If I could go back in time, I'd just never call Lampard up to the England side.
Gerrard and Scholes were excellent together.
-------------------
I don't think ( I may be wrong) that England lost a game with Gerrard playing with Scholes.
Sven made a monumental error by splitting this partnership up and moving Scholes. Scholes was a phenomenal player and moving him to accommodate Lampard was a poor decision imo.
Gerrard has at least showed glimpses of what he can do on footballs biggest stage. He has 3 goals in the WC finals tournament. Lampard has none. Lampard has also been afforded the luxury of playing his favoured more advanced position in the vast majority of his caps. Gerrard has been shunted around the team.
Like the OP i have never commented on this subject, but here is my 2 pennies worth, Gerrard is much the better athlete, he is also a much better leader as well. Lampard unquestionably is the better goalscorer and creates more chances than Gerrard. Tackling wise that has never been 1 of Lampards strength's, as for Gerrard he is a better tackler than Lampard but he is not as good as most people make out. Passing ability they are both around the same level, as for dead ball situations i would say that Lampard just edges that but overall there is pretty much nothing between them and if you can only pick 1 of them you either go for Gerrard's leadership qualities or you go for Lampard's goals
gerrad is the better player.
AS a chelsea fan who wanted us to sign Gerrard back when he wanted to leave liverpool i think it is as this...
Lampard is a better goalscorer and passer, he creates probably more chances and can play in a team without wingers.
He is also a better tackler then most people think and probably tactically more astute than gerrard.
Gerrard is a grafter, a better athlete and because of this is seen as a better tackler, he is probably a better "wonder pass" type player even though lampard has done a few too.
He is also better with the ball at his feet running at players than lampard is.
I have always maintained that if i was in a relegation type side id love a player like gerrard whether as if i was in a championship chasing side, like if i was a centre forward a la drogba/crespo/ gomez/van nistlerooy etc i would prefer lampard in my team.

That's 3 more than Rooney too. However both Rooney and Lampard have 3 or more goals in the Euros. Gerrard only has 1. I think the Euros is harder because you haven't got real rank outsiders like New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago who would never win a WC, whereas literally anyone can win the Euros, as we've seen with Denmark and Greece.
The way I see it, Gerrard is an overall better, technical player, but there are facets of the game that Lampard has specialised in which he is better at than Gerrard. Gerrard scores better goals, Lampard makes better use of opportunities to score more goals.

Spurtle, I do't see how you can call Gerrard more technical as his whole game is based on his athleticism.
>>Spurtle, I do't see how you can call Gerrard more technical as his whole game is based on his athleticism.
I'd say his passing and timing of runs into the box and defending are his best attributes.
Lampard times his runs well too. Thats how he's got the majority of his goals.

Gerrard has no tactical discipline. He's like a worse VDV.
Lampard best attribute is his football brain. Very underrated quality.
