I think this is a realistic comparison compared to Gerrard vs Messi.
The two are set to face off tomorrow.
Who do you think is the better player and why?
Lampard.
Stevie G is over hyped,arrogant and loves curly wurleys.I'm also sick of liverpool fans saying stevie g is the best mid in the world.Sure he scores lots of goals and does a great job for his team but I think lamps is more consistant and plays less 'hollywood' balls,sure when SG gets his 'hollywood' balls right they are spectacular passes,but more often than not he doesnt.I still think he's a great footballer but I just think Lamperd is better![]()
Yes and fat Frank doesn't play "hollywood" shots into the stands more often then not
Gerrard carries Liverpool, Chelsea carries fat Frank
Gerrard - scores goals, playmaker, can tackle, can play various positions.
Lampard - scores goals, playmaker.
I'd say Gerrard.
What is your opinion Genius, you started the thread, the least you can do is give your opinion instead of sitting on the fence.
Lampard has been better for the national team.
Gerrard is the more complete player. Frank is a good player but stevie g is a level above him.
Brazil star ***a has hailed Steven Gerrard as ‘the complete modern player’ as well as praising Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
“If I had to choose three, I would pick Cristiano Ronaldo, because of his skill and speed; Messi, because of his flair and skills; and Steven Gerrard, who for me is the complete modern player.”
"I love Gerrard's qualities as a player and a leader. Technically and tactically he is the best. His passion is enormous, he means as much for a great team as George Best.
"He is a player who fans can identify themselves with and a man who carries the love for his club on his club badge. There is not another player in the world who combines all those qualities.
"I like him so much more than Ronaldo."
Hollywood BALLS do not = hollywood SHOTS,I was not dissing SG shooting ability
Lampard has been better for the national team.
Imagine fat Frank playing down the left.![]()
Imagine Gerrard not complaining if he doesn't play his favoured position. Imagine Gerrard not playing well when not in his favoured position.
Now imagine this. Gerrard saying "Ok, I'll let someone else hog the limelight for a while, it's a team game"...
Urgh... my head hurts just trying to imagine that
@Genius... 2007? You are taking the one season he was injury prone and putting it out there... How about the fact he played for every game for Chelsea nearly two seasons in a row? That would be like me saying Messi played crap last season... which he didn't... because he was injured... boy you're a piece of work.
@ everyone else... Don't get me wrong. I think Gerrard is currently better than Lampard. But to paraphrase a famous Liverpudlian... "Then again, Lampard is 31"...

Now for what I would have posted had some people left their goggles at home. Gerrard is a superb attacker and a bit better than Lamps if I was to ask who to occupy a certain position. If I was given the chance, even now, to buy a player - it would be Lamps. He would give his all for any team. Gerrard wouldn't play at half the level he does for any other team than Liverpool.
