pamcode: It was actually confirmation that these are the tough midfield matches that we spoke about Fabregas struggling in, not the Swanseas and Bournemouths who don't put you under physical pressure. Fabregas managed to do in one match what Matic has failed to do all season which is get pressed in midfield into giving the opposition a direct run at our keeper for the West Ham goal. So I say that to say . . . Jersey! 2 Likes

raumdeuter: Of course he knows what he is talking about, that's why he never mentioned Fraud Iniesta and rightly gave credit to the real Barca genius Xavi. Lampard faced Fabregas often as an AM a position in which he is a top top player. 1 Like |

Ibime: Ermmm He just mentioned iniesta as a top 3 midfieler he faced in his career less than 30 minutes ago live on TV. This is not the first time either Only last month, he had this to say ‘Facing Barcelona at the Nou Camp and going up against Xavi and Iniesta,’ replied Lampard when asked who he had been in awe of. ‘Obviously [Lionel] Messi is the best player in the world, but in midfield you’re playing against those two on a massive pitch.’ |

Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 12:31am On Mar 07, 2017 |
Nihilist: Xavi and Iniesta go together as a football cliché like bread and butter. Even 2 year olds who just learned to talk will say Xavi and Iniesta because they've heard the phrase so many times, it is cliché just like Romario and Bebeto, Bonnie and Clyde, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Jaguar and Useni, Zebrudaya and Giringori etc etc. But when he wants to talk properly, he will single out Xavi with no mention of Iniesta. 1 Like |

Ibime: The February quote was actually published in a Chelsea match day programme. And in the Sky Sports studio tonight just not up to 1hr ago , the question was who are the top 3 midfielders you played against: Lanpard: Gerrard, Xavi, Iniesta. He's been consistent about it on TV and even in the official Chelsea publications,so where elsr does he 'talk properly'? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 12:50am On Mar 07, 2017 |
Nihilist: He did not single out Iniesta, he said Xavi and Iniesta were the toughest he played against in Europe because "you could not get the ball off them". Again, this is Iniesta fame by association. Because when Xavi is playing 100 passes and Iniesta is playing 60, the "Xavi & Iniesta" midfield that you can't get the ball off is mostly Xavi. Iniesta just comes along with the package like Paul Bearer with Undertaker, Marty Jannetty with Shaun Michaels, Damien with Jake the Snake, Elizabeth with Macho man, Virgil with Ted DiBiase or 4 by 4 with Hacksaw Jim Duggan. 1 Like |

raumdeuter: This is not about hailing, this is about Lampard telling you he values Gerrard's quality more than scholes . Lampard must have hailed scholes as a good player , but not better than Gerrard in his books. If you still maintain scholes was better than Lampard and Gerrard , there's nothing stopping anyone from throwing Lampard's iniesta pick into the can too. |

airmark: More important players and people than lampard have told you Scholes was greater He is the best midfielder of his generation. I would have loved to have played alongside him.” – Pep Guardiola “In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen – the most complete – is Scholes. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.” – Xavi Hernandez “I tell anyone who asks me – Scholes is the best English player.” – Laurent Blanc “An amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being.” – Roy Keane “The best? Without any doubt it has to be Paul Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is the one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength.” – Thierry Henry “There isn’t a player of his mould anywhere else in the world.” – Glenn Hoddle “If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. He’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.” – Alan Shearer “Scholes is one of the most complete footballers I’ve ever seen. His one-touch play is phenomenal. Whenever I have played against him, I never felt I could get close to him.” – Eidur Gudjohnsen “Every one of us is just trying to become as good as him. Everyone can learn from Paul Scholes. I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is.” – Edgar Davids “He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League.” – Cesc Fabregas “The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy – Scholes.” – Patrick Vieira “I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’.” -Thierry Henry “He’s almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play. You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.” – Zinedine Zidane “Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team – that goes to show how highly I have always rated him.” – Marcello Lippi “Good enough to play for Brazil. I love to watch Scholes, to see him pass, the boy with the red hair and the red shirt.” – Socrates “I’m saddened because I think we as spectators, not only in this country but right through out Europe and the rest of the world, will be missing one hell of a footballer.” – Ray Wilkins “Paul Scholes is my favourite player. He epitomises the spirit of Manchester United and everything that is good about football.” – Sir Bobby Charlton “Without question, I think Paul Scholes is the best player in England. He’s got the best skills, the best brain. No one can match him.” – Sir Alex Ferguson 1 Like |

Nihilist: It's not matter of fool. Lampards IQ is 150. It's a matter of it's not that serious to start separating them because nobody is arguing with him. The whole world has packaged them together as a twosome right from inception, they are a cliché that need no distinction unless you are arguing the nitty gritty of the matter. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Nihilist: 1:19am On Mar 07, 2017 |
Ibime: Of course Lampard is not a fool. And I know he's a member of Mensa. That's why, I'm sure he understands the meaning of tbe simple question - list the top 3 midfielders you played against. The question now is - do you? Lampard rating of Iniesta has never been in doubt. The day Iniesta knocked us out of UCL at the Bridge , Lampard went to collect his shirt. For Lampard to consistently list Iniesta multiple times as one of the 3 top midfielders he's played against, it's clear to me what Lampard is saying. It's just not clear to you. 3 Likes |

Nihilist: That don't mean jack shyt nigga even if you read it whichever way you like. It is players jobs to praise their fellow professionals effusively and fans jobs to criticise holistically. Besides he was asked who the toughest he faced was, not who the greatest is. Mind you, he's played against Zidane once, but when you talk about toughest rivalries, we faced Barca 10 times and Liverpool 6 times in Europe, all in tight games, so of course those were our toughest rivalries. Lampard never faced any other midfielders more than once or twice in Europe. Lampard has never even faced Iniesta without Xavi beside him. Note he put Xavis name first. That is signalling of his heirarchy of both of them. FYI, I'm a Mensa too, and I don't mean chief from Ghana. Go and call Lampard to argue it with me if you think I should value his opinion. Even if he singles out Iniesta away from Xavi (which he has not), it might be as worthless as Zidanes opinion that Gerrard was better than Messi. |
