mankand: Well shit just got real. Warlords are now been celebrated
Real Warlords who use bombs and machine guns and commit untold atrocities have been celebrated in Niger Delta for over a decade. Lagos just started celebrating a common agbero who uses knife and shotgun and you are already complaining. Welcome to the reality of Nigeria. South-West is finally catching up to the rest of us who have to kowtow to thugs daily. Rivers State House is 99% ex-militants, all of them more deadly than Oluomo.
airmark: Pogba : ''The manager told me to get in the box, get goals. My best example is Frank Lampard. He’s the one who makes those runs.’
‘That’s what we want. That’s why we play. We need to keep it up. We won today and got three points.''
This one we want to bring a bag of beans from Italy again, Sarri should tell Barkley and Kovacic to do the same. They should stop forming Iniesta up and down, we don't have Messi, Suarez and Neymar upfront. We only have Hazard.
Please help us beg Kovacic to take cue from Pogba oooooh.
The Cherries signed Ake for a club record fee of £20million in June 2017, but a £40million buy-back clause was inserted in his contract. Chelsea to make move soon.
Ake should be brought back as DM or LB. He is too small for CB, although with Sarri system where CBs are supposed to be passers first, that may not matter.
homesteady: So their player ratings for one match translates into player ratings for the whole competition? Another post, another lie.
Below is Whoscored team of the tournament. Can you point to his name?
I see Xavi, Alonso there and other cats that delivered that tournament to Spain while the impotent one was dancing shakushaku. If I pull Spain team ratings for that tournament, he will be their lowest ranking midfield regular.
homesteady: Haan!! Ibime you and I know English is not hard for you. You claimed Iniesta scored 1 goal in the tournament, meanwhile he scored 2.
Spain had only three scorers that year, everybody knows how Spain preferred to pass the ball around and that they were a low scoring side. Yet, despite struggling with an injury during the competition, Oga Iniesta still netted twice.
Nothing like that. I only refer to goals and assists in knockout stage, not group games vs Saudi Arabia or Kazakhstan.
Xavi assists took Spain through 1-0 wins in every knockout stage, 2nd round, QF and Semi. Hence I said Iniesta just popped up in the final to claim glory where Xavi had been carrying him through the whole tournament.
That's why Forlan and Sneijder were rated in that tournament and not Iniesta, cos they knew he was only pulling Eder stunts.
homesteady: See you grasping at straws after been exposed!!!
If UEFA gives an assist after a rebound goal, they would have added it to Xavi's total, but sorry Bros, they don't. Or do you want to argue with UEFA?
A shot at goal that keeper palms to another player to tap in is an assist in any league. I don't care what you pull up from Google, I speak from memory and normal interpretation of the game. FIFA definition of assist includes
After goals from rebounds those players were awarded an assist who had shot on target.
Transfermarkt and Whoscored also counted it as assist.
homesteady: Ibime has been screaming upandan that Iniesta was carried all through 2010 Worldcup until he just popped up and scored the final goal. And some of his minions have taken it as the gospel and they have been using it to attack Iniesta.
My posts are facts. You are the liar.
World Cup 2010:
2010 WC semi vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist, 2010 WC QF vs portugal 1-0 xavi assist. 2010 WC 2nd rounnd vs Paraguay, 1-0, xavi assist
Can you tell us Iniesta contribution, let us see if it does not tally with what I said above.
homesteady: Just like he said Iniesta went a whole year without a goal or assist, when it was even during that period that Iniesta gave one of the most memorable assists in UCL history.
Again, you lie. Iniesta went 365 days without league goal or assist.
22nd March 2014 to 22nd March 2015.
A self respecting AM should have retired at that point for pure shame at being carried along for a whole year.
Or is it a lie that either now or at some point in the recent past, Sergio Ramos and John Terry had scored more goals than the impotent AM?
I will keep exposing these facts, you will continue to get ashamed at your so called greatest AM, if you like you can call me liar.
homesteady: In John 8:44, Jesus had you in mind! Ibime, Father of lies. Xavi had only one assist!
Iniesta had 2 dead rubber assist? 1)So the first assist in a semifinal after a goalless 50 minutes in a torrid condition is a dead rubber assist? 2) An assist that led to Xavi's only goal in the competition is a dead rubber assist? BTW, you guys should go and see the Shaku Shaku that lead to the goal
3) The 3-0 was Spain's easiest match when they didn't score until close to 60 minutes, a semi-final at that?
And you started your post so strongly with a strong accusation that would have thrown me off balance if not because of my strong faith. May God save us from Ibime.
You are a liar because you said Iniesta outproduced Xavi in 2008 by cleverly leaving out Xavi assists.
Now I know you are a Google analyst as well with no actual experience of watching the tournament, just googling nonsense to tell me Xavi only had one assist
Xavi had 2 assists. In the final against Germany and in the first round against Russia.
Mr Google analyst, can you watch min 7:30 of this video and tell me who assisted Fabregas goal against Russia?
homesteady: I remember Ibime once said Iniesta won Euro 2012 best player because of the emotions he caused by scoring the goal that won Spain the world cup. Ibime, I hope you are laughing at this ridiculous nonsense you said?
Why else would a nigga dancing shakushaku on touchline with no contribution win, when his teammates like Xavi were the ones winning games. Your bros Debroslink said I should check Whoscored to validate Messi's WC2014 Golden ball, but the same Whoscored put Iniesta as the worst performing Spanish regular in 2012. I wonder if na LindaIkeji.com that validated Iniesta as player of that tournament.
homesteady: During Euro 2008, Xavi had just one goal, while Iniesta had 2 assists, you know who won the tournament best player right? So why are you now wailing that Iniesta won it with less output in 2012?
Sharrap you liar. Xavi had more output than Iniesta in 2008 and every other tournament they won. So you counted Iniesta assists, but didn't count Xavis? I've never seen a more dishonest twisting of history. Xavi had 2 assists and 1 goal, Iniesta had 2 dead-rubber assists
Xavi assisted the only goal in the final plus scored in the semi and assisted in the group stage
Iniesta only impact was an assist in the 3-0 whitewash of Russia which was Spain's easiest game, plus an assist in the group stage
raumdeuter: So you are in agreement that Drogba was a woeful striker even below Lukaku in EPL since he was producing miserable numbers like the above not the excuse of age or injuries
That was who Drogba was 11 goals a season striker
Morata has 5 goals by half season everyone dey shout for am, the same numbers Drogba posted in full seasons not once not twice
You are just typing this to console yourself. Drogba stats till age of 32 are much better than Lukakus and when we add assists, totally shït on Lukaku. Drogba is greater than Lukaku, but Lukaku still has many years to change that.
airmark: Lie, from the pit of hell. You argue on fallacious foundation, that's why you always sound stupid.
Despite your distortion of facts, you would have made sense, if you didn't add the seasons Drogba played when he was battling with fitness, after recurring ligament injuries and also when he was 33 and 34.
Let big Rom score 37 goals in a season first, then we can talk.
Forget age 33 and 34, Drogba came back to Chelsea to do a yeomans job for one season at age of nearly 37. He played 28 games, mostly as sub and scored only 4 goals. Apari still counted that one.
Apari sports journalists are so shameless and dishonest. I'm so ashamed.
Melvyn11: Context like 24% of lampard epl goals where penalty. Am sure iniesta would have also loved to boost his stats with pen like lampard did lol.
Even if this stat is correct, which I highly doubt, remove 24% of Lampard goals, let us see if the difference is still not as wide as Dangote vs E-Money.
Melvyn11: How can you destroy a fact I don't follow. Does lukaku not have more goals than drogba in less games in the epl? Thats the only fact we are interested in. You didn't add context when it came to iniesta and lampard but you want to add context to drogba and lukaku yeye
What's the context of an attacking midfielder that has half the assists of Lampard and 1/6th the goals. A Barca AMF that has lower goal return than John Terry and Sergio Ramos.
Debroslink: Why not show us Xavi in Euro 2004, World Cup 2006 stats
Is it Iniesta that entered Xavis mind like Dr Xavier and made him make all those assists in 2008, 2010 and 2012?
It's bad enough they had to carry him along by scoring and assisting where he failed to do so, now you want them to carry him along by even crediting their assists to him.
Xavi cook soup, Iniesta want chop. If Iniesta can control peoples mind to make them make sumptuous assists, why can't he make assists himself?
larride: 4. What was Iniesta contributions to Euro 2008, World Cup 2010 and Euro 2012 Spain’s win? Bring out the stats to back up your claims.
Xavi:
7 goals and assists in Spain knockout matches including 3 assists in finals.
2008 Euro final vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist, 2012 Euro final vs Italy 4-0, 2 xavi assists, 2010 WC semi vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist, 2010 WC QF vs portugal 1-0 xavi assist. 2010 WC 2nd rounnd vs Paraguay, 1-0, xavi assist
Iniesta:
Assist against Russia in 3-0 win and 1 World Cup final goal after being carried along all tournament with no contribution.
That's it.
larride: Xavi had everything more than Iniesta, more passes, more goals and assists, more key passes per game, more chances created than Iniesta, so I ask again, what exactly is Iniesta doing or what is he complimenting? It’s better you concentrate your arguement on other shaku shaku AMF like Iniesta and stop comparing him with a midfield god like Xavi
