Lanterne Rouge Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 2 hours ago, Welcome To The Jungle said: There have been some stunning players throughout history, but Iniesta made being brilliant look not only easy, but graceful. Although he will never be held to the same degree as Messi or Ronaldo, who are the best the game has ever seen, Iniesta seems to be playing his own game. When in possession time almost slows as he causally, precisely and effortlessly plays the ball, without relying on great pace or stature. Very few players can achieve this. As such he will remain one of my favourites ever, along with Zidane, who was similar in his ability to play his own game. I don`t think I`ve ever been so pleased for a player than when he scored his world cup winning goal. Thanks for some magic moments down the years.

Quite a few people would think so including Gerard Hoiulier who felt Gerrard lacked the tactical discipline to play that holding role Roy Keane occupied.

Keane was able to sacrifice himself for the team to play a holding role brilliantly. It is debatable if Gerrard could have done similar, or wanted to which is more to the point. 1 hour ago, Super said: Scholes was class but so were Lampard and Gerrard. Like i said why could no manager find a system to play all 3? They did play together ... Not particularly well. Gerrard lacked the discipline to fit into a system which would have required him to be restricted. At Liverpool he was the focus of a team built around him that was defensively conservative to accommodate him playing with freedom. Lampard had similar traits. And again played in a conservative (Scholari apart) club side that accommodated him and allowed him freedom to play the game as he saw fit. Both players wanted to play in similar areas. One needed to be restricted, or dropped to provide balance for the other. Scholes was the one to be restricted and locked into left midfield ... Which looks like a nonsense now.
