Zatman Posted September 17, 2013 Author Share Posted September 17, 2013 Gerrard is a tactical liability.. Not sure what your basing this on. He has been brilliant for his only club. If your referring to england I'd suggest the ineptitude Of our national managers. Gerrard could never play in a 2 man midfield. Look at 1st half in Istanbul will tell you he was a liability. Benitez played him on right in 442 then played him behind Torres when they had Mascherano and Alonso to protect him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Scholes is probably the best of the 3, but Scholes and Lampard have always had much better player's around them which helps. Gerrard has carried average Liverpool sides over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Gerrard certainly didn't carry Xabi Alonso or Mascherano. Edited September 17, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) Gerrard could of gone to Chelsea and Fergie admitted trying to sign him on 3 separate occasions but Gerrard chose to stay loyal to Liverpool, his home city club. Infact I remember him actually agreeing to join Chelsea, and then 24 hours later changing his mind. As for selectively mentioning Xabi Alonso and Mascherano, how about I throw you in a dozen Liverpool players over the years who were very average.

Nigel Posted September 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2013 Gerrard is the best for me; The most complete midfielder! Scholes and Lampard are better attackers but for everything else Gerrard edges it. As for the poster who called him a 'tactical liability'.... please!

Frobisher Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 For England, Gerrard has easily been the best of the 3. But they are without doubt the 3 best English midfielders of the last 20 years. Er, Ian Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Gerrard is a tactical liability.. Yep, a great player but Benitez was the one who controlled him by never using him in a 2 man midfield. He's too selfish to play in a tactically disciplined way in that role. Scholes could have played with Gerrard and a defensive midfielder to make a great England midfield but it was always about 442 for too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Scouse bias. Scholes is or was the best footballer out of the three. As Neville said he could control the tempo of a game. The other two cant. Lampard has a great goalscoring record. Gerrard won Liverpool the champions league, but neither are great international player in my view.

The_Rev Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Scholes Lampard Gerrard I think Lampard was more important to Chelsea than Gerrard was to Liverpool during Mourinho's first spell. Their team was built around goals from midfield and Frank Lampard was the lynchpin. As for Paul Scholes? Best English footballer of his generation.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 It should also be noted that both Gerrard and Lampard are monumental words removed whereas Scholes isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
