Ballack Or Lampard?

I will admit i have said lampard is better for a long time, but you have got to take them blue goggles out and study each

player. Gerrard is one hell of a midfield player you cant overlook his all round game, he tackles scores goals passing

he is fast as fuck.

sorry am with LB on the gerrard front! nothing wrong wth either ballack or lamps should all rejoice in the fact that they both play for Chelsea

I think Gerrard and Lampard are different tho, they have differing roles. Gerrard is rellied upon to do pretty much everything for liverpool in their midfield. He tackles, defends, drives the team on, scores goals and tbh he is the complete midfielder, Liverpool are not the same team without him at all, he's fucking awesome if i'm honest. I'm not just gonna say he's shit because i'm a Chelsea fan and we're not supposed to like him or say anything good about him, thats bollocks. He is one of the best all round midfielders ive ever seen. Lampard doesnt have to do as much work becuse we have players that are there to help the defence and let lampard go forward. Lampard scores more goals than Gerrard does because of this. I know Liverpool have Mascherano and Sissoko but they dont both play together, Gerrard has the mindset to get back and tackle and dominate the game. When liverpool are struggling, Derby away for example, he does whatever he can to get his team out of trouble, he had an awesome shot against the bar, then he scored the winner in the last minute. Chelsea play with more than one defensive midfielder at the same time usually, mikel and essien or makelele, and Ballack is defensively minded too, usually 2 will play so theres no need for Lampard to do everything, he'll just get in the way like Pizarro does. Lampard has a job to do, score goals and make goals and thats exactly what he does.

So Gerrard waving his arms like a windmill makes him effective in a team...................

He hasnt got half the vision Frank has. Frank doesnt need to lunge into players to get the ball like Gerrard does either.

Why do you have too call me a fucking idiot elliot what have i done too deserve that ?

Well you came up with a pretty stupid reason why Lampard wasn't good. Because he's not God I think that deserved what I said. Stupidity brings up a red mist

Gerrard is one hell of a player I'm not denying that, but as Ollie said he and Lampard are slightly different players. I think you're better off comparing Gerrard to Essien than Lampard.

My real issue here was you trying to say Lampard had to be God and defend and attack all out at the same time. You were giving him a completely different bar to reach than every other player.

What i was trying to say is i would like lampard to be more complete thats all.

Okay, well I think he's a bit old to start changing his game. He's not the best midfielder in the world, but you only have to look at his amazing previous record to realise how important he is for us, and he's certainly one to keep for as long as possible. He still has plenty of years ahead as the player he is, and I look forward to them.

Let's sign Gerrard because clearly Lampard isn't good enough for our team Three season ago, the Lampard haters were singing the man's praises when he won the Premier League for us at Bolton.
