Lampard or Gerrard?

[foxfanazer]

Who has been the better player out of these two Premier League legends. Always preferred Lampard myself but Gerrard has single handedly won trophies for Liverpool at times. It's a shame to see them both go imo

[ousefox]

Gerrard is without doubt the better player. Carried shit teams year after year.

[ScouseFox]

Gerrard is a lot better. 

[iamafox]

Lampard.

Gerrard in his prime but in the latter years Lampard.

 

Gerrard's finished now I think, he should have left a good year ago.

Lampard. He's won medals and scored more goals. I know who I'd sooner have

Because he was in a vastly superior team. That said, it's hard to call. I am completely undecided.

Typical statement of the now statistic obsessed nation of football followers we've become. The fact Lampard scored more goals is totally irrelevant. As I said in another post, take Gerrard out of the Liverpool team and replace him with Lampard, they would never have won the CL or FA cup. Put Gerrard in the Chelsea team instead of Lampard and they still win all those trophies, and that's the difference. Lampard is a cog in a very good machine, Gerrard is the engine.

 

In fact the more I think about the more the debate is totally redundant, they are completely different players. Lampard is a pretty much deep lying support striker, Gerrard is a all action box to box midfielder. The fact Gerrard scored nearly 100 league goals from that role is phenomenal, Roy Keane played a similar role and got nowhere near that amount.

Probably Gerrard at his peak, just. His ability to dig in when it matters most and inspire others is something we've always appreciated at Leicester.

They're  different players with different skills I don't  see any point in trying to work out who is better they've  both had great careers, brought lots  of joy to so many so I'll  abstain.

Good for you

Scholes.

But how many times was Giggs in the PFA team of the year?

[Guest Col city fan]

Difficult to choose.

Both brilliant.

I see your point but I'm not sure can say goals scored is 'irrelevant' when that's the whole idea of the game.

This poll is shocking me. Anybody who would rather have had Lampard in his prime over Gerrard in his prime in their team is mad.

Gerrard in his prime was better than Lampard in his prime.

 

However Lampard has performed to a consistently higher standard outside of his prime than Gerrard managed.

[Littletoe]

Gerrard..... But it's understandable if a person chooses Lampard, both have been at some point in their careers, world class. I'd go into battle with Gerrard leading, anyday. He's carried such a poor England team for years, Lampard hasn't.

I think I'd agree with that. Although you could put that down to being managed better. Chelsea could deal without Lampard playing every game which wasn't the case with Gerrard.
