Don't ever forget this gif. We won UCL with this.

Same year someone said Iniesta went a whole year without assist.

how many assist did he get that season

airmark:


Where's bykebyke abi na bykelabyke?

These Barca fans are pathetic.

In other news, Neymar has turned to a beggar. This guy is a shameless glory hunter. Now that he knows Mbappe has more years ahead to outshine him at PSG, he wants to go back to Barca, knowing that Messi has fewer years to shine. The mumu should come to epl, if he is tougher than Hazard.

Lmaooo,when you go change?

Haba bros. We get eyes and we the watch ball oh. Forget statistics abeg. Iniesta is the better player.


Is a shame that Iniesta didn't get to win the Ballon D'or.

the better player

instead of lampard retiring man city got him playing for them at about 36 or so

Of course, let's put cups aside... Which of them has more INDIVIDUAL awards?

using award's metrics
Hazard went head 2 head wt Neymar in the just concluded Worldcup and hazard was the 2nd best in the tournament even with an award 2 show for it....can we conveniently say that hazard is better than Neymar? ?

Greatihex:
The result is that Fabregas will be remembered as more of a Premier League legend than a legend of any one club. Perhaps that is the way it should be for a player who has provided so much entertainment for the neutrals in his 350 appearances in the competition.His own assessment of his assist record sums it up well. "I'm not the fastest, I'm not the strongest, I'm not the most flexible and I don't jump high," he explained. "But to achieve this record in my career is one of the proudest things in my job, because it is my job and I did it well."Of that there can be no argument.

raumdeuter, with this, can we say that fabregas is one of the greatest midfielders ever?

barca fans will tell u it's a lie, that iniesta was better than fabregas

madrid5:

He went full league year with no goal and no assist.

This is no different from someone posting Robert Snodgrass gif of the one good goal he scored this season, whereas his mates can produce 40 incidents where they won games.

Iniestas marketing method is to chill, let others do all the work, then produce one highlight per season for his fanboys to be promoting.

As you said, his unproductivity for an attacking midfielder can only be tolerated in Barcelona.

randomperson:


Modric was lampard's junior in EPL because he was playing for an inferior team... Modric won world cup golden ball for Croatia, something Lampard couldn't dream off...

Yes, modric was lucky to win that ballon d'or because frankly, Messi and Ronaldo were not at their best this year...

Lampard played in an era when cannavaro won world best, iniesta played in the messi-ronaldo era

Till tomorrow, acclaimed pundits, managers and footballers- both active and retired still lament that iniesta never won d ballon d or. But nobody expresses that sentiment in relation to Lampard.... because he is simply not that good

the pundits lament I know of is of Xavi oh, maybe iniesta that one time, that one year but even that year 2010 sneider desired it more than him

airmark:


You must be out of your mind, to be saying that now. So Neymar didn't know that, when he was offered to sign for PSG? He wasn't with his brain when he was asked why he wanted to leave Barca.

So Ronaldo should be begging Madrid now, cos serie a, haven't won ucl in 6yrs. You barcabots are ridiculous.

Neymar went to PSG for d money...

If Neymar wants an easy league, he would stay put in France. So your point even lacks logic

Ibime:


In other words, Iniesta was a carryalong while Lampard was a carrier.

Don't compare drummer boy who dance behind Masquerade to the Masquerade please.

Even as a left winger tasked with making the difference, he was still a drummer boy that couldn't provide the winning impetus.

the rare and irreplaceable lampard, their are few midfielders like him that ever lived

airmark:
Ronaldinho should be called Ibime, henceforth. Just as Rivaldo should be called airmark, for saying Hazard would perform better in laliga, cos it's not as strong as epl.

This is Poch on Hazard.

No... iniesta played the role his team needed him to play...

Teams were seating back to defend against barca and barca needed a person who could hold the ball under pressure against two or more opposing midfielders and creating more space for d attackers...

That's what iniesta did for barca and Spain and it got him a legacy substantially superior to that of Lampard

if iniesta can be respected for just that, then Hazard should be revered as a god n not disrespected by some self absorbed f.o.ools cus Hazard does that and more for Chelsea.

Why are you using only the last world cup? Neymar has made ballon d or podium, hazard has not. Neymar has been UCL highest goal scorer before.. hazard is suffering from allergy to UCL goals

Ibime:


That must be the same way teams are sitting back against Chelsea today, and Kovacic will be holding the ball like Iniesta dribbling upandan without making incisive puncture in the opposition defence. Iniesta is no different from Kovacic. He should have statue of Messi, Villa and Eto in his house and pray to them everyday. Kovacic unfortunately can only do the exact same thing Iniesta does and hope on Willian to provide the difference.

lol... but Kovacic defends also

Hazard is an attacker, iniesta is a midfielder... not to even mention that iniesta is a better passer than hazard

Xavi and iniesta have become cooking ingredients.

I guess now we have the soup to eat all the amala with

Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but the Holy spirit.

Actually iniesta and Silva don't play d same roles.. Silva plays behind Sane who hugs d touch line, affording Silva d space and opportunity to make runs inside d box on a constant basis...

Iniesta on the other hand played behind natural goalscorers like Henry and Villa who make more runs into the box to score compared to Sane who's major role is to stretch d play

You are now talking about tactics and player style of play. The question is why can’t you guys make same excuse for Hazard?

Unproductive in numerous UEFA finals is a bigger disgrace than league runs.

Show us Lampard's highlights in any 5 European finals that resulted in goals that gave Chelsea the title. Dude was in Drogba's shadow.

Neymar went for only money and not to be under Messi's shadow again, right? You think you are conversing with your fellow barcabot.

You are the one who gave senseless reasons, why he should be begging barca. Because a league haven't won ucl in 6yrs, means they won't win it one day?

Also i said Neymar's reason for dumping Barca, is the same reason he wants to leave PSG now. So i don't know where you drawed my 'easy league' logic from.

randomperson:


Well, by virtue of their INDIVIDUAL awards alone, iniesta is greater than lampard. Let's not even get started on their trophies.

His individual award recognition still boils down to the team he played for, the much success the team get the chances of the players getting recognition in an award ceremony.

Na wa o. It's only on nairaland that legends will be called frauds and carry alongs

BlueAngel444:

Barcelona once had a midfielder who scored like Lampard. However he won Ballon d'or without winning UCL.

Lampard was a wannabe in UEFA finals.

Stats are important but they are not the ultimate in judging a player... You have to consider every metric...

And when you consider every metric... Iniesta is superior to Lampard

which one be every metric

excuse me

Lampard scores free kicks, creates chances more than iniesta and had a far better range of passing than iniesta.

Hazard has been the second most attacking player in Chelsea for years... he has no excuse...

Hazard's an effective dribbler but as an attacker he needs to add to his game

pls what is the total number of champions league goals that hazard has scored

I brought Hazard vs Neymar's challenge 2 counter ur statement about awards and so but u went back 2 stats ...iniesta is being defended 4 organising the midfield with minimal output (disregarding Lampard outputs even 4m d midfields) but hazard is being criticised 4 low output even wen he is being recognised by football governing body. ...
