Debroslink:



But he shines brightest when the ovation is loudest. I mean, point to any player, past or present who has provided assists in 3 different UCL final matches apart from Iniesta.

Fine he glittered in the past.
But you don't say a midfielder is shinning when he has no goal or assist to his boots, right?

PS
I have nothing against the baldy. He is the only sane person in that club. But not having his old playmates (Xavi,Alves,Valdez,Puyol,Dinho,Eto'o etc)around him again has affected his performance.

So those two sweet assists vs Barca never brought trophies to Chelsea in 2012?

Is it ZERO goals and ZERO assists in one calendar year that will bring trophies to Chelsea?

You think any major club in Europe will stomach their key attacking midfielder going one full year with ZERO goals and ZERO assists? Thank God for MSN.

*sighs*

Where do I start from?

When did goals and assists become the only thing about football?
Have the Squawkas and WhoScored of this world blinded us to the extent that football is now about just goals and assists?

Do you think we Barcelona fans do not see Iniesta's stat?
Do we complain about it?
No.
Why?
Because we know there is more to his game than scoring goals or giving assists.

Currently,for Barcelona's midfield to function properly..It needs a 33year old Iniesta to be fully fit.

The MSN you are thanking God for requires Iniesta to function properly.

Iniesta just recently came back from injury,and during his absence Barcelona played their worst football this season,with our midfield getting exposed left,right and centre,plus a stüpid coach who could not fix it.

Now he is back and Barcelona is also back,our players who were out of form,Busquets especially,are also now playing well.
Because Iniesta has returned with his associative play.

I'm 100% sure you watch Iniesta at least once or twice a season,then when it's time for you to begin your hate on him,you go to WhoScored to check his goals and assists tally but ignoring the football he played.

Do you think ZERO GOALS and ZERO ASSISTS can win anything for a club like Chelsea? Is it Salomon Kalou and Malouda that will provide them?

It is only in Barca you type this kind of rubbish, because you have the luxury of doing so.

But you guys are quick to use stats when comparing Neymar to Hazard, even when hazard is deployed as LMF/winger in 4-2-3-1 formation with a RB playing as LB behind him compare to Neymar who play as LWF/Striker in 4-3-3 formation with a natural LB behind him and Messi the creator giving him two yards goals that season.
Double standard men.

These are the comments you make when you have no contribution to make.

For your info, I started supporting Barcelona when a certain Nigerian winger was bought in the mid 90s. And my support increased greatly when my arch rival team won 3 UCL titles in 5 years in late 90s and early 2000s.

All these events happened before Ronaldinho came to Europe.

It's football,What works for A might not work for B.

You get the kind of players that suit your team.
You want a Lampard type of midfielder you get him.
You want an Iniesta type you get him.
You want a Modric type you get him.

There are different profiles for midfielders...and midfielders like Iniesta who do not have the kind of stats that makes you want your team to drop 50million on their head in the summer are not your type..I get it.

But to constantly berate him to make it seem like he does nothing on the pitch with Zero goals and Zero assists is quite insulting.

That's the beauty of MSN. Before MSN, Iniesta provided up to 15 to 20 assists per season. When MSN came, your job is to maintain possession in midfield and allow MSN to finish things up upfront.

However, when things become complex such as UCL finals or El Clasico, Iniesta takes the mantle as the Lord of creativity.

We were here when Iniesta was begging Guardiola to teach him how to score goals and make assists.

It's not due to any megedefegede, it's simply down to the fact that he no fit.

Iniesta provide wetin?

Even then, his assist ratio was not phucking with Dani Alves, much less Lampard.

As a coach, when you see the UCL trophy or world cup trophy in front of you in 'winner takes it all' match, who would you have in your midfield to supply the assist?

Iniesta or Lampard

Osama bin laden was also a peace-loving man.

Great. Now he compares me with Osama.

Contrary to your held beliefs, I'm stalwart in my advocacy for peace. People just keep pushing back the boundaries of my patience, then paint a villainy portrait of me when I decide to rebut.

Even Jesus, the son of GOD, while on earth, had a tolerance threshold for fückery. See how he lashed out at the traders who defiled the temple with their baldfaced cozenage and money-grubbing schemes intended to defraud the poor.

The other names were there.
Now that the gang is dying out his own performance /contributionsisnaleo panning out.

He has maybe 2 more seasons till he leaves Barca I guess leaving only Messi Bisquit and Shakira from the old guard.

You guys here are funny sha, still arguing with Ibime on this same old topic?
Ibime once claimed Iniesta was the best in the world and even declared him better than his Lord Lampard.

Years later, he changed his mind as he's become older and and well rounded. Since he'll still be getting better as he grows older, there's a high tendency that he'll still change his mind on some certain issues. And as such, don't be surprised when he looks back, check what exactly the goals and assists of Lampard helped his country achieve and couldn't get one despite the array of stars he played with, checks for his contributions in the major finals he's played and couldn't find any convincing one, he might finally declare him a fraud.

Ibime:

Dude, stop insulting yourself.
It is very foolish and moronic of you to ridicule Iniesta for whatever reason.
I guess feeling like a local champion in Nairaland Rap section is affecting your head!

You are more of a peace-loving osama than our lord, Jesus christ. You attested to the fight against fraudsters by christ in the emboldened above. Let's do a rewind real quick. You did the direct opposite here on nairaland, when coogar was confirmed to have defrauded his girlfriend in a popular credit card scam that rocked this forum last year. You attacked me and everyone that fought and asked coogar to pay for his fraudulence. It beats my imagination seeing you now, comparing yourself to Jesus christ. I dont think you will want me to bring your past posts.

It's getting hot in here!

I'm sweating already.
