Frank Lampard: Steven Gerrard
built 636 days ago
Passing rating - Lampard is not a particular good passer. Very rarely on the deck. Gerrard of pre-Benitez era would go for Hollywood balls all the time. He isnt allowed to do that now.

Months on, in January 2005, that was accepted fact and Frank got forty percent of the vote as Footballer of the Year for 2004. England captain David Beckham - the winner in 2003 - was in sixth place. Wayne Rooney was second (16 percent) followed by Steven Gerrard (9.8), Ashley Cole (9.4) and Shaun Wright-Phillips (7).

Unfortunately the expectations were not to be met, especially for Lampard. Although a midfielder rather than a striker, both Chelsea and England fans have come to expect goals, but he did not score and was woefully off-target with many attempts. He was ... one of the players who missed a penalty in the shoot-out against Portugal that saw England exit at the quarter-finals (Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard were the other unfortunates).

How can you sit there and say with a straight face another manager will be able to sort out Lampard/Gerrard…THEY CAN’T AND WON’T. The only way is to drop one of them- if it could have worked then somewhere in the last 3 years it would have been discovered!

"Frank is a great player," Gerrard told FIFA.com. "Like myself he loves going forward and getting goals and over the past two seasons he is probably the most improved player in the world. He is a credit to himself. He has got everything about his game and at the moment, on current form, I would say that he is the best in the world."
