The Great Debate - Gerrard or Lampard ?
-
As with title of this thread... It has been donkey months since this debate started and it is still going on and on and on... Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard to play in the centre of midfield for England?
Currently Lampard holds that position and Gerrard is push out to the right... If you have to drop one of them, who would you drop? Any reason?

How come all support Gerrard? Why no Lampard supporters here?

Dun tell me here also got anti-lampard campaign hor??Originally posted by zocoss:How come all support Gerrard? Why no Lampard supporters here? -
Nah... this is a straightforward question that has been asked many times by people all over England... The question is will changing one person in the middle change the team? Could he bring something else different to the setup and make the team more forceful?Originally posted by turbo_drift:Dun tell me here also got anti-lampard campaign hor?? -
Hmmm.. Well.. Personally i think Lampard playing style isn't really good compare to Gerrard.. I admit that Lampard maybe good at creating chances but i think he's really ain't good enough compare to Gerrard..Originally posted by zocoss:Nah... this is a straightforward question that has been asked many times by people all over England...

Gerrard, on the other hand, had the upper hand.. He has the influence compare to Lampard.. Gerrard can captain the side well and make sure the team won't fall apart (correct me if I'm wrong)..
And Gerrard can defends too (u seldom see Lampard donig the defensive jobs)..

they shud play the both of them in central midfield, and let both of em abandon their defensive duties. meaning giving the both of them license to roam.

gerrard

Didn't they did that at the WC... and no one knew whose duty was it to defend or attack at times... I think it would be best to put Gerrard in the middlle so that Lennon can play in his preferred position on the right as well... Lampard... maybe move him to the left or drop him completely if no choice...Originally posted by stellazio:they shud play the both of them in central midfield, and let both of em abandon their defensive duties. meaning giving the both of them license to roam. -
nope, at WC gerrard was the one with more defensive duties, thats why u seldom see him bursting infront. and thats why u see lampard getting so many shots.Originally posted by zocoss:Didn't they did that at the WC... and no one knew whose duty was it to defend or attack at times...

so anyway since england's left hand side is weak, maybe the left back can sometimes move centralized abit infront as an acting dm.
anyway if u notice the way england play, they always pass to the same player one. -
Gerard.... look at the interests from mega clubs, they can't be wrong.... Lamp on the other hand... well not versitile as Gerard and did badly in WC -
England not only have 2 good midfielder, there r many better than them.
-
Yeah precisely... Both of them like to attack but by putting gerrard and lampard in the middle together, they lose the quality of gerrard where it matters. Cos he being an attacking player as he is, sometimes leave his position that's where Hargreaves came into the picture and became the best performer for England. But gerrard couldn't go all out cos lampard was there. So in the end... They got into each others way? And lampard keep shooting blanks...Originally posted by stellazio:nope, at WC gerrard was the one with more defensive duties, thats why u seldom see him bursting infront. and thats why u see lampard getting so many shots.

Since lampard plays for chelsea on the left, why don't they move him there and let gerrard and lennon have their preferred spot? -
Well, Paul Scholes don't want to play for them anymore or there will be more options...Originally posted by T.Ryousuke:England not only have 2 good midfielder, there r many better than them. -
club side, both are very different..
Lamps scores goals from midfield... and popping up to score important goals.. in that, he makes the team look better than it is sometimes... especially when they played badly and really didn't deserve those games..
Stevie G, he almost singlehandedly dragged Liverpool to a lot of success when the rest of the team was mediocre.. one of the most telling was last year's FA Cup.. and in the last days of Houllier, he was the one who dragged the whole team into the Champs League position...
but in terms of sheer presence, Stevie G has the edge... when played in the correct position...
notice how good Liverpool is when Sissoko is injured.. and how crap they are when Rafa keeps putting Sissoko in the position where Stevie G should be -
i meant letting them both abandon their defensive duties. meaning they can stomp forward at any chance, without any defensive responsibility.Originally posted by zocoss:Yeah precisely...

the left of chelsea and left of england(winger) is different. -
I just wondered didn't anyone learn anything from the WC?
-
in another thread i actually said that england should give more time for the 4-3-3, since most of their players play for the big clubs that adopts this formation.
but after 1 or 2 matches and it didn't worked out, ppl criticized it, when frankly speaking the 4-4-2 didn't fare any better. -
its gona be steve G
-
Gerard... he can drag the whole team up juz on his performance. Look at how many times he saved liverpool's ass in the last few seasons...

bye bye lampar d
