In his prime, who was the best midfilder from the last 10 years?

In his prime, who was the best midfilder from the last 10 years?

>Pirlo over Busquets

xavi cause he could score

Xavi, Lampard, Yaya Toure

Jack Wilshere

PAUL SCHOLES

Frank Lampard career goals: 274

Xavi career goals: 106

Pirlo career goals: 73

Iniesta career goals: 61

Does kinda make you think, doesn't it?

yeah, players in different roles have very different ammount of goals scored, deep stuff

Didn't Lampard take penalties?

Modric

I always wanted barça to get lampard cause he liked here, his wife is catalan I think
At least we got Henry

>the destroyer of derby county

>The Annihilator of Aston Villa

What the fuck is up with the rating Pirlo meme lately? Is this another Scholes situation where people who didn't even see him play want to look intelligent by mentioning him? Well at least Scholes didn't play his entire career in a mickey mouse shitter league

At the end of the day, Lampard was a midfielder. He's also the 4th all time Premier League scorer, all the other players around him in that list are strikers. But of course he's severely underrated by everyone because he played for Chelsea AND was English

>not rating le beautiful passes beard man

how many world cups did this "Paul Scholes" win?

>busquets anywhere near that list

>At the end of the day, Lampard was a midfielder
Midifelder is too much of a broad classification, Pirlo and Lampard had very different roles and plaied in different part of the fields.
99% of Pirlo's goals were scored outside of the box for exemple, while Lampard was free to go in often
Pirlo was integral part of one of the best teams ever, won 2 CLs a WC 6 leaues titles and various other minor stuff all as protagonist, fuck off

you're forgetting someone

>cristiano "crusher of celta vigo" penaldo dickriders saying certain goals don't count
lmao

where is steven gerrard?

...

xavi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>iniesta>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>perro caca>the rest

In Xavi's pocket

2010 sneijder

he slipped m8

...

in their prime
Xavi=Sneijder>Iniesta>Lampard>several players>Pirlo>the rest

scholesy

Not to mention 4th in all-time assists. And he was a big game player.

Big fan of Lamps,but Xavi was better

Asensio will surpass them all

Get me in the screencap

>he fell for the Ausensio meme

*gets a career ending infection after shaving his legs*

Modric

Lampard was a CAM. And a damn good one. Can't compare his position. You'd have to compare him to someone like Sneijder or Kaka from the same decade

Unironically Slippy G

>serie A
>shitter league
are you trolling or just retarded?

Litmanen still played in the last ten years so Litmanen.

they don’t reply because they know it’s true

>last 10 years
2008 onwards, it's pretty easy. Xavi, Modric and Alonso are pretty far away from everyone else. 2nd line would see Toure, Kroos, Iniesta, Busquets, Pirlo etc

Fabregas

Off of those 3 Xavi clearly

>Pirlo was integral part of one of the best teams ever
No he wasn't. He was a luxury player/specialist at best for that great Milan team.
He was by far the worst player of the starting 11 most of the time.

>Pirlo
He wasn't even the best Milan mid. Seedorf was much better than him.
I'd also rate Van Bommel, Sneijder, Ronaldinho over him anyday

>These goals dont count because I say so

HEy Celta Vigo is actually pretty good you fucking leaf

Should have won the ballon d'or

I'm really getting tired of >positional DMs and CMs.

Pirlo changed teams too many times in the same league
I hate that

Hmm sweetie...

del piero

Busquets or Modric

>last ten years
>Riquelme
last 20 maybe

>Serie A around 2006
>Shitter league

Hungary range ban when?

>le enganche man

he was fun but never an all-time great

>pirlo
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>no lampard or scholes mentioned
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>muh goals motafucka

stevie g la

>lampard or scholes
BWHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAaaahhh...

Iniesta by a long way

Pirlo. The non system/messi babby

you mean iniesta because he could score?

World cup final, champions league semis and finals

He popped up with the goals

>Goals

Who cares

this

iniesta scored when it mattered, xavi scored to turn a 4-0 win against celta vigo into 5-0

He was lucky
I have seen every match of barça and he was terrified of scoring
He kicked like a grandma

Don Andres Iniesta by far

>actually putting Pirlo there
kek

>Pirlo was integral part of one of the best teams ever

I find the lack of Seedorf in this thread disgusting

Ah yes, goals are of course completely meaningless in the sport of football. Far more important is getting 100+ sideways passes a game

Put it this way
You have to build a team from scratch, something like fantasy football
But as your first pick you have to choose between those 3 in their prime and lampard also in his prime
I believe that vast majority, if not all, top coaches wouldn't choose lampard

>I believe that vast majority, if not all, top coaches wouldn't choose lampard
you're wrong fag

clever

He's correct. Lampard's numbers come from being a system babby, not that he wasn't a good player in other facets. But it's a no-brainer that among Englishmen, Gerrard was always a better midfielder. And the people we're talking about here are also clearly more adept midfielders who at their peak were better at making their team win trophies.

>rating ronaldinho at milan

umm sweetie he played for city

Steven Gerrard.

>tfw nobody rate prime Vidal

Feelsbadman.jpg

top 10 in order
Xavi
Iniesta
Modric
Pirlo
Scholes
Gerrard
Schweinsteiger
Busquets
Kroos
Alonso

Replace Busquets with Lampard and it's perfect.

Iniesta > Pirlo > Xavi

It actually makes me angry when people rate Scholes higher than Lampard.

I can perhaps understand Gerrard, he carried his team to a CL which is very impressive, but fucking Scholes? What did he ever do that was so great? I guess you have to be a soyboy to appreciate Scholes

I was. I'm not going to say who I am though

>If we had Paul Scholes, we would've had a thousand year Reich

- Adolph Hitler

>1 fluke CL and nothing else to show for it

just like Gerrard: they're shit, dude.

checks nationality
shakes head

Messi is a better midfielder than all of them. Not even joking.

will he be able to play in midfield until he's 40?

Leave it to the Catalan to successfully deliver faggotry in every thread he browses

Xavi. Iniesta's easier on the eye but Xavi controlled games

You should be back from the Chelsea match by now Andres

Pirlo

>great comeback against Napoli
>great comeback against Barca a man down
>great comeback against Bayern
If anything it was the most deserved CL win of all time

In my God honest opinion I say the best all around mid fielder would have to be either Iniesta, or Modric

>required all of those opponents to choke
>two of them missed crucial penalties

yeah right, no luck involved.

Shelvey has some hidden potential

Lampard is easily the best

0/10 bait

Paulinho
