Different players but I still rate Lampard higher, though it's not by much. Gerrard has more power but Lampard is far more intelligent and more effective. They're both nothing special on a technical level and pretty similar in that regard. Their influence is hard to compare due to Gerrard's combatative style, which automatically makes it look as if you're more of a fighter and care more. Plus, Lampard at 33 is still better than Gerrard at 31 . But at the same time, I can see why one would rate Gerrard higher. Pool fans would tell you he's just as good as Zidane though.
