Who do you rate the highest?

[O Fenomeno]

I know I rather have Kroos in my side than Lampard due to the fact he is more talented

[O Fenomeno]

Take the goals away

What does Lampard give you?

When Lampard gets mentioned

The two main things are highlighted

He never misses a game

His goalscoring

Lampard is like Kevin Nolan in terms of being billed as CM but their biggest asset is goalscoring not their passing range

I was naive enough to think Lampard was a better player than Gerrard and I actually labelled him WC after his brace against Bayern at the bridge

His goals have masked everything

Like I said he should never been a CM

He should of been SS

Ancelotti was crazy enough to play him at top of the diamond which he failed badly and didn't enjoy being the main creative force instead wanted to be the guy who took pot shots

Porchy is just conservative in terms of what certain kinds of players SHOULD do.

[O Fenomeno]

Man is a CM

CM

CM

CM

I am going to go on google and wiki to see what makes a quality CM

[Kompressor]

Take away Lampards goals and he's merely a decent player,

Take away Zidane's legs and he's a bedridden person who would never of graced a football pitch.

See what I did there.

[O Fenomeno]

He struggled so badly in the diamond

Even the media were shocked because the goals were not flowing as usual

Ancelotti thought Lampard could be his Kaka or Rui Costa

Hence why Ancelotti reverted back to the 4-3-3

[O Fenomeno]

He is done well because of his goalscoring exploits

Yes or No?

[Anderson]

He is done well because of his goalscoring exploits

Yes or No?

Even if this was true...

Why are you tryna discredit goalscoring?

[O Fenomeno]

He works best in a three?

Because the other two done all his work which allows him to take pot shots

Of course he isn't a AM but clearly he isn't a this talented number 8 you make him to be

Without his goals he will be lost

When he retires he will be remembered as a goal scoring midfielder

What a horrible title to have

Compared to midfield genius

[Thizz]

I doubt he'll lose any sleep over it.

[O Fenomeno]

I am doing it to show he isn't what a top CM should be like

See Scholes

[Drift]

why is that horrible?

[Fresh]

Gerrard was as equally a goalscoring midfielder in his day

[O Fenomeno]

I doubt he'll lose any sleep over it.

What is there to doubt about

[The Infamous]

Bruv you cant take away a main attribute that makes someone class 

 

Whats Ronaldinho with out his dribbling/guile?

Whats Pirlo with out his passing?

Whats Buffon with out his reflexes?

 

You cant discredit cos they do something really well which makes them world class

 

I dont really like Lampard but he is a top class AM/CM in his day. You cant be scoring in the CL and Premier League with his consistency if you are some subpar player.

 

People that say Gerrard only shoots hard. Like he cant spray passes,tackle,make the game faster,dribble he has done ALL those things in his career. Just cos someone else dribbles better or shoots better or tackles better or dictates better doesnt mean he isn't or wasnt world class. He can argue that someone like Ronaldinho who is a better dribbler can't tackle or shoot as good as him. Someone like Pirlo or Alonso he can say he is a better tackler,dribbler and shoot than both. Doesnt make Alonso or Pirlo less of a player does it? Take it for what it is and RESPECT Gerrard that is all. 

[The Infamous]

I doubt he'll lose any sleep over it.

init

 

omg that vip2 thread said i wasn't a top class player

 

*looks at CL and premier league titles + all the other accolades*

 

[O Fenomeno]

When he retires he will be remembered as a goal scoring midfielder

What a horrible title to have

Compared to midfield genius

why is that horrible?

What's a CM's job?

To create or take pot shots?

Right there

Is the reason why Lampard was probably rated better than Scholes by Eriksson

Which was why Scholes was pushed to the left of midfield

[O Fenomeno]

What a stupid logic

Ronaldinho is an attacking midfielder

Pirlo is a deep line midfielder

Buffon is a goal keeper

Which makes your point irrelevant

[Anderson]

This is all fraff.

Porchy obviously beleives a CM can only have one role within a team (clueless) and that lampard doesnt fit that role
