GERRARD OR LAMPARD

Someone mentioned pogba and Herrera asif it was a compliment for a woeful Utd side

Well there isn't any real loser in this argument, i mean you'd be happy with either or....
but for me it's Lampard. As been stated, and it's the No:1 Fact in all of this, Gerrard never won the Prem.
Lampard proved his worth. And became a great player. And won multiple league trophies.

For me when Gerrard talks about the league competition, it carries the same weight as Robbie savage... they won the same amount.
Gerrard is a winner at tournament football. It's a different mentality altogether, he doesn't know what it takes to be a true Champion over a course of a season, standing tall after 9 months.
And so with Lampards record there is no doubt, he gets the nod over Gerrard every time.

Gerrard won

Lampard never won the league, Chelsea did. He was part of a team, an important part and a great player but trophy counts aren't the deciding factor in how good an individual is. Gerrard could have went to any team in the world and won league titles but he didn't and for me that's not a negative it's a positive.

Overall Gerrard was the better player, the better all round player but Lampard was very close, as the voting showed. An outstanding goalscorer from midfield.

Hey man, no dispute from me. Gerrard was a World Class player... but Lampard knows what it takes to win the league, plus he scored 50/60 more goals.
just my opinion.

Because Chelsea won the league Lampard knows what it takes to win it but Gerrard doesn't? So Traore and Biscan know how to win the CL but say De Yes, who is the best keeper in the world in my opinion doesn't?

Teams win trophies, individuals don't.

I've said you'd be happy with either, but my choice is Lampard. You're saying Gerrard was the better individual player, but then talking about team this, team that.
As if Lampard doesn't bring anything to a team. Lampard time and time again, proved that he was the more effective player, in a Team.

And we are just talking about these two players.
I can pick players who haven't won a league title to play for my team, but here I'm given the choice of Lampard and Gerrard.
Lampards goals and effectiveness and yes the fact that Gerrard doesn't and will never know what it's like to be a League Champion, very different mentality and feeling from being a Cup winner.

Wrong. Gerrard proved he was a more effective player by playing in weaker teams and still performing above the level of Lampard. Its nonsense that when an individual plays for a club who win the league he then has a winning mentality. Gerrard's winning mentality was there for all to see and much higher than the likes of O'Shea and the like.

You're just firing out modern cliches which have no foundation whatsoever. I have absolutely no gripe with those who favour Lampard but his team winning trophies as a reason? I'm not having that nonsense no matter what baseless cliches you try to back it up with.

Well I gave more than one reason why I'd have Lampard in my team. Sure I know what Gerrard will give to a team, but I select the multiple Champion out of the 2.
His record is there for all to see, a high quality player, 4th highest scorer, as a midfielder!! He's a proven champion over the course of a season and Gerrard isn't.
I have more trust in Lampard.

I always preferred Lampard. Gerrard was good but had to be the star man, having all the play go through him to shine. Great cup player, able to grab games by the scruff of the neck in individual moments, never able to be relied on in a title campaign though.

Lampard is the best goalscoring midfielder in English football history IMO, and was also able to be a part of something bigger than him. That's why he beats Roy of the Rovers Gerrard and why it's always been,

Scholes > Lampard > Gerrard.
