My favourite current player is Rickie Lambert, but I think our best player is probably Adam Lallana. Team would be lost without him

Good article in my opinion, although I must disagree with you.I think that both Lampard and Gerrard are world class players. The great Zinedine Zidane has come out and defended Gerrard, claiming that at his peak he was the greatest midfielder in the world. This is a bit generous in my eyes s the likes of Xavi and Pirlo were firing on all cylinders at this time, but he may have a point. Steven Gerrard doesn’t really have any weaknesses. He can score ridiculous goals, his passing is still unparralled in the Premier League and he has a great defensive game too. The likes of Xavi and Pirlo, Scholes and Seedorf arent as complete as he is as a midfielder. In way,hes the ultimate midfielder,and in my view, the best of the Premier League era. Theres a common consensus that, while brilliant, Lampard was just never quite as good, and I think that only a Chelsea fan would argue otherwise. His goalscoring is oustanding, better than Gerrard’s although he has played with better players, but his defensive qualities don’t even compare with Gerrard and his passing probably isn’t quite as good either. Still, he has been a fantastic player, and in my opinion, a world class player.

Oh, and I notice that Roy Keane has been getting a bit ofa bashing here in the comments. Well Im from Dublin and it is widely accepted in Ireland that he was far and away our best ever player. Im not sure he was as good as Gerrard or Lampard, but he was fantastic. That much is indeniable

Was Fergie right about Gerrard and Lampard?
