Gerrard or Lampard?

Question

Who would yo say is the best? IMO Gerrard. Lampard only looks good because of the players around him. Joe cole or Makelele for example. whenever lampard makes a mistake (which is often if you watch chelsea) makelele is there to pick up the pieces. But Gerrard has made Liverpool what they are today. Scored against Olympiakos to send us through the champs league. scored to get us going against probably the best team in the world at the time AC Milan in the best cup final EVER! and then again in the FA Cup Final & look at the two goals he has scored this world cup. he hasnt had half as many chances as lampard either so Just what has Lampard done to equal Gerrard for club or country.

Answer 1

It is a good question and quite right!! In fairness AND in all honesty, it is hard to see what Lampard has done to equal Gerrard - certainly on a club level. It clearly HAS TO BE Gerrard!! The examples you stated are just essential to this discussion.

And indeed, it is that much easier when you do have four or five world-class players (as Chelsea clearly do) around you, than it is when you are one of possibly two, having to create that drive and passion for your team, and above all to lead by example. What's more you have to say that Gerrard in a Chelsea team (God forbid!!) would fit in more than nicely, whereas you couldn't expect Lampard to do what Gerrard does for Liverpool, if he was playing for Liverpool. Here, the determination and guts must surely put Gerrard ahead of Lampard.

Gerrard's work rate compared to that of Lampard is unbelieavble - he runs his heart out for Liverpool week-in-week-out, creates clear-cut chances, scores and produces moments of pure magic. His passing and often pin-point delivery from dead-ball situations surely puts him above Lampard alone. You could replace Lampard in a team, but there wouldn't no replacing Gerrard - definitely not at club level anyway. And besides, Gerrard does often have to face the daunting task of picking up a below par Liverpool by its very shoelaces, which is surely something players of Lampard's calibre could do, but not do so AND excel as Gerrard has done so on many occasions.

Now this is not to say that Lampard is not a great player, that is not the case, as he is brillant - it's just that Gerrard is just marginally a better player.

Answer 2

Gerrard with two goals so far, and always seems to come up with an important goal (FA Cup final for example) - Lampard has not been playing well and seems so desperate to score, which sees him taking shots when playing another player in would be the better option - hopefully Sven will see before it is not too late that the two players do not compliment each other - drop Lampard for Carrick I say - but Gerrard should play all of the remaining games in opinion.

Answer 3

Lampard is an fairly good participant in a Premiership triumphing team with many different gamers to make him look even more effective positive. Gerrard is, in my own opinion, a more effective positive all round footballer it truly is taking section in in a team that, at maximum proper, is going to end third this season and for the forseeable destiny. I ask the question, if Gerrard had lengthy gone to Chelsea, would Lampard have saved his position contained in the team?

Answer 5

its a hard decision but i have to go with Gerrard based on what you've said about him. however Lampard may've not got Chelsea to the champion's league but we have won the premiership twice in a row which is fantastic.
they're both important to the English football team now because Owen is out (due to his injury). I think Lampard is just trying to find his best form, every footballer has their ups and downs and i just hope he really pulls through and score goals for us. That's what happened to Ronaldo before but now his found his form and has put in 15 goals in World cup which is a record.

I reckon Gerrard may get up to that record one day tho... i really do.

Overall they both have won player of the year which a big achievement, however right now, Gerrard is doing better internationally like the World cup right now

Answer 6

Both are currently the best midfielders . There style of playing is complete different,even there skills, shots selection,n passing instinct.
I would rate Gerrard a rank higher than Lampard because he has taken Liverpool to new heights single handily. N above all is scoring goals for England in this WorldCup.

Answer 10

Gerrard for sure
U r very much right dude! Gerrade is a playmaker,very much hard-working.Got 2 goals in the world cup with few shots on goal.But Lampard is just not playing that well,off colour he is at the moment.It wont be wrong if we say that Liverpool is very much an a one man army,but I guess that it doesnt matter as far as results are coming.
