  • Sorry about the title, but it's a legit question.
    Frank Lampard is arguably the biggest statistical anomaly in Premier League history. A midfielder that scored more goals than most prolific strikers and still bossed the midfield.
    Having said that, his international career definitely could have been better.
    In today's video, we take a look at how good he really was.

    He finished 2nd behind Ronaldinho in 2005 ballon do'r but in terms of longevity at the top, efficiency and spending his entire prime in the most brutal league in the world, I think 'chubby' Frank did better than most of his contemporaries. I'm a United fan but for me, Lampard > Scholes & Gerrard in terms of productivity and reliability.

      Im also a United fan, I think Gerrard, lampard and Scholes suited their club perfectly, i dont see lampard doing the same thing at united, I don't see Gerrard doing the same thing at Chelsea, I think the club in which they played definitely had an impact on their career. So I actually think there is not better player between them. But if you want to say one is better than the other honestly i respect it. Also if you want to say that lampard was more important for Chelsea than Scholes was for united I respect that and also adhere to that.

      Such an incredible passer he was, one of the best in the world in his prime. He was the brains of that Chelsea team from 2003 until 2010. One of the most intelligent players I've seen. Incredible vision and passing range, brilliant first touch. Always two steps ahead of opponents. A joy to watch im his prime. Coming from an Arsenal fan btw.

    It's surprising that, apart apart from statistics other facets of his game is not much talked about. He was a complete midfielder. An excellent reader of the game. All round midfield engine. Tackling, going forward, tracking back, passing, everything you could expect from a midfielder and more. He seldom missed game due to injury, had excellent work ethic. Game in game out, he was very efficient and consistent. And off the pitch too, the face of the club and a fine gentleman.

      These sorts of statements show clearly that you didn't watch football in the 2000s. I don't think anyone who did really has doubts as to Gerrard and Scholes being better than Lampard. Lampard played almost like a second striker benefitting so much from Drogba's target man profile. Scholes really was at his best as a deep-lying playmaker, and Gerrard played in a Liverpool that was far inferior to both Chelsea and Man Utd, while being the engine of the team, covering the entire pitch.

No maybe not, but they are a bloody lot. I don't care how bloody good you think your favourite midfielder is at dribbling. If they don't score goals or get assists it's meaningless. Saying players with half the goals scored and assists that Frank had and calling them "Way better." is absolutely ridicules.

    I’ve always been a Barcelona fan. But, I’m also a football fan, so there always was a little affection developed towards some teams (thanks to some players particularly).
    Lampard made me feel a side affection for Chelsea, i was young so i didn’t understand why. But now i know it was primarily for the way he played, he always seemed to make the right decision (especially in front of goal). Making successive successful decisions under pressure in football, is the most underrated ability, yet the most important.
    And that’s what separates Messi from the others, and that’s what made Lampard score more goals an be successful (his IQ tells it).

    He is the reason I am a football fan. The first game I ever watched was England-France Euro 2004 when he scored the opening goal. I became a Chelsea fan and have loved him ever since. His penalty against Liverpool in the UCL after his mom's death was emotional beyond words. I hold no ill-will towards him as Chelsea manager, he did what no Roman-era Chelsea manager did before and successfully elevated youth to the first team. SUPER FRANK.

    Your videos are so extremely well done and entertaining, it’s clear you put in a great deal of hard work to bring us this great content, and for that, I just want to say thank you Football Iconic. This has become my favorite channel on CZcams by a mile! That said, it’s nice to see a video that does Frank Lampard justice, the man was a true footballer and a class act, and a big part of why I was drawn to Chelsea when I began watching football myself.

    Lampard when the league is on the line: scores two goals and wins the match and league for his team.
    Gerrard when the league is on the line: S L I P (against Chelsea ironically)

  • @rezarfar
    @rezarfar Před 2 lety +2

    Lampard was a midfield striker, a great hybrid, along with being a hard worker, decent pass accuracy and speed, his weakness was leadership skills and charisma.
    Gerrard had Charisma, Leadership skills and just as good pass accuracy and speed but he wasn't as good in front of a goal as Lamps.
    Scholes is a mixture of the two, he has good pass accuracy, field awareness leadership skills and decent in front of a goal but he was the slowest of the 3.
    Those 3 together are the best midfielders in history by a land slide.

    I would argue that for most of Scholes' career he played a very similar position to Frank Lampard. The majority of Scholes fans who only saw him as an old man sitting in front of the back four spraying passes assume he did that his entire career but he only dropped back into that role in his thirties when his legs started to go as most players do. For the majority of his career he was playing as an attacking central midfielder similar to Lamps or as a number ten for a bit when Veron came in. Scholes spent a lot of time on the field in the oppositions half in his twenties and was probably known more for his goals than for his passing back then. I'm sure he still found his teammates when they needed him to but Beckham was always known as the main passer in the team back then. He was the go to guy for that kind of thing.

    Lampard was criminally underrated. He was far from flashy but he was ridiculously efficient and consistent. He had amazing passing/vision, very good positionally, high IQ, and tactically aware. I think his playmaking was most underrated. He was creative in an unorthodox way

      On forward best they have is rooney. Owen already too old, the other back up is crouch, and Sturridge in later years.
