Rakitic has goals, iniesta?

Iniesta scores classic goals and assists in classic matches.

Lampard?

Give me a guy who can guarantee me goals and assists in UCL finals and world cup finals, and I'll say he's better than a player who can't lift his nation in 10 years and has to rely on an old Drogba to give him a UCL medal.

That's the difference between a good and a great player.

JigsawKillah:



Since he isn't getting goals, he should be getting assists but I can't see them

WHen Iniesta was in his peak between 08 and 14 he was copping double digit assists every season

Nonsense! When has Iniesta ever guaranteed something called goals and assists?

Iniesta playing with old Drogba will get knocked out in 2nd round.

If Iniesta dare play for Chelsea, Chelsea will not even be competing in latter stages of UCL semis and finals like Lampard carried Chelsea to.

In 2014, with no Suarez and Messi slightly below par, what did Iniesta contribute to prevent Barca going trophyless? Soon as the burden fell on Iniesta to produce something in the absence of the forwards, he contributed zero goals and zero assists.

Don't compare someone who gets carried along to a difference maker.

Lampard scored in 2008 UCL final. That is someone who guarantees goals in finals, not Iniesta who has been to numerous finals and never scored.

He scored 3 goals in UCL semi 2008.

He scored 3 goals to knock out Bayern in UCL QF 2005.

He assisted in 2012 UCL semi final to knock out Barca at Camp Nou.

Dont mention Iniesta and Lampard in the same sentence when it comes to goals and assists.

While Lampard is consistently putting his inferior team into semifinals and finals every year with multitude of goals and assists, Iniesta is busy living off his Mario Gotze/ Lars Ricken moment in 2010 against a flagging 10 man Holland team.

Lampard playing for a team like Barca would have 3-4 goals in UCL finals alone by now.

Abeg.......if you are productive,you are productive........
James has BBC ahead of him and he still scores and give assists
Who are the goal scorers ahead of iniesta in the NT,why isn't he scoring for fun??

Terry has the entire Chelsea 11 ahead of him and he doesn't need to score,yet he is still more productive than Iniesta....

If he has goal scorers ahead of him who don't need him to score but just supply them,tell us why he is still very low in assists...Abi they don't need him to assist them? If so what his job then??

Lampard play with peak Anelka,Drogba and Malouda,and he still scored or assisted well over 40goals....
Imagine if he played behind MSN or Henry-Eto-Messi......


Saying Iniesta doesn't need to score is a big bullshit, goals are always welcomed from anywhere anytime especially when you are playing in a team that wraps up 45% of their games in the first half..... And yet iniesta never contributed to 20 goals in any season....



Put Mata in Iniesta's place and watch the gates of goals and assists open

Was gum pasted on your eyes when Iniesta was delivering double digit assist from 08 to 2014?

08/09 All competitions 16 assists and 5 goals. thats involvement in 21 goals
11/12 All competitions 8 goals 13 assists Thats involvements in 21 goals
12/13 All competitions 21 assists and 6 goals Thats involvement 27 goals

lordfalcao:
Barca has three attacking trio that always gaurantee double digits figures, but it didn't stop ninjas like xavi Dani alves from seeing goal, same cannot be said about Iniesta..

is Iniesta so blind or does he always play with cobwebs in his eyes to go a season without seeing goal or assist while ninjas like Dani alves, xavi ET CO have goals/assist upto 2 and above

For Barcelona
Xavi career total 58 goals 113 assists

Iniesta career total 53goals 128 assists

So what exactly is your point

Xavi is not the attacking midfielder of the two.

Xavi assisted double digits almost every year at his peak from the deep position which is good as gold.

Tell me why a so called attacking midfielder is competing with Sergio Ramos and John Terry for productivity?

Ibime:


Help me ask Sleekdot aka Raumdeuter.

He told us Iniesta is the Ribery of Barca since Bayern already have Muller, Robben and Lewa to score.

At least I know Ribery contributes 20 assists a season when he's fit.

Ribery for most of his career at Bayern played as a left winger. Iniesta for most of his career played as a CM

Huge difference

donjazet:


Fun fact: A BARCELONA MIDFIELDER HASNT SCORED UP TO 15 CAREER GOALS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS!!!!!
I mean a novice in football could say David Silva, mesut ozil, luka modric are all BETTER than him!
[size=24pt]SHOCKING[/size]!!!!

Who were these illiterates you chopped their money?

Last 5yrs means from March 2011

Should we bet $1,000 If I prove has scored more than 15 goals in that time till now?

Deal or No deal?

sleekdot:

Muller plays as an AM and contributes 40-50 goals and assists a season.

You claimed Muller, Robben and Lewa are the 3 scorers and Iniesta is more like Ribery who doesnt need to score because others are scoring.

If Iniesta can't do what Muller does in his fellow CAM position, tell us why he doesn't do what Ribery does going by your submission.

If he is not Muller and he is not Ribery, who is he? Javi Martinez?

Ibime:
A productive attacking midfielder after 365 days of football:

Yet they still found way to put him in FIFPRO11 with no goals, no assists and no trophies. . . . the same lazy people that put David Luiz in FIFPRO11 after chopping 7 goals at Maracana.

Never has a player had to do so little to be lauded as Iniesta.

Which 365 days time frame did Iniesta not make a goal and an assist in all comeptition for Barcelona

Lets do some fact checking and not just spouting some half truths

If he is not Muller and he is not Ribery, who is he? Javi Martinez?

First Ribery, Robben Muller and Lewandoski have hardly played together

Ribery plays as a Left winger and Iniesta plays in Central midfield

Secondly. Barcelona have 3 scorers who score more volumes than Muller Robben and Lewandoski would ever put up

From Iniesta center midfield he produced 127 assists without taking dead balls

Must you stoop so low to defend an AM of Iniestas calibre.

Iniesta went over 365 days in the league with zero goals and zero assists!!!

Is that not already shameful enough for someone of that stature . . . yet you feel the need to argue he may have got one or two assists in Copa Del Rey to hide his shame. What desperation!

Nigga stop lying!

I only know one CM at Barca and that is Xavi.

I also know one AM and that is Iniesta.

Classify it how you wish, if you like call him left-back. He is the attacking one of a 3 man midfield just like Lampard.

Or is this not what one Barcalite posted to show Iniestas success?

WHo are the 3 scorers that Lampard played with while in his Chelsea days start from when you started seeing Lampard in CHelsea till he left the AM/CM role

Iniesta played with Dinho-Etoo-Guily and the others I listed till MSN

Name the 3 scorers Lampard played behind in Chelsea

Lets start the analysis if you have time.

Iniesta played more as the CM in Barca

Compile all your argument I would be back

Stop posting old pictures thats been discredited.

I hate going over old shyte with you.

By force you want to make us believe that Iniesta is a defensive player. Desperation!

Ludovic Guily and Pedro are strikers in Barca just because of Iniesta.

Anelka and Kalou are wingers at Chelsea but would be strikers at Barca. . . just because of Iniesta.

What does the number of goals scored by Barca front 3 have to even do with the fact that Iniesta is an AM? When Ancelotti brought ultra-attack and DD scored 33 goals, and Anelka and Malouda scored close to 20 each. . . did Lampard say he wiuld stop contributing because the front 3 are scoring? No. . . he simply contributed 47 goals+assists himself.

Imagine even comparing output of a Barca attacking midfielder that camps in opponent half to Lampard who plays in his own half and scores and assists mostly on counterattacks.

I know it's paining you but I did not call Iniesta attacking midfielder. His own league did. Suck it up and GTFOH.


Iniesta: La Liga's Best Attacking Midfielder: 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013,2014

When Fabregas went to Barca, did he go there and claim Barca already have 3 scorers so he will not score or assist?

No! He simply went there and scored 15, 14 and 13 goals in consecutive seasons with 12 assists or more per season.

Yet one clown is trying to convince us Iniesta is a defensive midfielder. Are Xavi and Busquets carrying water behind him? GTFOH!

Lampard was the main dead ball shooter for Chelsea

How many seasons out of the 15 Lampard spent in Chelea did he have 3 prolific strikers in front of him like Iniesta had for most of his career

How did you discredit it when Its known that Iniesta played most of his time as a CM in Barcelona with Xavi and Busquets playing as a DM

WHen Fabregas went to Barca he played a lot as one of the front 3. That was when he was even tried as a false 9. where he scored most of his goals for Barcelona

2 DMs and a CM. . . all because Iniesta can't produce.

Even in a team that camp in opponents half all game. Diaris Goduuuooo!!!

From now on any nigga who can't produce with 2 DMs behind him should just claim he is a CM . . . all expectations will be lifted from him.

To protect him from any expectations of producing the goods, Iniesta keeps disappearing deeper into the midfield like Homer Simpson.

Though guys have been talking about league season's assists but in order to play a smart one, you brought 'all competitions' assists to boost iniesta's stats. Let's assume we are f00ls and you succeeded with that trick, what happened to his ''all competitions'' assists in 2009/2010 and 2010/2011 missing in your post? Did iniesta die in those seasons for you not to have listed them? In all competitions in 2009/10 he had 6 assists, 5 in la liga. Also in ''all competitions'' in 2010/2011 he had 9 assists (no double digits as you fraudulently claimed) while in la liga he had just 3 assists in 32 league matches. Ramuzaki next time you post, remember smarter people are watching all your not-so-smart moves.
