Ballack Or Lampard?

[Stamford 3]

No reason to pick one, both are top top class players who can and will play together in a midfield 3 when Lamps is back. Ballack has been very impressive in the last few games though and he will be a big player for us for the rest of the season.

Nuff said. Great post.

If I had to pick... it's lampard.

He's legend status now... not taking anything away from Ballack though, he has performed, but ollie what you said about Mikel is simply not true, he is world class, he keeps the ball so well, excellent passing and very strong... will be awesome in the future!

Ballack is better at set plays by the way, whoever said lampard is better at set plays on the first page needs help. And about Lampard and Ballack in the same team, its simple......get mikel out, i personally think he's been crap this season. Maybe slightly harsh but he's been so ineffective. I spose you could play all 3 tho if we're playing without wingers.

Back on topic, Lampard is more effective out of the 2 playing with the other 3. Lampard all the way. I can't believe after all the abuse Ballack got last season, he's now played 3 decent games and there's a "Lampard or Ballack" thread.

I started the thread because I saw a different thread where the 2 were mentioned (how they've been playing etc).

That Ok with you boss?

Lamps wont be going anywhere. I do believe Frank when he says that he wants to end his career at Chelsea. He has legend status at Chelsea and why would you want to leave when you have that at a club?

yeah i can understand the thread, i'm not being critical as such, but he was given lots of abuse last season (guilty) and hes only played 3-4 games whatever since. The main thing is seeing how well the 2 play together this year and not one or the other. And about mikel..... he keeps the ball well maybe, Last season he impressed me a lot but so far this season he's done sweet fuck all. I'm pleased he's gone to the African nations cup. He's lazy.

I think Lamps will stay, i guess the argument with cara would be that once your a legend, perhaps you wanna move on and try something different. I hope he doesn't but you wouldn't blame him would you. Well i wouldn't. Down to him i suppose. I hope he stays tho.

Frank has been taking shit corners/free kicks for ages. that does grate on me. Hardley ever misses the 1st man. In fact it's not just Frank, but who ever takes them. We are the only blimmin team in the Prem who cant whip a fucking ball in a danger area. It needs sorting.

Wouldnt be a problem if Ballack took them.

or Alex

even joe cole and malouda's quality from dead balls this season have been shite, SWP took a few corners vs fulham and he just kinda chips/drives them in the kind of easy way making sure they get in the area and miss the first man. Belletti took some good free kicks and corners. Depends who's playing really. Ballack has taken a couple of great FK's lately so if he plays, he should be on them. Corners probably Belletti but thats if he plays, he looks dodgy at the back to me, i feel safer with ferreira at the back (never thought i would say that).
