manpe 10,861 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Lampard Chelsea legend, vice-captain and second highest scorer. Ballack still basically nobody, a couple of good performances (far from his very best). So I pick Lampard any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Given the amount of times she's criticised Lampard recently, for instance check this thread about his bad corner and freekick taking, you know that is bullshit badboy. Give it a rest, you are very boring.Sorry elliot in terms of team play lampard has not contributed enough for too long. Criticising his free kicks and corners are only half the story, i remember when lampard used to run the show with maka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 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.Belletti and Malouda take mean corner kicks. I would prefer them to do our set pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause you are very mistaken if you think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will admit lampard in the last third of the pitch is the most effective midfielder in europe, but he does not contribute to the defensive side of the game.He leaves essien to do all the dirty work then he has 100 shots a game he is a second striker in my eyes.This is the reason frank lampard will not play for england under cappello !

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 He shouldn't have to do any defending, he effectively is a second striker. Essien is the defensive midfielder, its exactly the same role as Makelele does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not superman and neither is anybody else? What exactly do you want? Ballack doesn't do what you are saying any better either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lampards Bitch Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Badboy, I know you have this thing about winding me up about Frank. It's not working. OK I my user name doesnt help but that along with Mrs Lamps is my nickname. I do critise ANY Chelsea player where due. You seriously need to stop being childish and accept other peoples views and if you disagree fine, challenge the view but in a tactful way.I personally thing you are totally blind if you cant see that Mikel has been out of sorts recently. I think living in Bin Dipper land has seriously affected you tbh lol.seriously get down to SB and I will gladly have a chat there and you will soon see I am no mug when it comes to Chelsea.

Elliott 7 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 micheal essien and gerrard go from box to box fine.Yeah right. Since when does Essien provide 20 goals with 20 assists. Gerrard doesn't score as many goals (though provides similar assist rate) and whilst he's a little bit defensively, overall that doesn't really make him better than Lampard. You're criticising Lampard for being shit, but when asked what you expect, you expect him to be fucking Jesus or something. Fucking idiot.

Fucking idiot.Why do you have too call me a fucking idiot elliot what have i done too deserve that ?Gerrard is better than lampard, gerrard is a driving force. How many times has he brought liverpool out a hole when the chips are down you can rely on gerrard john terry drogba, lampard is not one of these players.

Badboy 1,526 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 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 eachplayer. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippin 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) 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. Edited January 6, 2008 by OllieCFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
