All of the three are great all round midfielders. I always say that Scholes is an orchestrator with an out of this world technical ability. Lampard had an exceptional eye for goal and was a machine. Gerrard was prob the most versatile player I've ever seen, the X-Factor thing with Gerrard.. and Rio touched on this, its his ability to do the Spectacular and the Fantastic. He was named Captain Fantastic for a reason.

Doesn't matter if Scholes isn't your favourite player, because he's probably your favourite player's favourite player

All 3 outstanding midfielders. For me of course i would say Scholes. One thing that should be noted, Chelsea and Liverpool managed to do well once Gerrard and Lampard left respectively. Since scholes absense, there’s not been any player that come and gone in our club that has filled that void. That should tell you he was a different player. We’ve found it really hard to replace him. 1. Scholes 2. Gerrard - just because he’s more of a complete midfielder imo. He helps attack gets a few goals and assists whilst helping with the defense, plus he’s a leader and more versatile than the two. He’ll leave everything on the line in a game. Tbf if people said Gerrard is better out of the 3, i wouldn’t necessarily complain and would understand. 3. Lampard - i love lamps, the midfielder that possessed the more attacking nature out of the 3. He’d get 20+ goals and 10+ assists. Icl i would love him on my team cuz when the strikers are down, he’d be that extra push to step up and you need that.

Yes he had an eye for a hollywood pass that not many can pull off (that certainly Frank couldn't), but doing that once or twice a game is incomparable to what Scholes was doing from a passing perspective for over 10 years. Scholes was completely controlling the games tempo, he had the brain of a machine and knew exactly where everyone was at any moment. Its abit like saying 'Pogba can do what Xavi did', just because he can ping a flashy 40 yard ball a few times. Theres abit more to it than that.

Gerrard played 46, 375, that's more than 10000 minutes over Scholes, yet the amount of goals they scored was similar. Scholes was the more consistent scorer, the stats back it up.

I seen a game against spurs, when dembele was running us ragged. He was destroying us. Spurs were winning the game and scholes was older, maybe his last season. But he came on either at half time or after and I’ve never ever seen even until this day, a player come on and change the game like that. He didn’t score or assist I don’t think, but he ran the midfield on his own. He was one touch passing around players moving into space and getting it back, being completely press resistant and then firing balls to the wing or to the strikers. He completely change the tempo of the game and the result too. He made spurs go from pressing us in our own half and constantly breaking on us, to pinning them back in their own box. Best performance I’ve ever seen from a midfielder.

Thats a ridiculous way of looking at it for me. They've all played out their careers. You've seen everything they've done, the goals they've scored, assisted and games they've dominated. And you want to decide which was the best not by what they actually accomplished in their careers but by creating a "what if scenario" that puts one of the three at an advantage. Gerrard was the one who was able to show he could put a team on his back because he was in the weaker team where he was clearly the best player. You can't just say the others would never be able to do what he did because we didn't see them play in weaker teams, meaning they never got to showcase those attributes on a weekly basis. I could quite easily flip your argument and say could Gerrard do what the others did for Liverpool and Chelsea? No. Because he would've been surrounded by world class players and could no longer the "the man" that the team relied on. Similar to how Grealish thrived at Villa but is just another face in the crowd at City. I'm sure that wouldn't have been the case but I'm just flipping your argument to show how it makes no sense.

That's like saying Maradona didn't reach his full potential because he spent most of his career at Napoli. The player did what the player did. If their career was ruined by injuries in some way then fair enough but Gerrard played regularly football for almost 20 years. We saw his entire career and that's what we use to judge him. You can't arbitrarily pick him out and say he would've been better in X team so that elevates him whereas this other player would've been worse in another team so that brings him down a few legs. I can give you the reverse of your argument. Lampard spent his entire time at Chelsea surrounded by superstars and he stood out above them all. Claude Makelele, Michael Essien, Ballack etc. Not only did Lampard never lose his place but he was the main man despite all those other stars. People say Gerrard carried his team which makes him so good but Lampard and Scholes never got the opportunity to carry their teams. For all we know they would've done the same or better. Maybe Lampard wouldn't have slipped. You see how you can use hypotheticals to twist a narrative any way you want. It's best to just judge them by how good they were on the pitch. Not like I'm underrated Gerrard by doing that either. Still think he was better than Scholes and on par with Lampard.

Lampard is the best overall midfielder in Premier League history, goals, assists and longevity. He also holds the record for most consecutive games played by an outfield player in the Premier League.

so what lamps has better stats than zizou does does not make him better tho

Very hard to compare different players. Not enough talk about defense, heading and longevity which might be deciding stuff.

A team of 11 Scholes v 11 Lampards v 11 Gerrards. Who wins? There's your answer.

Scholes was probably the most technically gifted, Lampard was the best goal scorer but for me gerrard was the most complete midfielder of the 3 & the best leader on the pitch you could ever ask for

Guys where’s the rest of the video, or is this weeks only 12 minutes long ?

Gerrard was easily the best all round player of the 3 . Zidane said at one point when he was in his pomp Gerrard was the best player in the world at the time . If I ever had to get any player in the world to play for my life I’d count on him that’s coming from a Chelsea fan . All fantastic players though.

Great passing range , awesome long pass. Nasty in the tackle Brave The passion and determination alone should end this conversation. Much more the complete player .

No it's that Gerrard had no weaknesses, he grabbed games by the scruff the neck in a weak Liverpool team n won them big trophys if he had better players around him they would've won way more trophys.

Exactly which is why Scholes is the best out the 3. None of them 3 tho come close to Iniesta at all. I would say tho Scholes and Xavi are even but Iniesta is on another level!

Over a season Scholes contributes more to a team then frank and Gerrard they might get more goals and assists but Scholes will change a game and have a bigger and more consistent impact

In the first half of Scholes career he got as many goals sometimes more . People just remember him as a deep player,he started as a number ten really and box to box "Scholes means goals" was the chant! He could of played Lampard role forever but he wanted to be more involved like Keane did

All 3 are different players. Scholes was definitely the best of the lot he should be compared to the likes of pirlo and xavi of recent years.

So much contradiction in this comment and Gerrard was better than Pirlo so that don't even make sense

I think I would pick Lampard the amount of goals Lampard he got from midfield and he could pass tackle free kicks etc too. All 3 are the best British midfielders in the last 30 years and they lasted they managed to keep their form through out their entire careers what a lot of players can't do.

As a Chelsea fan, i would say Gerrard.

05:30. Haha. Let's see the arsenal fan say the same thing about Henry, who shined in Wenger's arsenal team that played for him.

finally Mckola stepping up levels

great debate but shouldnt even be a debate lol. sat nav everyday of week and every other sunday

I think people overlook how good Lampard was. People say Lampards goals came cause of the players around him but didn’t Scholes not have an amazing team around him as well ? Lampard could strike a ball with both feet, had an incredible range of passing, he had decent feet (not amazing dribbling), he could tackle, very intelligent player, was good in the air had amazing positional awareness, like Lampard wasn’t just goals his allround game was elite Imo, I think Gerrards the best out of the three, then I’d go Lampard then Scholes. It’s not a massive gap between them but I think that’s how I’d rank them.

Scholes, no question

When’s the whole episode dropping, much prefer the whole sauce rather than a taster...

Deep breath, here goes...A lot of fans on social media that love to compare the three are either too young to know what they're talking about or it's just plain simple bias, letting club allegiances colour their opinions. All of a sudden we're going to try and rewrite history as if the man that Ancelloti, Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho and Lippi all tried to sign, some on multiple occasions, was "overrated" lol. Unlike Scholes and Lampard, Gerrard never once had the best team in the league, his club let him down. Closest he came was 08/09, but they were up against one of the greatest Untied sides we had, if not the greatest, of all time. Most of Gerrad's career Liverpool were the 3rd-7th best team (sorry Liverpool fans) and for most of that, I'd say 90% of the time, he carried donkeys. Can you imagine Scholes or Lampard ever having to play in midfield alongside the likes of Christian Poulsen, Charlie Adam, Nick Barmby, Salif Diao, Alberto Aquilani, Igor f*cking Biscan, Jonjo Shelvey, Joe Allen, Jay Spearing, Boudewijn Zenden, Joe Allen, a Jamie Redknapp towards the end of his career, Mohamed Sissoko, a 32 year old Paul Ince, Lucas Leiva, Danny Murphy, a young pre Klopp Jordan Henderson for the overwhelming majority of their career? How many of them would get into those United or Chelsea title winning/contending teams? And that's just the midfielders. All three were incredible players, but for what was asked of him, it's Gerrad who did more with less. Would have loved to have seen him playing for a few years in a world beating side, Juve, Milan, Chelsea, Madrid or even us at UTD! lol. I mean, they all at one stage or another wanted him. Loyalty got him love and adoration from his own supporters, not many medals and a lot of butt hurt football fans of rival clubs sadly.

England could’ve played a 3-1-3-2. With either Gerrard or Scholes at that 1 spot in front of the defense but it’s not a position for a defender but a role player.
