I have no obsession with Iniesta. I only have obsession with frauds and Iniesta happens to be the most prominent one.

How do you explain the fact that Xavi scored or assisted exactly 50% of Spain's tournament knockout goals, and Iniestas only contribution was being in the right place at the right time vs Holland, and one assist in a whitewash of Russia, yet takes more credit.

I have been stating for the last 5 years that Iniesta had absolutely nothing to do with Barca's famed midfield dominance with his paltry 60 passes per match, and true to word, as soon as Xavi retired, Barca's stifling midfield dominance disappeared like the fart of a leprous witch. They have been blaming it on old age since Iniesta was 30.
I love seeing pained posts like this from shekpe fans... The sheer joy!
Actual pundits, not someone that is only the boss on the Chelsea thread on nairaland, have named him the best midfielder of his era.Easily trumping lampard. Let lampard keep his goals and assists while iniesta keeps his trophies and individual honors that actually matter

Of all Spain attacking midfielders in those tournaments, he made the least passes, least key passes, least assists and least goals.

Hazard is unlucky he wasn't born in Barcelona otherwise there is nothing Iniesta does better than him. The only thing Iniesta does better than most top midfielders is dribbling, and Hazard does it better sef.

Since Xavi retired, they have been blaming old age and Enrique as to why Iniesta cannot continue the famed Barca stifling possession game, but I have been saying for years that stats just do not back up the fact that Iniesta runs possession game, rather he benefits from it. This is a midfielder who struggles to top 60 passes per game, while possession Kings reach 90-100, so he was just a beneficiary all along, not a driver of possession. Just like Seydou Keita never ran possession game, but benefited from who he was playing with. This is now a proven fact.

Wenger played 3-4-3 last night

Conte got Spurs, United, Barca and Three lions to play 3-4-3


He already has a big influence on English football,while Judas is still looking for a way to contribute Positively to the game

Morinho actually introduced the 4-3-3 formation to English football in his first spell as Chelsea manager. Before his arrival in London in 2004, the most adopted formation in the league was the 4-4-2 with 2 traditional wingers.

Roberto Martinez used it at Wigan. Mazarri started this season with 3 at the back at Watford. Koeman played 3 at the back occasionally at Soton last season.

It's not new bruh, trust me.

Why do Chelsea fans act like nobody except Conte ever used 3-4-3?

Def not all Chelsea fans, some are just filled with empty brains and can't see beyond their nose. Imagine someone saying Conte is already influencing English football while Mou is still looking for a way to positively contribute to the beautiful game.

Ask them to defend their words now and you will see them see running around like a rabid dog. Smhs.

we can't compare cos Barca as a team are better than Chelsea over the years so it is expected. Lampard dominated in a team Barca is better than.

The truth is any di.ck and Harry can win so many trophies while at Barca. Spot the difference.

You love pulling my legs on this issue, don't you? grin grin

Let me state categorically that I have no affection left whatsoever for the man. As a rival, I have always disliked/hated man united and I now see JM in that light. What I wouldn't do anyways is to criticize him in any form because I defended his ilks and misdemeanors voraciously not soo long ago.
The Don is here now, let's see how his project pans out.

Meanwhile, una L this night dey do better press up. We're coming to wine and dine at your thread today.. grin grin

I get your point. cheesy I remember vividly when van gaal wanted to try the 3-at-the-back formation at Man-United, it backfired spectacularly and everyone kept saying and believing that it couldn't work in England.

Conte should be appraised immensely for re-introducing and setting the current trend, there is no doubt that the formation is now so popular and generally accepted because of Chelsea's tremendous success and re-invigoration with it and that is much to the Don's credit.

With Andrés Iniesta,it isn't about what he does. It is about what he transmits.

He elevates the game to something more and embodies everything pure about football. With grace and characteristic shrug.

Such eloquent write up over iniesta like you were trying to win the heart of a lady grin For you to explain iniestas contribution you turned into a poet grin

If I ask you to give me the contributions of Messi, Xavi, Ronaldo,ronaldinho, Ronaldo de Lima, zidane, puyol, Casillas, Gigi buffon,neymar etc will you just come with poetic words without anything visible to show about their contributions to the game?


Rflmao......Omo! ibime na better craze man for exposing iniesta the transmitter who elevates the game of football to something more,an embodiment of everything pure about football with grace and characteristic shrug as hidden iniesther da eunuch.
