Vesper 30,182 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 FRANK LAMPARD PRESS CONFERENCE AHEAD OF VILLA Frank Lampard discusses 'huge talent’ Timo Werner and previews Sunday’s Match against Aston Villa, giving an update on injury news and how the run in will be similar to tournament football. ‘There are big things at stake in this game. There is a lot of work to be done. There is a lot of competition for the top four places.

Yes, he's reaching the twilight of his career - disgraceful post against a fucking legend in the right back position. Why the fuck do you support the team if you have to slate everybody? Grow up or get a life whichever is easier 👍 Hahaha how did I disrespect Azpi? Look bro in terms of accomplishments or quality he is nowhere near Ivanovic and not sure even Bane is a legend. But Iva was at least leader. So no, Azpi is not a leader and not a legend. Just solid squad player like Paulo Ferreira or Alonso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always looks positive He leaves everything on the pitch, every game Is rarely injured, so is always present His team mates seem to like him Apart from you, I don't know any fans that don't respect or appreciate 'Dave' As @Jason has said we have been spoilt in the past with some amazing once in a generation leaders. Dave might not be in their bracket, but he's not far away. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have: Sheff Utd (H) Norwich (A) Brighton (A) B'mouth (H) Villa (A) Soton (H) Palace (A) West Ham (H) Leicester (A) 2 games against current top 7, 5 games against bottom 6. Ours Villa (A) - Possibly our biggest bogey ground in the PL City (H) Leicester (A) West Ham (A) Watford (H) Palace (A) Sheff Utd (H) Dippers (A) Wolves (H) That three London derby's plus 5 games against the top seven. I would say anything but a win at Villa then 12 points from the Leicester, West Ham, Watford and Palace games and we won't finish top 4 and will have to hope for 5th place getting it for us. Yeah, Dave has been great. Will be regarded as one of the best FB's in the clubs history. Honestly, just because on paper it looks easy or hard doesn't make it so. Sheff Utd will get something at Utd I'm sure of it. We can beat City Our game against the bin dippers will be largely irrelevant to them as they will have sealed the title by then and Klopp likes to tinker - so I do fully expect a weakened team. Also if it's us and Utd aiming for Top4 - there's no way they will want Utd to get in - their perfect season is winning the league and Utd missing out on CL. Have faith 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking trophies, then both have won everything there is to win at the club, except for the Champions League in Azpi's case. Quality? At their best, both Ivanovic and Azpi are great defensively. Ivanovic may have scored more goals but then again, he is center back while Azpi is a full back. Going forward from open play, both are not that good to say the least. Azpi...a SQUAD PLAYER when he has consistently been in the XI every week, under 4 different permanent managers over 7 years?

Okay, now you're just taking the piss... Prime Iva was top5 RB in the world. I think there was a moment when he was the best after Dani Alves and Maicon. Best two seasons from Azpi came when he was LB (Mourinho title season) and when he was RCB for Conte winning season. As RB he was solid at best. Talking about trophies yes CL is a big difference. Iva was major part of that team at highest level. Goal against Napoli, heroic defending against Barca... Winning goal in EL final was also big. This is why he is a leader! There is a reason why we did not do shit in the CL since Azpi is our leader. Also number of trophies is important and Bane have more. Not to mention individually... UEFA European Under-21 Championship Team of the Tournament: 2007 PFA Team of the Year: 2009–10 Premier League,[24] 2014–15 Premier League UEFA Champions League Team of the Season: 2014–15 FIFPro World XI 4th team: 2014 FIFPro World XI 5th team: 2013, 2015 UEFA Europa League Final Man of the Match: 2013 ... Azpi has nothing of this. But my point was never to compare those two. I respect Azpi, work horse, great buy for 7m, very pro player but not a legend and leader that is all!
