I blame the fans,

==================

You are right. At half time, the optima stats showed only 2 players on the pitch had run less than Messi, the 2 goal keepers...

That's not the discussion at all

It's not to do with tracking back or defending. It's to do with dropping deep to collect the ball

That much is true, and I'd also throw in a bit of "good old days syndrome" for good measure. But that's why I wrote "as I recall".

As above Analog, just telling it as I subjectively remember it.

Nevertheless, it was mentioned in the context of a very wide variety of reasons that make it almost impossible to reach some kind of objective comparison between both players.

Bottom line is that using -as many do- "number of goals/assists/trophies" as some kind of all-telling evidence is just so inherently flawed that it's barely worth considering.

I agree, there are two camps. Either think Messi is better than Maradona by statistical evidence, or you use visual evidence why Messi is better than the Argie Ben Arfa.
