I agree with the Everton fan. Lampard shows up well in the statistics, but when I’m watching him play I hardly notice him. He isn’t a world class player, he’s a good player who works well in the Chelsea mould, which is why he shows up so well in the statistics. For england, though, Lampard is often the weak link, looking out of his depth and nervous, although he does work hard. He’s a nice guy, and I don’t like to fault him because of that, but he isn’t a world class player.

Gerrard, however, is a whole different story. He’s past his peak, probably, and although he probably has another great year or two in him, 09/10 proved that he’s lost the ability to totally carry the team on his back. However, he was England’s one ray of hope at the world cup, and just watching him play when he’s on form is a terrific experience. His passion and leadership are vital for Liverpool, who but for him are a team destined for mid-table (not to insult players like Torres and Cole, but they can’t carry a team). He doesn’t show up so well in the statistics because he often doesn’t need to be there for the final ball/goal, he’s more involved in setting it up. My final point (and this one is indisputable) is that Gerrard is FAR more versatile than Lampard. For that, there is no argument.

Agree with Toffee T, as a Chelsea fan I think Lampard is a good player who fits well in the Chelsea unit who could easily been replaced by an Essien/Ballack/Deco or even now Ramires.It is Drogba and Cech that made Chelsea Champions not Lampard.
About Gerrard, he is also a good player, due to his athleticism. Comparing the two, Gerrard would be slightly better than Lampard due to his athleticism.
It must be noted that Lampard and Gerrard are NOT WORLD CLASS players hence the reason England struggle at world cups, they both lack the technical ability and possesion skills of a Xavi/Iniesta/Oezil.

My God people, Chelsea just won the doubel with Lamps the highest scoring midfielder yet again! Stop wasting your time. Who was it that posted something about consistency? 22 goals in one season? Thats better than most forwards in the league. Gerrard is only loved coz he’s seen as a folk tale in liverpool. I don’t beleiev in fairy tales. The consistency of a whole team in terms of player skills is a good point and proof that a player can do well. But i think that applies to forwards getting help from midfielders and not the other way around. There will always be haters and those that hate chelsea becoz they still think that money bought them titles which is bullcrap especially when you take Real Madrid as an example: a team that spends millions every year with barely any respectful results.

lano your commet is pointless, i dont think anyone who favours lampard more than gerrard like me wouuld say lampard is captain material, we know that but that isnt what were arguing about.captain isnt always best player. got to agree btw with lorne, only need to look at what each of them has won, yes gerrard might not be in a better team but hes the one to blame for that, ask me hes been scared to move away from anfield because there it seems lyk he has a good game all the time and your gunna if the rest of the team is shit. dont get me wrong i think hes fantastic jus dont know why he stuck around at anfield for so long.

To put it simply I am a everton fan so really I hate the pair of them however if lampard is better than gerrard which he isn’t why is gerrard the vice England captain and the current captain of England in the 2010 world cup face it gerrard is better also as was said earlier in the argument gerrard never played for England in his favoured position and scored 1 goal less than lampard and only played four more games give gerrard his favoured role and stick lampard out of position you will see a completely different argument however football is opinionated and no-one will pick the same side to put out on the pitch.

Since this article Lampard has scored 88 goals, Gerrard 68. Chelsea have one 1 Premiership,3 FA Cups, League Cup and Community Shield. Liverpool nothing and if Gerrard really did come through in big games as he has the reputation of doing then there would have been a trophy since 2006 and Rafa would still be coach.

Lampard more goals, more assists, higher pass accuracy, more wins and more trophies.
