That would wash except for the elephant in the room that he never took games by the scruff of the neck for England either. His short passing is as any Premiership midfielders short passing is. My opinion is were it not for his goalscoring ability, Frank Lampard would be a nondescript, run of the mill player.
Except he's statistically created more chances than any other player in the history of the PL (except perhaps for Giggs?). Nondescript indeed.
Two things we'll never agree on, Bill. Politics and Frank Lampard.
