AlanSkÃrare Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Apparently plays down Lampard's and Gerrard's abilities. A man of his professional pedigree, still feeling the urge to belittle such influential players' ability. I regard him as one the greats to have ever been involved in the game, but that's beyond me. What purpose does it serve? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Gerrard and Lampard are both overrated in this country FWIW. Really? Depends what position we're placing them at. I personally think Lampard is easily one of the greatest midfielders this league has seen in the past 20 years. I'm well aware he has limitations and I'm not saying he's better than certain other midfielders in that time period in other countries, because he's not, but - boring or not - it's impossible to ignore his phenomenal scoring record. It's absurd. That's due to his intelligence, composure and underrated technique. Gerrard, well, I'm obviously biased. He was clearly world-class back in his day but I think his "Captain Liverpool" image masked some deficiencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Gerrard and Lampard are both overrated in this country FWIW. Overrated is harsh. They've probably scored about 400 goals between them from midfield and both won the CL, which is rare for an English player. Probably assisted a few hundred goals between them too.

Trumpet Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Has all sorts of digs at Benitez as I predicted. Accusing him of not using Gerrard properly despite Gerrard having the best years of his career under Benitez. And Gerrard and Lampard aren't over-rated. They aren't even rated by most of other fans. You should just have a look at average midtable team forum (13 teams) that it appears no fan rates them or reckon they can't get in their teams. It's about taking extreme measures. I was watching Gerrard's 100 PL goals the other day, and how the fuck can someone say he was over-rated. It was saddening to see him losing his burst of speed and athleticism which was so apparent in many goals in that video...I guess Ferdinand, Terry, Rooney, etc should get ready to be called over-rated as well as they are approaching their twilight years.

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think the way in that they're overrated is that they were/are excellent players, but what they were capable of doing was exaggerated or added on top of what they were actually capable of by the media/whoever.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I always like Gerrard, despite his amount of goals against us. Fantastic player. My bitterness is more directed at Liverpool for the amount of times they were bailed out by him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
