a legend like Lampard but the following is a fact: Fat Lampard best ever season 27 goals (10 penalties) 18 assists
Bruno 1st full season 28 goals (so Far) (9 penalties) 17 assists
Lampard is a legend but Bruno deserves some respect for turning in these figures in his first full season[/s].
This is your brother from the same 'theatre of dreams' condemning your useless Bruno that ghosted in most big games. Fight him.
Oasis007: Priority in the Summer should be mainly concentrated on getting a solid DM and world class CM. We can't win ordinary Spoon with McFred.
At times it baffles to see the so called Professionals playing like Rookies, including Bruno. Ordinary pass, they can't string beyond 3. Ball control? Dribbling?
Aswear..... Man United Players should be arrested and charged to ICC for financial Fraud. They're worse than Yahoo Yahoo Boys.
Havertz10: [s]Mount has 5 assists 3 from corners and freekicks, he is playing at a top team, did you even watch the video, Lampard was playing at westham, it's not even the number of goals, the quality of his goals and his passing abilities were obvious same can't be said about mount
Abeg rest with the rejected story, lampard was condemned because the coach was his uncle, something happened one time doesn't mean that it will happen again
So any Chelsea player that is rejected, we should use Lampard as comparison that no matter what they will come good [/s]
[s]I guess scholes was a ballet dancer . Steven G and David Beckham are pornstars.
Bruno Fernandes broke and set a new record for numbers of goals and assists in a season. Man literally floored Frank Lampard in his 1st full season. 28G, 18A.
Make una rest with all these fat lampards stats.[/s]
You this fake Brazilian should never be taken seriously.
Just as we have some people condemning Mount now, a fan also said Scott Canham was better than Lampard. Harry Redknapp insisted on Lampard being good enough and would get to the very top. The rest is history.
thorrvik55: Trash.. Jorginho passed the ball into an empty and y'all blamed Zouma, Silva and Kepa.. We were hearing tins like why did Zouma pass to Jorg when there was an Arsenal player not too far from him, why did Kepa leave his post in anticipation of a pass from Zouma??
Kovacic was dispossesed for the 2nd goal and no one is arguing that fact.. If it was Jorginho that was dispossesed for that goal y'all would be shouting why did James pass to him as he was already been marked.
BTW I'm not a Jorginho hater
Lordfalcao will never disappoint with his wack analyses, even in a new decade.
Roland17: You mean the 2nd coming of prime Shaqiri?
Abeg hep me ask @airmark if Pulisic is injured?
He helped with an important goal and assist in our Semis. None of your players had scored in a UCL semi final before, not even sure anyone had played there.
hensben: He is a second half player , when opponents are tired. They keep saying here start Pulisic start Pulisic but don’t see all these things. He is talented but has average effectiveness and influence.
But did you say all these last season when he was on fire?
