256 career goals from midfield

amazing really

Not so amazing when you consider the factor that he was the main penalty taker.

Not that I am having a go at Lampard, he is one of the best players I've seen of my generation, and I cannot fault him. Just does my head in when I see that sort of stat. IMO it should be broken down between goals scored and penalties scored. In Lampards case, it would still be impressive.

You seem to be suggesting that being a reliable penalty taker is somehow a stick to beat Lampard with. In a game where all goals count for the same, and as a supporter of a team that won the league title on goal difference not too long ago, that seems a slightly perverse point of view.

You seem to be assuming a lot.

I take it regardless of the result then Costa is the worthy winner for the golden boot as he doesn't take penalties and Aguero does?

Exactly. Total goals means nothing to me, breaking it down does.


Total goals mean nothing to you ?

I'm now beginning to understand your contribution to the Hart thread.

Thank the Lord that penalties aren't discluded from goal difference calculations ;)

The previous posters stats on Lampard are bang on btw

I don't doubt them, but when I Googled earlier I found no break down stats for Lampard.
Really, I googled it and found it straight away.

Re: Frank Lampard

What a load of nonsense. Taking penalties is crucial and a real pressure moment. Yes you should score but it should no way discount from the contribution being made. He was so good at them he scored them regularly and he had the responsibility to take them. Had he been poor at them he would have had that responsibility taken away. Many players struggle with penalties, even those that score regularly. Aguero isn't always convincing with them. It's a lot of pressure when the goal could win the game and you have all that time to think about things.
 
Re: Frank Lampard

Ah, I see you're already discussing it.

In the stream I watched the commentator said he's just one goal behind Thierry Henry's Premier League tally. Pretty amazing for a fat bloke playing in midriff. Super Frank!

You take it wrong.

Why do people assume so much with my posts?

I would suggest that if you are frequently being misunderstood then there is probably a deficiency in your ability to express your ideas well.
