I have to go with Lampard, here are some of the reasons why:
61 league goals for chelsea in 6 seasons.
223 league appearances for chelsea out of 228.

Gerrard, on the other hand, is a classic box to box midfielder. Can do everything expected of a player in that position be it tackling, passing, driving the team forward and is close to Lampard when it comes to attacking qualities. England's midfield does look badly balanced and I reckon Hargreaves and Gerrard should be the future.
That may be te case,,, but who would you rather have???
A player that scores loads and sets up little,,, or a player who scores less but sets up more???
Stevie G is far better!
Lampard for me.
Lampard has had more assists than Gerrard in the premier league in the last 3 years.
So I'd like a player who scores loads and assists more.
Paul Scholes is better than both of them though
I dont think there is one football pundit or expert that would put Lampard ahead of Gerrard.
The argument about enlgand, when was the last time lampard played without gerrard? and anyway Gerrard gets rested fr pool, lamps doesnt for chelsea. His performances are expected to be worse for england. Even though he has scored more england goals than gerrard
For a player who earns 100k per week I'd expect more from him.
Out of the two, Gerrard is the better, he has far more to his game. Lampard wouldn't be half as good if he didn't have the likes of Makelele and Essien doing all the defensive work behind him.
Far better midfielder than Lampard.
People who prefer Gerrard, choose to use the Makelele/ Essien do all the work for Lamprd argument which doesn't really make Gerrard look any better.
Gerrard is overrated. He tends to score spectacular goals in cup finals and that's pretty much all he does.
This is another reason why I rate Kaka more than Ronaldo. In bigger games Kaka has produced.
Anyhow Gerrard is winning 10-6 in this who is better contest
And Ronaldinho is better than Scholes, but thats not the point.
IMO Gerrard is the better player of the 2
give Tibsy a break - that admission must have really hurt
got these from Wiki and it claims Gerrard has
64 total goals in 6 seasons
of course stats are useless as you can just select the column where Lampard is higher to make a point
I'd have to say Gerrard is better.. just look at England the one who is more versitile and can play all over the park in Gerrard, Lampard can only play in one fixed position and can't even really cover for the defensive duties when Gerrard or other players go forward.
Could you see Lampard playing at right back at the end of a game ?
Of course, there's lies, damned lies and statistics
Stats for Lampard:
61 league goals for chelsea in 6 seasons.
223 league appearances for chelsea out of 228.
Stats for Gerrard in same period:
36 league goals for liverpool in 6 seasons.
193 league appearances for chelsea out of 228.
If you are going to use total goals then Lampard's stats p!$$ all over Gerrards even more. Lampard has 90 goals in 6 seasons
Yes but that viewpoint can be reversed, your team is 2-1 down and you need a goal, Lampard's a far better attacker.
Why's Gerrard always got to keep playing all over the field anyway, have the defenders and strikers gone on holiday?
A couple of years ago it might have been different, but Lamps just seems like an average player of late, hopefully the rest will bring him back up to form again. Even I can admit when he's on form he's great to watch. (as long as he's not playing us!)
