carragher & neville debated who's the best between gerrard vs lampard vs scholes. of course, both of them were biased to their previous clubs.....

however, what do you guys think? is lampard the best? is it scholesy or gerrard?

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher answered your tweets on Monday Night Football and the hot topic of debate was: Who is the best - Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard?

These three midfielders have over 1300 Premier League appearances between them and 539 goals in the top flight, so how do you pick who is the best?

Sky Sports football expert Carragher puts his former Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard top of the pile, saying: "They are three world class players. Top for me though is Stevie, the reason he is top is in terms of his big game influence, in Istanbul and in Cardiff.

"Frank Lampard also for the same reason, he scored the winner in an FA Cup final, scored the goal that won Chelsea the league for the first time. He's slightly ahead of Scholes for me."

Former Manchester United defender Neville somewhat disagreed with his Monday Night Football colleague, saying: "Paul Scholes is the best player I've ever played with. He's a unique talent. He controls the tempo of the whole football match.

"I'll take the Scholes of 2004-2010/11 as the very best. He's similar to Xavi and Pirlo in his ability to control the tempo of a whole match. Winning games is not just about scoring the goals. People used to ask why Manchester United scored so many late goals, it was because they used to knacker teams out for 85 minutes."

StarBoard: We got away with that error.
If we didn't win, I don't know what elampiro and Bingonya would be saying here.

what else would they say?
rooney is rusty, he needs time. his head was bruised by phil jones, his wife is expecting a baby, van persie is not passing to him or giggs didn't play. a professional footballer shouldn't be caught making such errors at that very crucial moment of the game.

dayokanu: Absolute tosh. I'm sure you even dont believe the rubbish youre spouting

Manure played 6 games and only won 2 vs Otelul Galatians. Basel and Shaqiri comprehensively molested Vidic and friends

stop plumbing the depths of idiocy....
every man & his dog know fergie has been dumbing down on CL group games for aeons.....he takes league games even more important than CL games. i have asked you to print the line-ups in 11/12 season & see for yourself.

at least united qualified for the group state - unlike bayern who couldn't even qualify in 07/08 and got their assës handed to them by zenit. wasn't the aggregate 5-1?

BinghiNya: All of you that cursed, abused rooney, elampiro and I should better apologize out of shame. Rooney is the best

e no go better for rooney - i cursed him then and i am still cursing him now. his reluctance to pass the ball to van persie ruined his almost flawless performance. 2-0 became 1-1 because of that stüpid decision. a bigger team could have made us pay dearly for his miss.

dayokanu: Only a toad like yourself would claim a coach didnt take crucial CL games seriously when he hasnt qualified

So what did he take serious?

that's fergie for you - he treats CL group stage like carling cup. he uses those games to increase the value of his reserve players in case he decides to sell them.

dayokanu: Wasn't the white Pele Vudic and co on the fuels when they were mauled by Shaqiri and Basel

fergie didn't take that the games seriously then. by the time he knew what has happened, united got caught out & they paid dearly for it. were they not games fergie was using to blood young players & the unfit ones?

roll out the line-up of the group games we played that season & you would know fergie took the piss & i was glad he paid for it. by last season, he took the games seriously - we bagged 12 points out of 12 before pissing off the last 2 group games as usual.....

dademola: they shud be copping such stats only in man utd vs barnsley games

embarrassing stats and bundesliga's golden boot winner was on the pitch. it's a disgrace to bundesliga.

dayokanu: Has anyone ever defended the Champions League?

at least - make the final to show you are a true champion....

dayokanu: Destroyed yet bayern qualified

The same Bayern that are defending European champions mauling everything on their way

let's see how they would defend it this season. your nemesis is in dortmund! we shall revisit this later in february.


ronaldo is a machine - another hatrick tonight! i am sure it's his 4000000th hatrick in his career. he was such in a beast mode.

dayokanu: Bottom line Bayern won the Super cup and humiliated another EPL club

2-2 is not humiliation....you need to learn some english!

Manure cant make the top grade in the Bundesliga and I'm sure Dortmund and bayern in EPL would alternate the top slot

hahahaha - the same bayern wenger's boys destroyed @ allianz arena last season?

SailorXY: Good game for the neutrals, nice improvement for the fans.. our penetration was not as drab, I think the work is still in progress & we can see a better midfield coordination. I hope Valencia keeps it up, Rooney & RvP should know they are teammates not rivals! Rio should join Giggs on the bench please & Kagawa should be a first 11 player *still need to put on some upper body weight *

this is rivalry - van persie should have slapped rooney for squandering this chance @ 1-0.

dayokanu: The basel that knocked Man utd out was the same team Bayern used to break record.

You league is substandard. Forget what happened years ago. EPL is a second rate league.

No be Chelsea another epl team we molest for the super cup some weeks back

that was the same chelsea team that won the champions league on your home soil. 10-man chelsea decapitated bayern & you needed a goal mouth scramble to restore parity in the 121st minute.

dayokanu: If Man utd was in the bundesliga they would be in 3rd division.

It must be a new low for ppl to roll out drums for beating a team that has never won their own domestic league

united in 3rd division & leverkusen is 3rd in the top division??

dademola: go sidon jare!! ur league is wack!! like cooger rightly pointed out, crystal palace gave us more problems than leverkusen! this game was a perfect opportunity for darren fletcher to test himself.

giggs & bebé should have started. this was exactly what i was telling starboard giving props to a shyte bundesliga side. if leverkusen were in the premier league, their relegation would be confirmed by december....

dayokanu: If you dont know something isnt it better to keep quiet

Lars Benders main position is Central midfield, Obviously he has played other positions like Right Back and Right midfield occasionally like almost every other midfielder

you are a consummate rëtard....
i showed you a breakdown of his positions in all the league games last season. he managed to cop more than half of the assists of his career playing as RM and you are here talking nonsense.....how then can you compare his stats to carrick or makelele?

Schweinsteiger man position is central midfield he has played Left back right midfield and left midfield too

Phillip Lahms main position is right back but has played left back and central midfield
Below is transfermarkt description

it seems you have traded your IQ for a plate of shepherd's pie. i don't care about the description or how many games schweini played in the LB - the crux of the matter is lars bender copped 6 of his 11 total career assists playing as RM last season. argue against that and stop showing me descriptions, you fool!

dayokanu: Lars Bender is better than every man Utd midfielder was exactly what I said.

he came on and contributed nothing....lars bender my foot! he's not better than cleverley.

Isnt it shameful you lot are rolling out drums for beating a club who have never won the Bundesliga in History?

i think it's shameful you never knew lars bender played on the flanks for leverkusen until you got schooled as usual. you quietly backtracked from that argument to pursue frivolities.

dayokanu: Show one post where I mentioned Kiessling who couldnt make the German NT.

The past 2 World cups BL players have been top scorers.

Just last CL at least 2 BL players outscored every EPL player

they played more games - common sense should tell you they would score more goals.

your league is rubbish.....vidic ate kießling for dinner.

dayokanu: Only tools would be celebrating winning vs a team who have never won their local league in history.

we don't care - united battered your team. it was a mismatch. it's like watching a pitbull in a fight with a white rabbit.

Hugoboi: . Shouldn't you be in bed now?

don't mind the tool....
he was waxing lyrical about kießling before the game. vidic made him his bitch all night. he won no single aerial duel against vidic & the dude scored 25 league goals last season in the bundesliga - it tells you the quality of their league is horrible.

dayokanu: Bayern sodomised the record EPL champs home and away to win the CL in 2010 and molested them again in 2009

where's the södomy?
bayern 4-4 man utd. how's 4-4 södomy??

Chelsea won the EPL just 3 seasons ago, When was the last time Leverkusen won the BL?

who cares about that - it says a lot about our league the top four teams have won the premier league. it's not the case in bundesliga. what a horrible league!!!!

BTW just 4 months ago 2 Bundesliga team were taking a dump in Wembley

wembley is no home to any football club in england. chelsea destroyed bayern on their home soil to win the CL. that would definitely hurt more. losing a CL final on home soil? bayern are a disgrace.

dayokanu: EPL record champions at home defeated Leverkusen 4-2

Yes Leverkusen who have never won the Bundesliga in its history

Lets roll out the drums

utd defeated the best bundesliga team on a neutral ground @ camp nou. bundesliga is a shyte league if this is the 3rd best team there. no bundesliga team can beat chelsea 4-2.

superstar1: The score ought to have been 6 - 2 and kagawa was a liability in this game. Maybe he is still match rusty

kagawa played well - what game did you watch? he was tidy, knitting passes & causing all kinda problems against leverkusen's right back. kagawa/evra axis did more than valencia/smalling offensively.

i think rio should rest on sunday. he's so unsure of himself these days. smalling should join vidic in the central defence and rafael can play as a RB.

Purist: How on earth did RVP miss that??

the pace of the ball was too strong. it was a horrible miss. it's as bad as the ronaldo miss some seasons ago.

full time..

4-2 but we can do better than this!!!

Hugoboi: Where is dayokanu and his bundesliga bulls?

dead & buried!
crystal palace's 10 players gave us more troubles.

see rio conceding a corner & letting this shyte team score a 2nd goal. what a miss by RVP.

hahahaha
kießling coming off - vidic räped him inside out.


goalllllllllllll - valencia!!!
what a counter attack.....ashley young is a sprinter. bundesliga destroyed.

Emperoh: Elampiro no go gree person hear word in another 5 days!!

Starboard, Andre, go and load 8GB!!!

with his hot & cold performance? i doubt it.

what a pass from de gea....

young comes on - my golden boy! we need one more goal to blow these nazis away. this isn't bundesliga.

Purist: For the first time in a really long time, Valencia's having a pretty good game.

i noticed he's been crossing early instead of running to the bye-line before crossing.

that chance rooney missed still haunts me. what a plank!!!

goalllllllllll
rooney makes up for his miss.

van persieeeee

what a goal - he's too good!!!!
see tekkers.....van persie scores with class.

Purist: Unbelievable! Can't believe Rooney missed that chance.

And now they equalize almost immediately!

he's not been passing to RVP in the box - i dunno why he feels he can win a golden boot. every intelligent striker would pass that ball to RVP.

rooney is a fool....
what a chance - this dude lacks common sense.

now bayern equalised.....what a fool rooney is. same passage of play & we conceded a goal when rooney should have passed to RVP.

afrodoc: : Omo :
I dey work. How r d boys playing?

palace gave us more troubles. vidic has destroyed kießling.

dayokanu: SIdney Sam plays on the right side of midfield. You are just an 1mbecile

you are a mongolian social reprobate...
lars bender was on the flank for most of last season games. are you a fool?

He is better than every United midfielder
Manchester United are monitoring Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender.

you have the IQ of a mollusc
it's a disgrace you don't even know bender played primarily on the flank last season. count the number of RM positions he copped last season, you disgraceful pubic louse....

fellaini is like a lawnmower on that pitch....he's getting stuck in & winning the 50-50 balls.

Hugoboi: Evra's constant overlapping is really leaving the left flank exposed. Dude should chill on dem runs jare!

it's called an overload....
evra & kagawa are doubling up on leverkusen's left back and we are more dangerous from that side of the pitch than valencia's side. evra is doing really well on that left side.....

what a goal....

see van persie dicing leverkusen's defenders....what a goal by rooney!!!

dayokanu: This is why you are so dull.
I can tell its soccer illiterates who spew out Stats randomly without watching games

you are a tool - lars bender often play on the right side of a midfield.

Tell us the stats of Carrick who plays a similar role for Man Utd and is man utd best midfielder. Or whats Schweinsteigers stats or whats Gundogans Stats.

carrick has never played on the flank for man utd. you are genetically daft!

Players that play a similar role to lars bender

i dunno players who play a similar role to a nonentity like lars bender. he's shyte!!!!

dayokanu: Bayer Leverkusen best player Lars Bender is missing due to injury. Teenager Emre Can replaces him to get his debut in the Champions League

God save una

excuses have started flying in - who isn't missing a player? united also misses the best winger in england. if leverkusen bites the dust, they would say it was because lars bender didn't play.

bender - 11 goals + 11 assists in 7,426 league minutes. leverkusen must be a shyte team if bender is their best player.
