The great debate
Lampard was always the better player.
He was better in the CL too.
>>65644415
lamps of course
debate like lebron and mj right?
one of them is a shit choker, the other a true champion
>people will unironically think gerrard was better
Lanpards better because he took more penalties and didnt play for Liverpool
Lampard is better as he is not a degenerate scouser
Neither because soccer is for fairy's and wogs
Without Gerrard Liverpool wouldn't have won a single trophy in the last 15 years.
Without Lampard Chelsea would have still won trophies.
>>65644568
>implying those are his biological kids
Gerrard had shit tier players around him, the one season he had Torres, Mash and Alonso to help him he shat on everyone including lampard
(ronaldo & messi don't count)
>>65644415
Gerrard. You don't compare a general to a sniper.
>>65644633
That was also the season where Liverpool wrecked Real Madrid 4-0 and Zidane called Gerrard "the best in the world".
Overall: Lampard with a slight margin
On their peaks: Gerrard, and this isn't even debatable.
At his peak Gerrard was top 3 in the world, he schooled other European teams whenever he met them by himself nearly.
Props to Lampard too, he is the smartest and probably has the most powerful kick of all English midfielders.
Needless to say both are above the meme that is Scholes.
>>65644633
Good analogy. Lampard has more goals because he was more offensive minded, but he would have never been able to carry a team like Gerrard did
>>65644665
Meant for >>65644644
>>65644654
This. Considering their wholes careers Lampard is definitely better, a miles ahead of Gerrard. At his peak Gerrard was the best midfield in the world though but it didn't last.
Fuck both of them though, Iniesta & Xavi are the real deal.
>Tfw you're Lampard and the whole world hates your club to death
>Tfw you're Gerrard and your club missed the title, at first with Torres at his very best, then with a godlike Suarez, just because of you
both equally shit in world cups
>>65644633
>>65644646
Its funny cause Lampard was better than Gerrard that season too. He was the 2nd best midfielder after Xavi that year.
deflectpard was carried by better midfielders his whole career. slippy carried shit midfielders for most of his.
>it's an abl thread
disgusting
>>65644958
He literally played with Suarez, Carragher, Fowler, Xabi Alonso, Torres, Owen, Mascherano
>/sp/ shit players compilation
Stevie G > Lampard
When you play for Chelsea you're automatically a shitbucket
>>65644966
>worship my inbred god please
Fuck em both
They ruined every England team they ever played in because they could NOT fucking play together
>>65645024
you mean lampard ruined it
>Despite attempts to characterise much of England’s so-called ‘golden generation’ as international failures, only four players – Gary Lineker, Sir Geoff Hurst, Sir Bobby Charlton and Michael Owen – have scored more World Cup goals for England than Gerrard.
>>65645024
blame shit managers
>muh 4-4-2
>>65644875
TBF in 08/09, the other time livershit came second, torres was injured a lot and gerrard basically carried the team in the league. If torres had been fit all season then i imagine they would have won the league
>>65645024
Didn't lamps tied it up against Germany but the goal got disallowed.
>>65644654
>>65644875
This
07/09 gerrard> lampard> every other gerrard
>>65645046
Our golden generation was a complete failure
We honestly had a top 3 team in the world from like 98-2004
And we won NOTHING
>>65644595
that is the worst argument I have ever heard, particularly since there's no way of proving it.
>>65645084
>We honestly had a top 3 team in the world from like 98-2004
they really didnt heskey and fucking vassell played a significant number of games
>>65645102
We really did though
>Becks
>Scholes
>Gerrard
>Lampard
>A. Cole
>John Terry
>Owen
>Joe Cole
>Teddy
>Carragher
>David James
>Rio
We had world class players everywhere
>>65644966
literally no one's mentioned leicester lad
>>65645084
Try top 5
The top three was Brazil Italy France
>>65645118
you really didnt, were always weak up front, the midfield players peaked at different times and the keepers were always shite bar seaman in 98
>>65645118
exposed when they weren't surrounded by foreign talent
>>65645150
Not really
The issue with England is we either pair plays who can't play together or keep plays when they're way past their prime because they're big names
I mean look at the German squad that won the world cup, the average age was like 24
We have a bunch of guys in their mid 30's in the last world cup
>>65645184
>Not really
yes really, by the time lampard and gerrard were at their best scholes was gone and beckham was finished, owen never had anything up front with him and the keepers always had a clanger in them
>>65644633
Chelsea put Liverpool out of the CL that season.
So in Gerrard's greatest season with world class teammates around him, he won fuck all?
>>65645118
you guys lost to fucking us
>>65644654
>Needless to say both are above the meme that is Scholes
Top kek.
>>65645084
England should have been the best placed side to win Euro 2004.
As a Scot, I remembered being worried by this team, pic related.
If Rooney doesn't get injured England would have won it.
>>65645118
>car rag her
>Joe choke
Aye right mate
>>65645118
>forgetting your only centre back to turn up at major international tournaments
>>65645295
God I'm still Buttblasted about that. Euro 2004 was the last time I was excited about a tournament.
>>65645295
>playing scholes, lampard, gerard and beckham on midfield
They didn't track back enough.
Liverpool without Gerrard has no gestalt. Chelsea without Lampard could very well be better. Chelsea's owner is antiparsimonious and would have simply plugged any other mercenary into the system.
They're basically both inferior specimens when compared to the two true goat central midfielders of the premier league era
>>65645358
god bless ledley t b h
>>65645394
>implying
he maybe an absolute retard who cries das racist at every opportunity but holy fuck he was goat for England.
Literally carried Terrys sorry arse at Euro 2004
>>65645063
Why wouldn't 442 work with both Lampard and Gerrard? Oh cos Lampard is a fat fuck who'd be dead by minute 33 if he actually had to provide cover.
>>65645388
Forgot pic
>>65645418
lol
>implying gerrard bothered covering
he literally only excelled when benitez realised he couldn't be trusted defensively, shoved him up the pitch and put Xabi and Masch behind him.
>>65645416
king was better tbph
>>65645449
Not even close lad
Lampard had one of the most impressive and consistent careers of any player in the modern game
Gerrard had some very impressive years
>>65645465
king was the best european CB of the last 20 years son. if he hadn't had exploding knees he'd have been starting for barca. you'd agree if you knew anything about football.
>>65645486
go to bed arry
>>65645486
>if he didn't miss every other game he'd have been the best player in the world
Yeah but he did miss every other game, so he wasn't the greatest.
>>65645554
he was the greatest despite that. makes him even greater t b h
Lampard
>>65644415
Gerrard was a better all round player and leader, particularly in his prime, although Lampard was better in his latter years than Gerrard.
Just a shame that Gerrard's entire career gets discarded because he literally slipped away his team best chance at the title in 24 years, after saying "this does not slip" 2 weeks earlier.
>>65644415
Add Vieira and Keane, so we can have debate.
>>65645486
tottenham fans are this delusional
>>65644415
Gerrard
He sacrificed his one shot at the title for our lels
This will not be forgotten
Rest easy scousebro
>highest scoring midfielder in prem history
>peaked for 2 years and severely declined eventually losing his team the title
oh boy I wonder who is better
>>65644568
JUSTICE
>>65645084
>tfw one of your countrys best ever sides was managed by kevin keegan
>>65645118
>david james
What
>>65645204
Euro 2004 was the only time most players were at their best. Also Rooney and Owen up front. Really could have won that one
>>65645449
For approximately 5 mins yeah
>>65645418
Because they tried putting Lampard and Gerrard next to eachother in midfield, instead of putting a holding midfielder next to Gerrard and having Lampard play directly behind the striker. Even after Scholes retired.
>>65646629
terry henry agrees t b h. said king was the best centre half he ever played against
