Godstraight:
it means just this season then why are folks here shouting that matic has a better passing ratio?,like it is a comparative study of their careers
Because lokaku has scored more goals in EPL this season than aguero does it make a better scorer that kun in the EPL?@ibime

The reason we highlighted his passing stats in relation to Matic is cos some niggas told us he doesn't have to score or assist, that the Barca system only requires him to recycle possession, not do what other AMs are expected to do.

So we said if his only job is recycling possession, why is he doing it worse than Matic this season.

Passes per game is a 90 minute metric. Lukaku does not outperform Aguero on 90 minute metric of goals per game.

I hope I don't see Gomes on the pitch today

Why should goals scored be allowed when we are comparing two different leagues ?
The only reason why spurs may seem close is the distance between una
Money and the achievement that comes with it is all that we should judge by. Spurs can't hope to touch you on both those issues there have been times nobody in the league can match your spending is it the penny pinching spurs that is close ?

The same way some LA liga player don shine pass most of Barcelona except maybe for the Goat doesn't prove anything.
If you can put team achievement aside to see Lampard is a better player than Modric,you can maybe Try the same for Iniesta.

Yet the same Modric is better than Iniesta when teams are equalised.

If I put team achievement aside, Iniesta will be nothing more than a disgraceful AM with less goals than John Terry and less assists than Dani Alves. It is only team achievement that remotely qualifies him to be mentioned in same sentence as a boss like Lampard who has combined 500 goals and assists.

And Spurs is closer to Chelsea than Chelsea is to Barca whether you like it or not. Ordinarily you cannot compare and Chelsea forwards in history to Barca forwards. But people like Gareth Bale would swipe aside Joe Cole, Malouda and Kalou, the wingers that Chelsea carried for 10 years.

Ibime:


This is the education we provide. According to your definition, big game might only be finals. I posted here gifs of 7 goals and assists Lampard has made against Barcelona alone in UCL. Is that not big game?

Meanwhile all Iniesta needed to do to get to final was score 1 goal against Chelsea and you will say he is performing in big game.

Lampard 7 contributions against Barca but without the additional efforts of team mates to help him get to final, you will claim he has not contributed.

Iniesta 1 contribution against Chelsea and he is in final because others were there to help him get there. You will claim he has contributed.

Iniesta should come and play with Joe Cole, Malouda and Kalou, lets see whether he will make it past 2nd round in any tournament.

Same with Spain. 3 tournaments were won and Iniesta is remembered for being in the right place at right time against Holland. Tell me how he would get there with ZERO assists in knockout stage at any of those tournaments.

This is how he got there from Xavi winning games to get him there:

2008 final vs Germany Xavi assist, 2012 final vs Italy, 2 Xavi assists, WC semi vs Germany 1-0, Xavi assist, Paraguay 2nd round, 1-0 Xavi assist, QF vs Portugal 1-0 Xavi assist.

Show me one from Iniesta.

So to repeat myself, Lampard has made so many differences in big games that Iniesta cannot smell.

Lampards big-game-only goals and assists is more than Iniestas whole career total.

The same reason Modric big game performances is being noticed now is that he has the right support cast to put him in the big games. It is the same Modric who is Lampards boy in EPL. Lampard never had the support cast of Iniesta but still took his team places, obviously not the same places as a team like Barca.

No big game isn't only final it isn't even about the goals.
One man win MotM honours in a European Final,a World Cup final and UCL and who knows how many in important league game with big consequence ?
I should add the 06 UCl cause he change that game.

All I read is Iniesta being criticised for the nation he represent and the club he plays for,things out of his control,Lampard isn't some hidden Gem toiling away from the spotlight we see him all the time.
Also the kalou,j.cole that you are putting down now,were some of the finest player available that could be purchased at the time.
There are many factors that lead to Xavi making that assist and it isn't like iniesta was a total passenger in those game you mention. Probably made ToTM.
These argument is similar to those that say Messi joined an EPL team to show his the Goat. Wetin be that.
If Lampard never left West Ham for Chelsea na only intertoto cup he for get now.

Kudos to SIRcumalot, Godstraight, Raumdeuter, Randomperson, Unnepaa for a job well done.

3 of these guys are not fans or supporters of the club, yet they see and know the truth from afar.

Chase these SHEKPITIES back to their thread.

Do you really think Iniesta was MOTM in any of those finals except WC final where you would give it to him for the golden goal?

Bruh! Be serious, Messi was better than him in all Barca finals, all that one is just sharing some award among the lesser men and for those kind of fans that like to go to stadium and shout olê for dribbles.

Euro-final, they told me he got MOTM award for dribbling but I didn't see any decisive contribution from him to win the match. Xavi provided 2 assists and the telling contributions to win the match, Iniesta was just dribbling for the people that like to shout olê.

Sebod my guy... I just dey read comments dey laugh.

It is hard to Believe but Messi can't be the best everyday.
Make I just ask this one last thing.
That Time you said Iniesta was the best midfielder of all time (if am remembering correctly) wetin change.

Barça line-up vs Atletico: Ter Stegen, Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Mathieu, Iniesta, Busquets, Rafinha, Messi, Suarez, Neymar

3 at the back?

That time is 2009 when he just came to world prominence and relates to that moment in time. You can't be serving 3 goals, 5 assists per season and 60 passes per game 8 years later and expect me to still rate you. I have studied him and Xavis game inside out over the years and sorted the wheat from the chaff.

I swear to God if this is a 3-4-3.


No Enrique slander again.

At least, no Gomes.

Mathieu for left back

Sebod my guy... I just dey read comments dey laugh.

You no go laugh reach me. After all, I better pass you stat-wise.

This coach is Idiot while playing Matthew Left back in such serious game?

sebod:
You no go laugh reach me. After all, I better pass you stat-wise.

Lwtmb... Nothing person no go see on NL. Chai!

Another big L for this useless, godforsaken team will do a lot of good.

All these merry go round should stop. If someone beats you in both team n individual achievement, you should take a bow, Lampard isn't even the finest English midfielder of the past decade, Scholes was!

It's Time

Lahoz

Mathieu for left back

lol

Make greizman show himself today o.

These cuunts better take their chances....2 missed chances already.

And these guys played just on tuesday night o.

Rafihna is looking overwhelmed by d Occasion Only Neymar dey get Sense really
