Gerrard or Lampard

[Chump]

I'm having an ongoing debate/argument with my mates on who is the best. Being a massive Liverpool fan I can't see past Gerrard as I believe he is the complete midfielder but I understand why people would argue for Lampard - his goal scoring from midfield has been phenomenal.

Who do you opt for??

You are missing the "don't care" option

Surely that option is not voting? Gerrard for me. I fully believe Liverpool wouldn't have came back from 3 down against Milan if it wasn't for him. I wonder which way Scouse Hibee will vote?

Hate to say it, but Gerrard. World class in his pomp.

If you stuck Scholes in there it would make it more interesting...

[The Sea-gull]

For me this is a bit like comparing Ronaldo and Messi (e.g. different types of players).

Gerrard is better tackling, passing and has a better engine. Lamprad is good at all of these things but not as good as Gerrard.

Lampard is better at shooting, heading and goal scoring. Gerrard is good at all of these but not as good as Lampard.

Right now I'd go for Gerrard as he is a bit younger and play more football but when they both retire I suspect they will be regarded about the same due to their achievements, much as they did so many times when playing for England together, cancel each other out.

Lampard will probably finish up the more decorated player but that will be counter balanced with the acknowledgement that Gerrard largely played in poorer club sides.

Wouldn't it just. Contest over for me as Scholes is overall a better complete player than either of them. Apart from maybe tackling and the other two are a wee bit ahead of him on the goal scoring front thought that is owed to the fact that they have been their clubs regular penalty takers for most of their careers where as, while he surley must have, I can't recall Scholes taking a pen.

He beats them out the park when it comes to major honours anyway!

[Mcpakeisgod]

Lampard for me . He has his record while being at a club constantly challenging for and winning trophies .
Gerrard reminds me of the old saying . 'Big fish in a small pond' .

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Who cares? but can't stand Gerrard FWIW

[brian6-2]

both murder, no a patch on scotty broon.

[JMac]

Who would I pick? Lampard, and I hate Chelsea. Overall I can understand why people choose Gerrard, as an all round player he's right up there. However if you break it down, there are a lot of players that do similar things to what Gerrard does, Vidal at Juve, Bastian at bayern, Toure at city, however there has never been a midfielder quite like Lampard

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Lampard for me.

[Dashing Bob S]

Neither. The question was relevant 3-5 years ago but isn't now. Both are too old and slow and next season will probably be their last one as semi-regulars in the Premiership.

Steve Gerrard, Gerrard,
He’ll pass the ball 40 yards,
He’s big and he’s ****in’ hard,
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard,
He’ll pass the ball 40 yards,
He’s better than Fat Lampard,
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.


The answer is in the song

Stevie G.

Steven Gerrard hands down! Lampard has a better goal scoring record but other than that Gerrard is the better player

"Gerraaaaaaaaaaaaard!!!!!!!"

[lapsedhibee]

Gerrard single-handedly won a European Cup final, which very few - if any other - people in the History of Europe have done, but he's a diving get. So Lampard.

Gerrard. Easy.

Lampard. Thought he was a great player for West Ham before he went to Chelsea who I hate.

[frazeHFC]

Gerrard every time for me.

I've always found them pretty different.

I can't say who I think is better as it would depend on the team.

i.e. at hibs I'd rather have Gerrard, but Lampard would be better than Gerrard at Barcelona or somewhere.

[hibeemikey21]

I think Gerrard is the better of the two. Just.

Really should have left and joined Madrid/bayern/barca

Saying that - I think Lampard is massively underrated by most. People who claim he just scores deflected goals and penalties (as is often claimed) need their heads checked.

Both phenomenal players.

Gerrard.
