Tuchel=Fraud

hensben:
Very irritating I tell you. Leave those up barka boys they know nothing about football, they think supporting Barcelona make them football analytical genius just like genius Messi.

bigkesh:
Be honest

Replace Iniesta in that Barca team of 09....Messi-Eto-Henry-Lampard......That's at least 130 goals guaranteed in a season from the front 4 ,You think barca wouldn't have dominated?? They might have less possession but definitely more clinical


Now put Iniesta in CFC team,Can you say the same??

sebod:
You can't be talking of a player's individual brilliance and be limiting it to goals and assists bro. It doesn't work. So many factors have to be taken into consideration. such as: goals and assists, tactical skills,long and short range pass, creativity,on-the-ball mastery, tricks and ball control, dribbles, ability to dictate play, soak pressure, produce moments of magic and show up when it matters most.
Lampard trumps the Don in goal scoring+assists based on stats but lags in every other factor.
Iniesta, with his lesser goals+assists have not only appeared in the biggest of stages, but delivered top notch performances to ensure his team won. Can same be said of Lampard? What then are the usefulness of all the goals+assists if none has helped his team in the biggest stages?
Iniesta's few goals+assist did not only ensure his country become a force to reckon with in the world of football, he was a major force in the scheme of things.
Madrid, Man U, Juve, Arsenal, netherlands, Germany can all testify to Iniesta's brilliance having been on the receiving end due to his few goal+assists on the biggest stages. What can we say about your messiah?
Why can't he at anytime produce just a moment of magic to save his country from embarrassment? Instead of proving answers, you will be giving us excuses.
A typical Shekpite

It is Sevilla, not Emery, that are good in Cup games.

bykebyke:
Okay o.

They play Madrid 3times in a period of 10days,hopefully he comes clutch both in the league and the Copa.

bykebyke:
Sampaoli has gotten Sevilla into the next round of the UCL in his first season,did Unai Emery ever manage that feat?
Yet you are waiting for a cup game to assess Sampaoli.

Okay o

bykebyke:
Sampaoli master classes incoming.

quote my post to see how i did it

bigkesh:
Mathematician sir,how many years will it take an Iniesta to achieve all these?

Ibime:
Take away the 50 penalties and see if anyone comes close.

We are talking of a nigga with 273 club career goals, something elite strikers will kill for.

If a striker scores 20 goals a season, it will take him almost 14 seasons to achieve that.

Assists is 184. It would take an elite midfielder 12 years of 15 assists per season to get close to that.

Put some respek on the name please.

ElDeeVee:
Hahahahahah joker. I see you've done some Google work there. Nice one!

However, I can tell you for free that, over 70% of those appearances were from the bench and most times he came on, Ronaldinho and company would have raped the opponent already. Little wonder why he didn't start Barca's first UCL final appearance in over a decade in 2006 against Arsenal.

Trust me bro, he was way down the order then. Everyone knows this except you.

ElDeeVee:
Funny you mehn...we both know Ini was just a young peripheral figure for Barca prior to 2007 with more established midfielders like Van Bommel, Deco, Xavi, Motta and Edmilson ahead of him in the pecking order. Also, after 2013, his performance dropped drastically and it was a big surprise for the whole world to see him in 2014 FIF Pro XI. However, I for one, will not forget the great Ini that played some mad soccer for Barca and Spain between 2007 & 2013.

Bottom line - Iniesta and Lampard are football greats

hensben:
We remember Lampard in Moscow 2008 win or lose.

hensben:
Your last statement sold you out. You mentioned drogba and Zidane but didn't mention xavi, Alonso. Since those two retired Spain have returned to their usual self.

hensben:
Shut up football is not lawn tennis. If Barca succeeded in signing Lampard that year he would've achieved same accolades as iniesta if not more. Gerrard was a great footballer but his loyalty to Liverpool restricted him to achieve so many things in football like his mate(Lampard and iniesta).
Lampard was a great
Footballer just like iniesta. My problem with you guys is your double standard when it comes to stats, it can be use when comparing hazard and Neymar (even while they play different position) but can't be use when comparing iniesta and Lampard(even as they play same position).

ElDeeVee:
There is absolutely no need comparing these 2 guys. They both paid their dues in their own ways.
Iniesta was a fantastic player for Spain and Barca between 2007 and 2013 and won lovely trophies along the way. Lampard, on the other hand, had a great time playing for his club between 2003 and 2012, winning some trophies and setting some mad goal records. I am sure if you ask them both about their football careers, they will tell you they are satisfied with how things panned out. Nuff said mehn

sebod:
Some guys are thrilled by players who are good at padding stats...... I'd rather go for the ones that rise up to the occasion at the biggest stages not the ones that disappear into the thin air when they are needed most.

Ibime:
Fixed. From now on, all "Up Barka" boys should reference Lampard the Iniesta Worshipper by his proper nomenclature

Emaprince:
^^

Just to spite Ozil, you are shamelessly telling us how Ororo (the best player to ever do it) and that lazy Benzema have been opening barca nyash? Hmm.

Ibime:
Iniesta provide wetin?

Even then, his assist ratio was not phucking with Dani Alves, much less Lampard.

Ibime:
Do you think ZERO GOALS and ZERO ASSISTS can win anything for a club like Chelsea? Is it Salomon Kalou and Malouda that will provide them?

It is only in Barca you type this kind of rubbish, because you have the luxury of doing so.

hensben:
Debroslink is a club fan not football fan. He's one of those up Barca fans that started supporting the club during Ronaldinho time.

Ibime:
So those two sweet assists vs Barca never brought trophies to Chelsea in 2012?

Is it ZERO goals and ZERO assists in one calendar year that will bring trophies to Chelsea?

You think any major club in Europe will stomach their key attacking midfielder going one full year with ZERO goals and ZERO assists? Thank God for MSN.

Ibime:
You don't know jackshyt. Mata was the passenger in that UCL final.

UCL 2012, at 34 years old, Lampard was dragging his team to final with numerous assists and solid midfield defensive work.

At 35 years old, he was still dragging his team to finals.

At 30 years old, he was equalizing in UCL final.

At 30 years old, Iniesta started going one full calendar year with ZERO goals and ZERO assists.

At 35 years old, he will be playing in Qatar, never mind helping his team to finals.
