What's Iniesta under Guardiola below?

So you are in agreement that Drogba was a woeful striker even below Lukaku in EPL since he was producing miserable numbers like the above not the excuse of age or injuries

That was who Drogba was
11 goals a season striker

Morata has 5 goals by half season everyone dey shout for am, the same numbers Drogba posted in full seasons not once not twice

You are just typing this to console yourself. Drogba stats till age of 32 are much better than Lukakus and when we add assists, totally shït on Lukaku. Drogba is greater than Lukaku, but Lukaku still has many years to change that.

You claimed age was Drogbas problem, we checked Drogba goals record under 30 and we still found he was averaging 11 goals per season

He had 2 single digits league goal season under 30. Lukaku never had 1

I asked you simple question based on Guardiola's system, involving Silva and Iniesta, you were showing me stories.

Pep saying Iniesta taught him different thing about CM role, is even confirming that Ibime was right that Iniesta wasn't playing it the right way. Silva is doing it rightly now, it seems.

Under 30, did you consider those seasons he was battling with fitness, due to injuries, in your summation?

Apari, remove those seasons he was barely playing with a walking stick on the pitch. Oponu.

In Drogbas 9 seasons tell us how many seasons he was injured so we can verify

Striker averaging 11 goals in 9 seasons playing for Chelsea and una get mouth to abuse Morata who had 11 goals

Ikputu apoda

I have no business with Lampard and Iniesta comparison but you saying Iniesta made Xavi is a statement that should get you a place in Hague.

2006 UCL
Iniesta: 0 goal 0 assist
Xavi: 0 goal 0 assist

2009 UCL
Iniesta: 0 goal 1 assist
Xavi: 0 goal 1 assist
Xavi was awarded MOTM by UEFA

2011 UCL
Iniesta: 0 goal 0 assist
Xavi: 0 goal 1 assist

2015 UCL
Iniesta: 0 goal 1 assist
Xavi: 0 goal 0 assist (played just 18mins or thereabouts)

Euro 2008
Iniesta: 0 goal 1 assist
Xavi: 1 goal 3 assist
Xavi named UEFA Player of the tournament

Euro 2012
Iniesta: 0 goal 1 assist
Iniesta named UEFA Player of the tournament
Xavi: 0 goal 4 assist.

Who is the shaku shaku dancer? Who carried who?

I'm not comparing Xavi with Iniesta. Xavi played from 1999-2015.

Why are you all listing his stats from 2008-2015? What happened between 1999-2007? Almost 10 years period. He went to WC 2002 and 2006. He also played Euro 2004 not to talk of UCL from 2000-2008.

In conclusion, all the 2008-2015 stats up there shows that Iniesta made Xavi thick and hot. Iniesta made the whole world recognize and appreciate Xavi's effort.

You are not comparing Xavi with Iniesta so what were you doing when you made the statement “Iniesta made Xavi?”

Xavi started playing in 1998 and he won the league in 1998/1999, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006.

How did Iniesta made Xavi thick and hot? Is he the one that implemented tiki taka?

Without Xavi at the center there’s no tiki taka, the system is all about Xavi, he’s the one that keeps it moving, he’s at the center of the whole thing, what exactly is Iniesta role or job when Xavi is outscoring and out-assisting him from the central position whereby Iniesta plays closer to the goal than Xavi.

I repeat, leave Xavi out of your discussion, you can continue your merry-go-round with Iniesta and his shaku shaku mentee like Hazard. Leave the midfield maestro out of it.

Gennaro Gattuso appeared to concede defeat in his battle to keep Gonzalo Higuain at AC Milan.
The Argentine has been linked with an exit from the San Siro with Chelsea linked.
“When a player makes decisions, then it’s also difficult to convince him,” Gattuso said.
“You try. Right now, he’s a Milan player and we hold onto him tightly. I don’t know what will happen, we tell each other things face to face and I want this attitude from him.”

so where is the Higuain na

Maurizio Sarri has demanded a replacement for Jorginho after the midfielder “struggled” in the win against Newcastle.
“As you have seen Jorginho was in trouble, but I didn’t have a player for that position,” said Sarri.
“I have no idea [when it will get sorted]. The club knows very well my opinion. I need a player there. It depends on the club decision. I cannot do anything more.”

Callum Hudson-Odoi, 18, wants the Blues to let him leave the club this week with Bayern Munich set to seal his signature.

Bayern Munich are set to ask Chelsea about taking wantaway striker Alvaro Morata on loan for the rest of the season.


U know I have never regretted Costa leaving, just our inability to adequately replace him.

Bayern Munich’s negotiations with Chelsea over a potential deal for Callum Hudson-Odoi are reportedly being complicated by the Premier League side’s insistence that a buy-back clause be inserted, with the German champions reluctant to agree to the clause.

Although Xavi was a midfield regular, 2004-06 will always be remembered as the era of Ronaldinho's power. The man many believed destroyed the galaticos.

2008-12 is Xaviesta era. Up till 2015,while Xavi waned, Iniesta kept delivering in UEFA final. We in Barcelona will never underrate the greatness of Iniesta especially in UEFA finals. That's the stuff of legends. Delivering MOTM final classics should NEVER be regarded as shakushaku.

The day Hazard delivers in UEFA final unlike Lampard is the day he's delivered from Shakushaku despite his poor output.

double standard is when barca fans use one stick to flog hazard and refuse to use it to flog Iniesta.

Bro stop this nonsense, If you want to troll Iniesta, troll him and nobody will beat you. Own your opinion. But saying Barca fans is using double standard for Hazard is a nonsense fact. I'm a barca fan and I have never criticised hazard ever in my life and as a matter of fact, MAJORITY of the barca fanbase don't sly him either. You are just raising dust where there is none. MAN U/EPL criticize him far more than we do. Barca fans troll the likes of Isco, Asensio and Ramos than Hazard that has just played 2 official games against barca in his entire career. So if you wanna troll Iniesta troll him in peace without involving barca fans.

Ibime:


It is a different league with a different style of play and played against different opponents. In Spain for example, they have more passes, run less kilometres and convert less set pieces. Also, they do not fulfill the same role, unlike Lamps and Gerrard.

If we do judge them, we would judge them within constraints, but the judgement would be more qualitative than quantitative.

Iniesta's passing stats are infinitely better than Lamps because Barca take more touches than Chelsea. Have you checked Iniestas successful dribbles stats in comparison to Lampard?

If I say Lamps is a better scorer than Iniesta, am I wrong?

Stats tell me Iniesta is a better passer and better dribbler. Lampard is a better scorer. . . . .now I can make a judgement on who is better overall and say Iniesta is better overall.

Using this your premise, what has changed since then? ..A) You became more matured B) You started watching back of television C) You went into a coma and lost your memory D) All of the above

Has he or any Chelsea fan ever argued Hazard is better than Messi? He is likened to Messi n cr7, talent wise by top coaches and pundits, and u n ur comrade are saying something else. Foolishness Na disease.

Its been Nine seasons since someone reached double digits in premier league goals and assists as fast as Eden Hazard.
