Which one was/is best?

[whereswallace?]

On Monday night football last night, Neville and Carragher got into a wee heated debate about who was the better player from Gerrard, Scholes and Lampard. Carragher rated both Gerrard and Lampard as better than Scholes was which almost caused Neville to have a heart attack then claim Scholes was the best player he ever played with. In my opinion although all great players Paul Scholes was the best centre midfielder Iv ever watched. What's opinions on here?

Couldn't care less.

And for the record, Billy Bremner or Danny Blanchflower could have played any of those numpties off the park.

END OF.

And it goes without saying that Paddy Stanton was better than any of them.

Haha

This is like when my dad argues with me that there will never be a better boxer than Ali, a better Hibs player than Stanton or a better football player than Pele.

Back on subject though, scholes everyday of the week for me. Followed by a fair bit behind by Gerrard, then closely behind him by Lampard.

[Just_Jimmy]

Scholes was technically brilliant.
Lampard has scored a ridiculous amount of goals for a modern day midfielder.
Gerrard was a brilliant leader for liverpool.

None of them could match Kev Thomson first time round.

[calumhibee1]

Don't like him, but I'd have Lampard in my team ahead of both them.

[stu in nottingham]

I'd go for Scholes who appears to be very much a 'pro's pro'. I've always felt that Gerrard and Lampard are overrated at the highest level.

[brian6-2]

Stevie G all day every day.

[Pretty Boy]

Scholes.

From about 96/97 to the mid 2000s he was almost unplayable on his day.

Gary Neville actually tweeted that they came to an agreement after the show. After further discussion it was agreed that Chic Charnley was actually better than the three of them.

We are not comparing eggs with eggs here, all 3 play different roles within their teams. Lampard and Gerrard are a bit similar in that they get forward much more than Scholes ever did. Gerrard used to drive forward with the ball better than the others, Lampard linked play well and would ghost into the box and score a few, and Scholes sat deeper picking passes and controlling the game.

All 3 scored from long distance, but Lampard has scored more of every type of goal. Who's the best, they all have done great jobs for their respective teams?

If i was pushed it would be Lampard just for the amount of goals he scored.

[Bronson]

Steven Gerrard for me. Inspirational, all round amazing player, not a weak aspect to his game.

For me he's up there with Zidane as the best midfielder I've ever seen.

[lucky]

Scholes was the best player out of them all so I voted for him. Always thought Stevie G as overrated and more interested in himself rather than the team. Lamps scored some amount of goals but not the all round player of Scholes.

[Mon Dieu4]

Can't stand Man U but the Ginger Prince was the only one i liked, quietly went about his business and never wanted to be a celebrity, thought he was a fantastic player, from about 96 onwards he would have been first name on my team sheet if i was manager but only if Paul Holsgrove was injured

[Treadstone]

Gary Neville picked Scholes. Bit of a shocker that one.

For us young Hibees who never sampled the great man in his pomp, just how did he compare to yer Scholes', Gerard's and Lampard's of today?

His major weakness is his inability to stay on his feet when he gets inside the penalty area.

[Hibbyradge]

What language was Carragher speaking? He's nearly incoherent!

I could hardly understand what he said.

Mrs R was the same and she's from England!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Lampard for me.

All 3 would be on my favourites list for ew first scorer purposes, couldnae make myself write Scholes' name down before the first leg of the play-off game at Hampden though!

Just said - better than any of them.

Not a lot, and not the best images, but that gives you a wee idea of the man.

Note also how at the final whistle his first thought was to get the team together and go down to where we were standing.

A captain, a gentleman and a very very great player.

[One Day]

Scholes by a mile

Agree with that as their tournament performances have shown IMO.

As opposed to Scholes?

[The_Exile]

Depends what you're looking for really, think players, ex players and managers etc will pick Scholes for what he brings to the table for the team. I'd pick Scholes. Having said that, from an entertainment and "fan" point of view, I'd probably pick Gerrard due to the amount of times I've seen him almost single handedly won games in a Liverpool side that wasn't exactly a great team. Only Scholes would get in my top 5 centre mids though.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

They are all poor mens Pat McGinlays! I would be very surprised if any other midfield player has ever been top scorer in a league season for the lesser greens.

If it wasn't for Gerrard Liverpool would have lost the Champions League final to Milan. In my opinion of course.
