Gerrard

Liverpool's captain doesn't just score plenty of goals, his back catalogue is crammed with spectacular sizzlers, the sort that raise the roof and carry the crowd along on a wave of emotion. Not only that, he's always had the knack of rising to the occasion, demonstrated recently by strikes in back-to-back Merseyside derbies.

That's partly why Gerrard is worshipped at Anfield. The fans know their No 8 invariably delivers on cue, thanks to a famous flair for seizing the moment. More so than Lampard, this swashbuckling character relies on his instincts, especially when a tight game cries out for inspiration.

As a result, he probably takes more risks than his counterpart in possession, which inevitably leads to the odd ball going astray. But Gerrard has tempered his ambition over the years, those hit-and-miss 'Hollywood' passes attempted much less. Also with age comes better judgment in the tackle. He rarely gets lured into taking drastic action. Red mist and late lunges seem a thing of the past in someone well aware of his on-field responsibilities.

That growing maturity, what's more, has made the 28 year-old more responsive to playing somewhere other than in his favoured central position, even though that doesn't happen much with Liverpool these days. Rafa Benitez either plays him in the middle or as a second striker.

He can do both brilliantly, too, aided by a prodigious capacity for running that has just about reached its peak. If Liverpool blow it this year, it will have nothing to do with their dynamic captain.

Lampard

In contrast to Gerrard, it is easy at times to miss the contributions of this highly motivated individual such is the wonderful simplicity of his passing game. One or two touches, he rarely takes more when that middle ground becomes unbearably congested.

There is no-one better at it either; no-one more skilled in the art of the quick-fire pass under pressure, having expertly worked out distances and angles before the ball arrives at his feet.

[b]Those calculations often result in a diagonal first-time pass over the top where, in the good times, Didier Drogba could be seen racing away. If that's not on, Lampard will choose something a little more conservative, if equally impressive in terms of peripheral vision and ability to spot the right pass in the blink of an eye.


From a positional point of view, he is probably more disciplined than Gerrard, more suited to following a rigid game plan. Never was this firm grasp of tactics better showcased than during England's 4-1 win in Croatia last September when Lampard sat deep to provide defensive cover – a performance all the more worthy given his natural game.

Arriving in the box with exquisite timing and hitting the target with a snap shot – now that's more his style. Nobody in the world, I think, has done it for so long at the top level with quite so much success.

An unquenchable thirst for practice undoubtedly helps. There aren't many footballers who can honestly say they've done everything humanly possible to reach their full potential. Lampard can. The ultimate pro, he's a credit to the game.

Conclusion

The statistics speak loud and clear. Over the last eight years, Lampard has scored more goals than Gerrard and contributed more assists in a Chelsea side winning two Premier League titles. Difficult to argue against such stunning figures.

Gerrard, on the other hand, leans more towards romance, as close as they come to Roy of the Rovers, more impulse than efficiency as a one-man driving force. Two years younger, he's probably a bit fitter as well. That's why, if pushed, I would have him just ahead on points in a straight comparison.

ritchboy:
Lampard cant even do anything Ibime listed except score. The most unforgivable of them being his inability to dictate play. A central/attacking midfielder who cant dictate play is a disgrace.
While Gerrard gets in the center of the action Lampard anonymously strolls round the field for 90 minutes waiting for his team-mates to win a penalty so he can score.
you are the biggest fool on earth.! Its confirmed by the Guinness book of world record

Ibime:
And you've always yarned nonsense. . . . . ALWAYS.

The only thing Gerrard has over Lampard is a burst of pace.

Is Gerrard even a midfielder?

No Xabi Alonso, no Liverpool. Gerrard cant even control his midfield. Eeediot!!!

When it comes to passing, assisting, scoring, ground covered, tackling, dictating the midfield etc. . . . Lampard >>>>>> Gerrard
I thought i was the only one that knowsbetter about being a Disciplined Mid-Fielder than a Joker. . .

Alonso, Xavi, Fabregas , Petrov , Sneidjer , should be compared to Lampard not Gerrard. .

@DK

check this word in Bold . . .very funny,

harmeenut:
Why all these rantings. Is Arsenal the only club in EPL. Keep on ranting while the gunners keep moving on. B4 the begining of the season, you taunt Arsenal to place 7 in the table, 6 weeks ago, you taunt them to drop out of the top 4, but the team is close to coming 2nd on table with 3 points adrift the league leader, of course the worst is still coming for your teams & you will face the unwanted reality of having Arsenal making the title a 3-horse race instead of your predicted 2-horse race.

Gunners till I die grin
