I think Lampard is very underrated , his otherworldly goalscoring ability is almost to his detriment as people forget how good a passer, chance creator he was.

​@@TonishogLampard would have done much better assists and goals in that same team. More technical player, could control, create and pull off the unexpected when it’s needed. the goals he scored or created were mainly due to his own brilliance. he made his teammates, "big names", look better than they did. He worked with all players, any system, and still scored screamers and finals winning passes as standard. It's not even a contest, really.

I am a Gerrard fan, but I am LFC to the core. Lampard, is a fantastic player and if a CFC fan likes him more than Gerrard, then no problem. I don't actually see them as similar players. Gerrard was a true, old school, box to box player, who played multiple roles in midfield, with occassional forays into a 3rd or secondary striker roles. He was clearly faster, and stronger than Lampard, and he seemed to break up play in the middle amd lower thirds of the pitch more effetively. Lampard's strengthes were based on his intelligence, timing, and attacking prowess. He most certainly had a better passing game, he was an excellent tackler higher up the pitch, and I believe a more clinical, consistent finisher. The shame in Englands set-up is they didn't play to eithers strengths anywhere near enough.

Chelsea had the better team at the time. Mourinho was the catalyst. Gerrard could’ve been better if he had a manager like Mourinho.

Lampard was blessed with the best possible ownership situation that spared no expense and built a top 5 team worldwide talent-wise from 2004 on. Gerrard was cursed with the opposite. Various owners who were either cheap, clueless, financially insecure, or even all three. Any difference in their respective impacts on the pitch was negligible, but the gulf between their teams results is easily explained.

Gerrard was a box to box player, who sacrificed part of his career to help his team. Meanwhile Lampard was a alround player, who was able to overcome his onw weakness in the begging of his career. Both were and still is great, but i go with Lampard, which for me was more decisive player in his peak.

Ever since Abramovich bought Chelsea, Liverpool and Chelsea have been forever linked together. The rivalry started at the end of the 02/03 season when Chelsea beat us to clinch a Champions League place, ever since then Liverpool and Chelsea have been right close together as rivals. Then In January 2005 Mourinho wanted Gerrard, Gerrard then ironically scored an own goal in the League Cup final in 2005 which Chelsea won. We then played Chelsea in the 2005 Champions League semi finals which Liverpool won with the infamous “ghost goal”. Gerrard then put in a transfer request to Chelsea after winning the Champions League, then he re signed with Liverpool a few weeks later. In 2006 Lampard came second in the Ballon d’Or with Gerrard coming in third. In 2007 Liverpool beat Chelsea again in the Semi Final of the Champions League on penalties. In the 07/08 season Torres scored his first goal for Liverpool against Chelsea (the club Torres would eventually go to in 2011). In 2008 Liverpool faced Chelsea yet again in the Champions League semi finals with Chelsea winning. in 2008/09 season Liverpool became the first team to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Prem since 2004. In 2009 Liverpool face Chelsea in the Champions League for the 4th time in 5 seasons, with Chelsea beating Liverpool in the quarter finals. In 2010 Gerrard does a back pass to Drogba (I think it was Drogba) so Drogba could score and win the match to help overtake Man United to clinch the title. In 2011 Torres hands in a transfer request and joins Chelsea. In 2014 Gerrard slips against Chelsea as Chelsea beat us which dented our title hopes. In 2015 Gerrard’s last match at Stamford bridge, he gets a standing ovation from the Chelsea fans, and later that year gets a letter from Mourinho who always liked and wanted to manage Gerrard.

That's because the teams that Scholes played in at United weren't necessarily built around him (Roy Keane was the lynchpin of that midfield). Don't get me wrong, he was brilliant but he wasn't put in an unfamiliar situation throughout his career like a Gerrard whom the Liverpool team relied on. Scholes could go missing and it wouldn't be an issue because he was stacked with talent (Cole, Yorke, RvN, Giggs, Rooney, Ronaldo) whereas Stevie G couldn't afford an off day (working with the likes of N'gog, Babel, Smicer, Traore, Cissé, Skrtel, Leiva, Spearing, Carroll).

Lampard was the better player and everyone knows it but wants to push a narrative bcos they played at similar times and wore the same number. If these two players played at two different times and they the same career they had, nobody in their right senses would ever say Gerrard over Lampard. When everyone always talks about Gerrard they always say arbitrary stuff like "memories & moments" and then use that to try and say boost Gerrard over Lampard. Any sane human being would pick Lampard over Gerrard anytime anyday in their starting 11. Men lie, Women lie but Numbers Don't!

Lampards pass to drogba against city in 2008 was superb, outside the boot, if players like messi, or debruyne, modric, people would rave about it for months.

Lamps goal scoring feats may have done him more harm than good as a midfield general. To sum it up, Gerrard was a moment player, Lampard was a consistent performer. Great work Retro team, class above many out there. 👏🏾

No matter what people say about Scholes and Gerrard, they might be better or what not, but Lampard could do what they did, even if some might argue not as well. But nobody can argue that Scholes or Gerrard could have ever done what Lampard did, and that is to have such ridiculous output. Scholes and Gerrard were more magical, yes, but I’d rather have a more efficient player. Gerrard vs Lampard argument goes the same but in reverse for Salah vs Hazard. Every argument one uses to back a Liverpool player, works for the other Chelsea player - goals/assists? Lampard and Salah - plays for the better team? Lampard and Salah - main person who carries the team? Gerrard and Hazard - plays so much deeper? Gerrard and Hazard - more magical? Gerrard and Hazard In the end, it’s all about perspective… some people prefer to watch football as an art. Some are passionate for strong results. And that really shifts our preferences

Lampard played in a team full of world class players and back by Abramovich money whereas Gerrard played in mostly average teams and and bad ownership and had to carry his team.

" right to the very TOP" imagine how many talents English Media tear them apart .

gerrard can hard carry a team

Gerrard was much more complete player, could be a starter at any position on the pitch. I use this metric, line-up 11 Steven Gerrards against any similar team and he is the prohibitive favorite. Rudd Gullit and very few others are potential contenders, but Lampard was underwhelming defensively and isn’t even in the equation, using this measure.

Lampard always!!! Not Chelsea fan!

Lampard is one of the all time greats hands down. To me he's like Ronald Koeman. You can talk for days about what other players could do better but the amount of goals they both scored would put strikers to shame. That being said people tend to forget the pre Abramovich takeover Lampard. Before the Chelsea takeover Lampard was in his mid 20's with about half a dozen England caps to his name scoring 6-8 goals a season. Then he gets Makalele and Essien dominating the midfield and Drogba holding the ball up in the box and he almost overnight became a superstar banging in 20 goals a season. Credit to him for working to stay in that team but that team was perfect for him. Gerrard was world class by the time he was 21. And he literally carried his team for the majority of his career. He didn't have Lampard's stats but he was a machine off the ball. He did way more defensively than Lampard did and was still the second best attacking midfielder in the league after Lampard. Imagine N'golo Kante with 75% of Lampard's attacking stats and that's Gerrard. It's still close in spite of what I said but Gerrard was better. They're the best in PL history though hands down. Zidane told me 😉

I think Gerrard was a better all-round player. Lampard was fortunate that he played in a system at Chelsea where he always had elite holding players behind him (often two) and his main responsibility was in the attacking third. Gerrard had to do everything, I remember Gerrard once in a youth game against West Ham's youngsters playing at right back. I'm not saying Frank wasn't great in that attacking role, he was a superb finisher and very efficient. It's just a shame the England manager/s at the time didn't try a three with Frank ahead of Gerrard & Scholes, rather one of them shoved out wide. A missed opportunity

Lampard was better. He is underrated because Chelsea was more star studded. The Chelsea talisman however was a workhorse who always gave 110% to his teams and in diverse ways and was very dependable on the grand stages.

alaves, dortmund, was there 2001 :D

Maradona was younger than me and he always asked me for moreeeee, on things that he enjoyed 🙏I told him easy papi,the best person I ever met 🙏

Both players are top class professional footballers. Gerrald is more of defensive style and high class technique he possess to show master playship when he is playing defensive midfield. For lampard his style of mastership is Attacking midfielder and he is a world-class super star like Gerrald. Both are deadly midfielders ❤

We love style and skills

Lampard has more goals, assists, chances created, tackles, defensive interceptions and trophies. Also has the higher Balon dor finish out of the two at second to Ronaldinho. This really isn't a debate.

Gerrard..all day, every day. I think the Gerrard/Scholes question is much more difficult to decide.

This gerrard and lampard debate is literally the exact same but the opposite of the hazard and salah debate. One played in a better team and provided more goals and assists, while the other was a one man magic show and carried an average team at times surrounded by the usual chelsea turmoil of managerial changes and no big signings after good seasons

Greatest English footballer … I thought it was one of the starters from the 1966 WC winners.

Bobby Charlton. Gerrard is the best English midfielder of this century, though.

Gerrard all day long for me.

One was a false number 10, and very good at that,, the other the greatest ALL round midfielder in my generation, end of discussion 🙏

Gerrards best seasons came playing as a second striker behind Torres. So your idea of relegating Lampard as a "false 10" falls flat on its face, and is ignorant as well as hypocritical

LOL Gascoigne was on a different level to any British midfielder, ever. Perhaps not the same generation. #YayaToure was better than Lampard and Gerrard around that time, at his peak.

What music you used in the video?
