thorrvik55: Paul Scholes = 54 league assists -> The greatest midfielder to have played in EPL.
Frank Lampard = Over 100 league assists -> Not good enough
Zinedine Zidane = 69 league assists(France+Spain+Italy) -> One of the greatest midfielders to have played the game of football
Some have eyes but cannot see...
After 19 years of playing as a midfielder at a top club the Greatest midfielder to have played in EPL could only manage 54 league assists.
Someone that's not even the greatest albino to have played in EPL...
Eden that's better than Neymar and on same level with Messi and Ronaldo has scored just 4 goals from open play in the champions league at the age of 30. After 12 years playing as an attacker, this is what he could come up with?
Someone that's not even the greatest Hazard to have played anywhere, even street football lol
airmark: And what concerns me with swish and his legend?
I am asking you what made Scholes to produce paltry 73 assists in 709 matches? 1 assist in like every 10 matches. Name one great CM with such shameful stat?
I can name one easily. Eden Hazard has 4 goals from open play in the champions league. He is 29 years old. He is an attacker which makes it even worse
airmark: In behaviour, not in productivity on the pitch.
73 assists in 709 matches, this was not shakushaku, this was lalakukulala.
How about we hear from Zidane, Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Terry etc? Were they talking about behavior too? When swissh is the one cheering you, you need to question yourself if you're doing the right thing
airmark: No sensible central midfielder will want to finish career with a terrible, 73 assists in 709 matches and not making world best 11 once, in 19 seasons. They will prefer to win a world cup and make Fifa best 11 once before they quit.
No sensible central midfielder will want to be like Pogba instead of Scholes
airmark: Pogba has desciplinary issues and Lampard even criticised him.
If Pogba quits today, he won world cup and he made Fifa best 11, something the overrated albino never achieved, despite playing till 45yrs.
If Pogba quits today, nobody that wants to be successful will take him as a mentor/role model. There are so many other players that have won the world cup or made that list that nobody even remembers. But interview your legends today, they will call one name. E get why na
airmark: Ferguson wanted to replace him with Gerrard, because he needed more from his CM, which Scholes wasn't giving.
Whose fault that Scholes couldn't play corner and freekicks well? That's a plus for Lampard and you even helped in exposing Scholes limited skillset.
Very soon you will blame Ferguson for Scholes failure as a supporting striker when he started.
Ferguson wanted Gerrard to come and learn how to play football the right way under Scholes, not kick and follow nonsense he was used to. That's why England failed woefully with Lampard and Gerrard
airmark: Your best midfielder in the last 3yrs and the only world cup winner in your mumu team, picked Lampard ahead of your overrated albino. No wonder the albino hates him.
Now I understand the bad influence in Pogba's life. See as Pogba career wan end before e even start because he is unfortunate to want to play like Lampard. Tufiakwa
When they have no nerve to debunk good points, they go personal.
Didn't your overrated Scolesy, average 1 assist in every 10 matches based on his terrible 73 assists in 709 matches? None of other midfielders with low assists are this terrible.
People that know ball won't be asking questions like this na. Ferguson had a style and he played to that style. That's why he was so successful. He wasn't playing corner kicks and free kicks. I can't believe I am explaining this thing to you like this.
PS: I didn't go personal, I hyped you instead. Your knowledge of football has always been like this
afrodoc2: I think i have a clearer video than yours, which i will now proceed to post on the Assanal thread. Other Assanal unknowns must have their doubt cleared by their Igwe and Oluaye.
Swissh: Ephraim when will you have sense Jesus . Where did Henry message you on WhatsApp about Viera and Fabregas. All the scummies on this thread this useless
You obviously didn't watch the video. Wait till the end
afrodoc2: In this era of Coronavirus one has to be humane. I met an Assanal fan once, 90 yr old man and he has never celebrated a champions league triumph.
That is the life those unfortunate souls live. This man lived through World Wars 1 and 2 and has so many great experiences in life, but has never tasted champions league victory. In the honor of that old man i won't rub the fact that Assanal has always been useless in the champions league in the Assanal fans' faces. I just won't do it.
Doctor, you're a good man. You've done much more for humanity than the drunkard from assnal and the citadel leader. I celebrate you
airmark: When did he make best 11 of any of those Ucl tournaments, he reached their finals?
The albino was a carry-along midfielder, that averaged a terrible, 1 assist in every 10 matches. He was busy spraying useless passes to corner flags, instead of playing multiple key passes.
What happened to you airmark? Your knowledge of football used to be above average na. Is this coronavirus getting to you?
afrodoc2: This is really a drop the mic moment. If Arsenal's all-time greatest player whose statue is at the entrance to their stadium picks Scholes ahead of Gerrard then no need to bother with Arsenal unknowns here on NL.
Swissh: Someone that only started One champions league final in his career and that was out of pity from Ferguson. He was sitting on the bench for freaking Anderson .....Damn.
