Frank Lampard IS WORLD CLASS

[Lampards Bitch 21]

Seriously Steven Gerrard is one of the greatest most naturally talented players the English have ever produced. He is better than Lampard and that is the truth, Gerrard inspires players, he plays the game with hunger and desire plus his ability is out of this world.

I wont even dignify this with a debate ................... it's so 2-3 years ago much love badboy xxx

There is a great need for sarcasm font.

He is being serious. I use to argue with him on this for pages and pages about 2 years ago. But there is no point arguing/debating it, it goes round in circles

I'll have a go

Badboy.. Yes Gerrard inspires, but that's only in the 80^th minute when the team has lost all hope. He's like Essien (of late), when hope is losing out he'll make the drives forward and inspire others. However Lampard, will find you the goals. He's the one who's got the awareness and genius to be in the right place, at the right time. Be it in the box, to poach in a goal, or on the D to drive in a powerful shot which it 99% to be a goal.

Gerrard doesn't stick to his position. Example; during the World Cup complaints were "he's being played on the left, out of position". When Fabio moved him to just behind the striker, he went off the left he was totally out. Like Anelka, no sense of position.

Gerrard is a WINNER and he always believes that he can turn a game, he is driven !

Yes Lampard is tactically better then Gerrard but Gerrard is better than him at nearly everything else, Gerrard has a better shot even. Gerrard can do everything in that midfield he is a pure leader of men and if he played for Chelsea it would of been incredible.

Gerrard's shots are more powerful, but Lampard's are more accurate. Also, Lampard has the ability to create something out of nothing. Gerrard needs the players around him to create something, be it Torres or Xabi Alonso. I don't think he's as "incredible" as you make him out to be - I'd also argue Lampard's a better passer than Gerrard is. Gerrard's control is better, but long balls? Lampard wins.

As for leadership - Well we've got John Terry

This must be a wind-up.

Gerrard better than Lampard?

Never have I seen a player get so much hype. Well Cristiano Ronaldo maybe even more but still. Lampard is better than Gerrard in every skill in football, only Gerrard's first touch is slightly better. Gerrard only beats him in physicality.

He fights in bars.

this is a tad old from 2009 but still it sums up and is all i want to say on the matter

In contrast to Gerrard, it is easy at times to miss the contributions of this highly motivated individual such is the wonderful simplicity of his passing game. One or two touches, he rarely takes more when that middle ground becomes unbearably congested.

There is no-one better at it either; no-one more skilled in the art of the quick-fire pass under pressure, having expertly worked out distances and angles before the ball arrives at his feet.

Those calculations often result in a diagonal first-time pass over the top where, in the good times, Didier Drogba could be seen racing away. If that's not on, Lampard will choose something a little more conservative, if equally impressive in terms of peripheral vision and ability to spot the right pass in the blink of an eye.

From a positional point of view, he is probably more disciplined than Gerrard, more suited to following a rigid game plan. Never was this firm grasp of tactics better showcased than during England's 4-1 win in Croatia last September when Lampard sat deep to provide defensive cover – a performance all the more worthy given his natural game.

Arriving in the box with exquisite timing and hitting the target with a snap shot – now that's more his style. Nobody in the world, I think, has done it for so long at the top level with quite so much success.

An unquenchable thirst for practice undoubtedly helps. There aren't many footballers who can honestly say they've done everything humanly possible to reach their full potential. Lampard can. The ultimate pro, he's a credit to the game.

Conclusion

The statistics speak loud and clear. Over the last eight years, Lampard has scored more goals than Gerrard and contributed more assists in a Chelsea side winning two Premier League titles. Difficult to argue against such stunning figures.

It's like "MY DAD IS BETTER THAN YOURS!" debate...

Lampard doesnt need to be a bullish twat and lunge in with 2 feet and get a strop on. he will just tackle and take the ball off the player............

Lol if there is one player in this world that game make something out of nothing its Gerrard.

[Wilson 358]

Gerrard can't make a good run with the ball. No being funny, truthfully though because I actually like Gerrard lol. Also LDN, long balls is s tough one between the two.

He can. But i doubt that he can dictate the game for full 90 minutes.
