popizaino:
You are the one claiming it is only Xavi doing everything we should have made it more difficult for him for him to be very successful but alas it's the opposite. So tell us why Lampard who has had his responsibility shared on the pitch less successful than xavi?

I'm not claiming anything, It is a fact backed by Xavis more defensive position on the pitch, his number of passes, his assists and goals record in comparison to Iniesther

Until you give me one example of a midfield duo where one player does all 4 elements,. don't ask any further question.

popizaino:
Xavi was doing controlling possession, defending, assisting and also scoring that's why Barca and Spain was so successful.


Why was Lampard who had two more other players helping in the defending and controlling not as successful as Xavi ?


@ibime.

You have not answered which other midfield duo in history where one player does everything like Xavi does for IniEdo. I am still waiting

raumdeuter:
Modric is expected to do all these since he plays further. Which is why no one will celebrate Casemiro tackling more than Modric

But when Casemiro dey outscore Modric from DM

Will only show Modric is a fraud

Keeping it consistent like Xavi vs Iniesta

You are talking rubbish

This is how it should break down between a defensive and attacking player in a midfield duo

Defending - DM
Controlling - DM
Assisting - AM
Scoring - AM


If Modric gave Casemiro the scoring responsibility, Casemiro equally gave Modric the Controlling responsibility, so all things are equal

Now explain how Xavi took all 4 elements from Iniesta the fraud

raumdeuter:
Caseiro tackling, Casemiro Scoring while playing further back

How can Casemiro from DM be outscoring Modric in CM and AM.

That must show that Modric is a fraud

Modric controlling possession and assisting. A perfect and equal balance, 2 each

Now tell me why Xavi runs the defending and controlling, and still runs the assisting and scoring

raumdeuter:
How is scoring a tie when Casemiro played about 100 games less than Modric

Ok, at least Modric got two of the 4 - assisting and controlling

Name me one midfield duo in history where one midfielder collect all 4 apart from Xavi and Fraudniesta

popizaino:
That shakushaku is was brought about 2 Euro,1 world cup,4 UCL and that is why for 24hrs you cannot tell us why xavi without iniesta couldn't make it past inter Milan in 2010 UCL semifinals.


Let's agree it's all about the criteria you wrote above for midfielders

Lampard

Controlling - Lampard
Defending - Lampard
Assisting - Lampard
Scoring - Lampard

Why did Lampard not win the same way Xavi who had the similar metrics as him ? You know shakushaku is useless as iniesta

In any midfield combination, you know Makelele, Essien or whoever will be the higher contributor to defending and controlling while Lampard will be the higher contributor to assist and scoring.

I have never seen one midfield combination where one man does all 4 for his partner

Controlling - Xavi
Defending - Xavi
Assisting - Xavi
Scoring - Xavi

Name me one midfield combination you have seen such a thing. I will wait

Is it Okocha-Oliseh

Is it Makelele and Zidane

KDB and Rodri?

Carrick and Scholes?

This is madness

Iniesta is a thief!!!

Taguchi:
only Agenda can make Iniesta who is better than frank lampard here to be termed a fraud

There is no agenda. Like I said, I discovered Iniesta is a fraud when I looked past commentators hype, studied Barcas game and discovered Xavi literally does everything I credited to Iniesta. Iniestas top level career was only 2 years old at that stage. That is part of learning and not having fixed opinions

popizaino:
All the energy used to disparage iniesta's career stats must be expunge today.


Oya give us your take on this.

Ibime
Afrodoc.

No excuse of different era.

You have answered the question in the bolded and still asking foolish question. Players don't play outside the formation and expectation of their time

Go and bring the best AMs and wingers of Zidane era to compare - Figo, Nedved, Laudrup, Aimar, Veron, Rui Costa and co

raumdeuter:
I can also ask that did Modric make tackles more than Casemiro? Whi is Casemiro a pure DM dragging goals in less games than Modric

Can we conclude that Casemiro carried Modric in Madrid like you did for Xavi vs Iniesta on account of his goals

Do you have pap in your brains, or are you too blind to see the obvious

There are 4 elements of midfield play


Casemiro and Modric:

Defending - Casemiro
Controlling possession - Modric
Assisting - Modric
Scoring - Tie


Xavi and Iniesta:

Defending - Xavi
Controlling possession - Xavi
Assisting - Xavi
Scoring - Xavi

Only thing Iniesta brings is shakushaku which is not an element

Your Modric agenda to defend the carry along is dead on arrival.

raumdeuter:
Casemiro and Modric were both in Madrid from August 2012 to June 2022

Casemiro was a pure DM while Modric was CM/AM

Casemiro played 334 games

Modric played 436 games

Casemiro scored 31 goals

Modric scored 31 goals

One of them was definitely more defensive than the other

Now you are free to use the stats above for more agenda

Did Casemiro control games more than Modric, take more touches and make more assists?

Modric is a failed AM, that's not in doubt, hence why Van Der Vaart pursued him from AM position to the left wing after Modric couldn't produce in that position at Spurs, but that's none of my business. When they fail as AMs, they rebrand as DM or CM, following Schweinsteigers playbook.

Ibime come and see your boy

lol. That guy knows how to work social media

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
The work/business experience part is even more important than your academic qualifications for an MBA. So important that some people get admitted to MBA’s with no previous degrees at all. Do you not know this? Lol.

I’m talking about high level/managerial level business and leadership experience that they look for. Not the kind of experience you can get interning at your uncles company for 6 months lol pls go educate yourself more on this bro. You talk NOT like a first class graduate at all.

You have proven my point. There are MBA students as we speak with only 5 GCSEs to rub together.

In the accounting field, some people go straight from secondary school to Chartership, work hard through sweat, not brains, climb the Corporate ladder and may end up as CFO or CEO. They then cover their lack of education with an MBA

You can't compare the brainpower of such a person with a typical Cambridge undergraduate who would have been carrying first at all levels from primary school through to A Levels.

I have a friend doing MBA right now in UK that I send his coursework to one of my accounting mentee in Nigeria to do for him, and he will do it in his sleep without cracking his brains. Like I said, what you put forth is not impressive, your story is still sketchy, and graduation is still in doubt.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
To get into an Ivy League for undergrad requires just money, a good SAT score and maybe a little connection might help. To get admitted to an MBA requires a good bachelors degree or many years of relevant professional/business experience, an essay that is practically like a thesis, strong references from top business professionals that can vouch for your abilities and various levels of interview with members of the faculty. You have to successfully attain all these before you can even be given a “conditional” offer and then if fully accepted of course you have to remember the heavy fees.

Haha. You know someone is pained when they reply to the same post like 5 times

You need 4 As (now A star) at A Levels to make it to Cambridge as an undergrad. Bear in mind, 95% of students only sit 3 A Levels, not four.

You only need a 2.1 to pay and get on an MBA

Speaking as someone who didn't get close to 4 As at A Levels but easily made a 1st class honours, I should know which is harder. My sister who got to Cambridge with 4 As at A Levels had always come first from Primary School through Secondary school, and I'm talking of the most competitive schools. Those are the type that get to Cambridge as an undergrad, not a run-of-the-mill 2.1 that can get there for MBA. It is ten times harder to get into Cambridge as an undergrad than an MBA. Rest.

It's obvious you have a 2.1 and no professional work experience, making it seem as if the work experience requirements are onerous. My colleague who went to Judge Business school in 2016 had lesser work experience than me. You probably made up your work experience from Nigerian uncles to get in, that's why you are ranting like it's a big deal.

popizaino:
Day 2


Ibime come out and tell us why Xavi all of a sudden lost the UCL semifinals without iniesta in 2010. I don't want to hear Ovrebo shit.

No need for Day 2

Do not let the sun go down on your anger - Ephesians 4:26

Kantebets:
when Saka missed the penalty at uefa euro last year the guardian didn’t go around babysitting him like they did with Kane

I don’t expect them to overtly display racism but there is surely an undertone to racism from the Kane treatment

Deductive reasoning

Wey the Guardian article on Saka now?

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Hehehe this guy is so obsessed with me he went back YEARS into my first account to dig up information. YouWin was what, 10 years ago? Long before I even thought of doing an MBA. For your information I made a cool and easy 10m Naira at an early age from that scheme thanks to some inside baseball I was able to play hehe.

I didn't go digging nothing. You came here with Slyfoxxjoe account and that was one of your first topics on your account.

I see you have deleted the account but how did 2015 when you were applying for the program become 10 years ago. Let's say you got into the program in 2016, that's 6 years ago

So between then and now, what year did you go through the undergrad, then MBA, and how did your family afford JBS MBA (currently £78k) as you just attested, while you are applying for N10m Youwin scheme (then £20k).

Noting it takes 4 years to complete undergrad and MBA and you were rejected for the MBA twice, extending the timeline to 6 years.

Your story isn't stacking up brev, but maybe you have a plausible timeline.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Did you just say any fool with money can get a Cambridge MBA? Lol. I must have been dreaming all the while when I was hustling to get a 2:1 UK bachelors degree, relevant work experience and strong references from prominent business leaders and politicians in Nigeria and Britain to even get shortlisted and ultimately successful at the THIRD attempt. You have no idea what you are saying my man.

None of the above are achievements. Like I said, any fool can get into JBS MBA. I know because my colleague with 2.1 from Uni of West of England did. You sound cowered by the work experience part which any professional should have naturally. And then you are giving away a low achiever vibe by making out as if hustling for a 2.1 in BA was a big struggle, not even a STEM degree oh. Like I said, getting into Ivy league for MBA is not impressive, getting into Ivy league for undergrad is.

Slytiger:
I do not remember the name, but I think it's one of those polytechnics that recently got converted to a uni.

Those were converted in the 1980s. They'll be legit.

But there are some funny schools now that are not legit where a lot of Indians and the likes use to enter UK

Slytiger:
In addition to the expired visas that he often posts on different threads on Nairaland, he sometimes uploads a Bachelor of Business Administration certificate from a mushroom UK university. I would be shocked if he is yet to post that on this thread.

He's a hustler. What's the name of the uni, let's see if it's legit?

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Bahahah. I See you’ve been doing your research. My education is still paining these libtards to the point they can’t sleep over it. hahah. Not my fault your family can’t afford it bro. I’m so sorry about that. But I digress.
.

Was that before or after you applied for YOUWIN?

Any fool can get into an MBA. An MBA does not have stringent entry requirements except your money.

I would be more impressed if you got into Cambridge based on your secondary school or A level result, not paying to enter MBA which anyone with a 2:2 can do, and from your level of thinking I'm now doubtful if you came out of the other side of the MBA. Matriculation and graduation are two different things.

Entering an MBA requires your money, coming out of an MBA requires a bit of work, although the academic depth of an MBA is still not impressive to me at all. It's lower in academic rigour than a CFA level 1 or the first 50% of any accounting chartership.

wirinet:
I am shocked you bought that "Michael" turned Mitchell Obama conspiracy theory. And you pride yourself into being ivy league( or its equivalent) level of education. You seem to have bought into every conspiracy theory ever spawn by far right conspiracy theorists from brietbart to QAnon, whose main audience are illiterate and semi illiterate conservatives.

That nigga should show his graduation certificate, based on the nonsense he brings here. He is demarketing Cambridge seriously here, my sisters Alma mater, and I have couple of friends and colleagues who've passed through Judge business school for MBA, I don't believe such an uncouth creature passed through the walls of an MBA. The first thing he would learn there is to be measured and rational.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
All I asked you to do is justify your anger about me referring to Michelle Obama as a man (which she very much looks like to me) by give game the proper definition of what a woman is.

You can call her what you want. You can as well call yourself an astronaut, or a Judge Business school graduate. Freedom of expression.

When a mad man walks naked, it's his kinsmen who feel shame, not himself. I have corrected you on her gender. If you choose to continue walking naked, it's you the market square will observe.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Bahaha. When I call you a brain damaged fool now you will say I am wicked. I read this nonsensical collage of a response twice and at no point did I see an answer to my very simple question or any correlation to it at all.

You are now typing jargons because you know I have you in a corner. Answer the fvcking question fool. What is a female? How can you get so mad at me labelling Michelle Obama a man if you yourself don’t know what a woman is?

You see how you sound like a hypocrite? Calling conservatives time wasters when it is you brain damaged liberals that constantly waste our time with nonsense like this. Simple definition of woman you can’t give and yet you get so emotionally vested in “women's issues” you all sound like a bunch of clowns and jokers to all sane minded human beings I swear. How can you be a defender of what you cannot even define?

Bloody psychotic imbeciless. I honestly believe it’s a form of severe mental retardation to be a modern day liberal or democrat. Not old school liberals like Harold Ford Jr. who still have some common sense, I’m taking specifically about you gender confused, Trump obsessed, republican deranged lunatics that populate this thread. I laugh so hard every time I log on here.

Bloody clowns.

You can only foam at the mouth and rant endlessly.

Whether someone is male or female does not have any impact or bearing on what a lawmaker or politician can action. I am here to discuss politics, not whether you have permission to call Michelle or Michael a man, woman or donkey.

You are in Nigeria, an ultraconservative country with anti-gay laws and Bobrisky has not been stopped from calling himself a woman. James Brown and Denrele have not been arrested or prosecuted for anything along that line, it's in Yankee you want to come and violate human rights.

It's better you stick to campaigning whether they can be banned from competing in female sports. That's an actionable policy that many will support, but you cannot throw anyone in jail or make them fall foul of the law for what they choose to call themself.

Keep foaming at the mouth like the usual Trumpanzee manchild over shit that doesn't matter.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Have you ran away?

Lol okay let me make it easy for you. This is my own definition of a female as obtained from a simple google search. I fully agree that any human that meets this criteria is a female.

Do you agree that Michelle Obama is a female because she meets this criteria AND any human that does not fulfill same criteria cannot be considered a female by any sane or rational person?

Simply agree with me on this and I will concede to you that Michelle Obama is indeed a woman and I was foolish for ever questioning it.

But if you don’t, if you play the usual idiotic liberal game of suggesting gender is subjective, then I have every right to say I believe Michelle Obama is a man without any pushback or criticism from you.

Did you guys change the law for the 4 years you were in power or are you going to rabble rouse without doing anything as usual. Unserious mentally unstable people. Have your candidates for the next election put it in their manifesto to ban transgenderism?

What is a rabble rouse without actionable policy and change of law? Bunch of grown men shouting and foaming at the mouth like Simon Ekpa and Nnamdi Kanu to waste people's time unnecessarily. Put it in your manifesto, let's know if you are serious or just dog whistling as usual for emotionally unstable folks who vote on unactionable emotions.

Kilishihunter:
I honestly don't like dragging lampard cause he was super efficient with G/As after dragging them with your striker drogba but why didn't he use all that to lead england to at least one semifinals appearance in an international tournament? Afterall he played alongside a golden generation, Drogba had to come up clutch in Bavaria to deliver Chelsea's First UCL ahead of oga lamps who has mammoth stats

Lampard did the same in 2008 final as DD did in 2012, except Terry missed his pen

Evaluating player performance logically without the emotion of the event and commentators lamba is how I discovered Iniesta was a fraud

Take away emotions of the win and Lampard did exactly the same as DD - scored the equaliser and scored his penalty

English is your problem isn’t it?

I have seen the pictures looooong ago. I didn’t need you to show me.

What if she was transed as a kid? Do you liberals not talk about the virtue of surgically transitioning little kids these days?

So why is it so shameful to you now if people think Michelle is a trans kid? Lol.

Modern liberalism is the true biggest waste of time because you people are so confused with even the most basic terms Lol. See as you fall for my trap yakata. This is exactly the argument I wanted to rope you into.

Now I have one simple question for you bro; pls define woman or female….

What is the biological definition of a female.

I’m waiting.

Take the picture to your foolish friends on Twitter so they can stop wasting their day

Transitioning as a child in 1970s, yeah right

popizaino:
How many UCL finals did he win with his 7 UCL semifinals goals?


Iniesta isn't Frank Lampard's mate in any aspect of football. I might respect Lampard as a club legend but I won't be blind to what is clear as day light.

How many does Iniesta have?

If 7 is not enough, then you should know teammates are the problem

Lampard is only working with Drogba as far as winning games, same level as Eto. Iniesta is working with Ronaldinho, Eto, Henry, Messi, Villa, Suarez, Neymar that will add their own contribution and carry him through. Why won't he get further with one or two GA than Lampard will do with 7 GA

Let Iniesta work with Malouda and Joe Cole, let's see whether Chelsea will even qualify for UCL

Difference between a carrier and a carryalong

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Lol okay. I never said I believe the rumors personally you moronn. I just asked questions. I have seen these pictures before (and yes she still looks like a boy there, or at least a very ugly girl ) but why is it such a bad thing to you if people think she is trans?

Why ask questions you can answer with two braincells in 5 second

So you wasted your whole day on Twitter sharing and following this nonsense that you could have swatted away in 5 seconds, then came to Nairaland to type epistles on it, further wasting time down a rabbit hole

I repeat what I said earlier, modern day Republicanism.is the biggest waste of Americans time today

Ibime:
Being an American Republican is a complete waste of a grown man's time these days

Political discourse is reduced to whether Michelle Obama is a man, whether Obama was born in Kenya, whether Pelosi was fúcking a man, whether Dominion voting machine was hijacked by Venezuela, whether Hunter Biden was viewing child porn, whether Hilary was sacrificing children. . . something, something, Fauci

Look what Trump introduced into politics.

American and Umudike Republicans alike will need psychological evaluation after this phase of politics is over

afrodoc2:
Fourfourtwo a higly reputable football magazine named Xavi No 1 but Esquire magazine a fashion magazine named Iniesta No 1.

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ranked-the-10-best-spanish-players-ever

Popizaino won't see this affidavit of Pep and Aragones saying they built everything around Xavi

They even showed Debroslink when everything changed for Spain and Barca based on their decision to build on Xavi, not that foolish lamba he is selling about Iniesta making Xavi from 2008, as if we did not watch the transformation live in 2008

Every player has affidavit. When an attacking player is using affidavit instead of stats, just know something is wrong.

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
I ask a vilid question.. why are there mysteriously no pictures of her pregnant? We all know Obama used to frequent gay clubs and snort cocaine in his days as an Illinois state senator so is it too far far fetched for one to be suspicious about his sexuality and the real gender of his “wife”?

Trumpanzees are very crazy people. They see one foolish thing on Twitter and start repeating it to themselves, when they could disabuse their minds with a 5 second Google search. Dumb Trumpanzees started showing picture of Melania pregnant with Barron Trump in 2006 internet age, after Trump has already been a celebrity for over 30 years and pictures taken wherever he and his wife go, and asking for Michelle own to prove she is female. That's where the nonsense above is.coming from

Michelle was not a celebrity when she was pregnant so has no reason for her pregnancy pictures to be in the media space. Her last pregnancy was in 1997, long before they entered politics and in Polaroid age when they print photos and keep in family albums

A simple 5 second Google search could have disabused your mind as to her gender, but as usual, most Trumpanzees think with emotional side of their brain over logic.

Adiwana:
I personally think Xavi is really underrated and he was my favorite of the two. Extremely visionary that measured passes as if he was playing with a rule tape. Unfortunately in football, flair is what people see especially in a world where YouTube comps is a driving force of perception. Just put together a clip of a player scoring or doing fancy dribbles, every other player is rubbish. That’s why attackers will always get more recognition than defenders.

That being said, slandering Iniesta to make Xavi good is still silly. Both are perfect in what they did and did their jobs excellently.

You have spoken well
