brummie Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I thought City's performance today was as good an example of a team of mercenaries not giving a flying fuck as I have ever seen. Shocking. Someone on Blue Moon summed it up quite well when they said that they showed today that they are still miles away from being a big club as opposed to a club with a load of money. That's very well put indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Super Frank. Amazing achievement. 1 in 3 over 600 games from a midfielder. Ridiculous One of the very best English midfielders ever. Agreed. Always preferred him to Gerrard. Scholes was better than them both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Wouldn't argue about Scholes. But that's no major criticism of Lampard IMO as Scholes is one of the greatest English midfielders ever too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some go in, some are going anywhere near the target before being deflected in and some fly high or wide. He doesn't beat players like Gazza or split defences with a pass like Hoddle. He ,honestly to me, picks up the ball 25-40 yards out and advances 5-10 yards and shoots. His goal record as I say is fantastic, yet despite that strangely, I find him vastly over rated.

ElDiablo Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Lampard is up there with Scholes. I think people romanticise Scholes a bit because his peak was about 10 years ago and underrate Lampard because he's still playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenkoDaLuz Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm devastated. For me you could play for us in the Wednesday final. Don't care. I'm completely shattered. I used to believe in destiny and justice, but there's no such thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what you define as important in a midfielder, Lampard's goal return means he simply has to be up there for me. Technically Scholes edges it, but a lot of Lampard's attributes such as positioning and timing of runs goes unnoticed a lot of the time because they're not overt and off the ball.

Teasy Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 On the plus side, a Wigan win prevented Man City from overtaking us in the most unsuccessful clubs table. FYP We're joint 8th most successful club in the country ya silly fucker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roy the Irish Magpie Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I feel gutted for the Benfica fans. Porto fans are such dicks they really are I have seen them when they came to Dublin they think they're so great, it would have been great to see Benfica do one over them and hand them a little slice of humble pie, but football is such a cruel game.

Porto play Pacos de Ferreira who are 3rd and have proven very capable this season but I can`t see Porto messing up this one.....and from what I`ve heard Pacos usually bend over for Porto. Always gutting to lose in the 91st minute but even more so for a title deciding game like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portuguese league is a joke and I still can't believe why I care for this. This is a joke. Benfica is in a European final, it's something I used to dream as a kid, and now I don't even care for it. I'm seriously considering quitting football. 3 am and I can't sleep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Lampard is fantastic. A different player from Scholes. He's not just shooting from anywhere, thats what he wants to do.

Tooj Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I think Lampard has been better for England than Gerrard has. Yet I'm not sure what it is but for me at the very peak of their powers I think Gerrard was a better player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
