The present attacking midfielder of the England team Vs the ex-
Both of them are arguably some of the best attacking midfielders for the england side in their generation.

Lampard:I think the main thing he do is to run forward and score goals via long shots.Scored tons of goals with Chelsea for the past few seasons but was off form recently, esp in the world cup.

Scholes:More of a passer than a scorer.Once had a 3 year streak of not scoring for england but scored 131 goals for Man Utd alrdy.More known for his intelligent passes.

You think who is better?Comapre an on-form scholes with an on-form lampard. Who would you rather have in your team?

if you are talking about recent all-time england team, its got to be gerrard – based on his defensive work, or rather, all-rounded skills.

ghimpheng SG

Lampard is better in defense and more defensive than Gerrard if you had noticed

CHoCo^LaTcH SG

haha...given difference in age between lampard and scholes,
Lampard vs Gerrard might be more suitable.... Very Happy

trendz SG

sorry; but i beg to differ. as i had always said; lampard is overrated.

anyway, back to lamps and scholes; scholes is definitely a better player than lamps. he deep runs into the box and long range shots were awesome.

and trust me; he's a good header of the ball despite his small frame & height of 170cm.

Pedigree wise, Scholes is a more cultured player.

Scholes started off as a striker, in a way an understudy to Cantona. He however gave Sir Alex a lot of headache by seizing his chances when coming on as a substitute. Gradually, SAF played him in a more withdrawn midfield role which he excelled in. His predatory skills in the penalty box was a result of his early development as a striker. Very cool finishing.

As for Lampard, from his days as a midfielder in West Ham to his current role in Chelsea, he is more effective than spectacular. And there are easily many other effective English midfielders.

Scholes for me any day.

ghimpheng SG

never mind let the world number 2 show you what he is about even though he is already proven but seems like biasness against chelsea players are still on-going

dragg SG

both also over-rated.

CKeer SG

Hmm, dat was like, 2 seasons ago?
Seriously, Lampard is way overrated.
Why can he score so many goals 2 seasons ago? Simple. Cos Essien and Makelele has been doing the dirty work and Lampard took the ball away from them and just ram the ball towards goal, never mind the accuracy cos most of his goals were either deflected or hit the post while on the way into the net.
The arrival of Ballack proved my thoery. Lampard is not getting any more of this chances and he has to do the dirty work himself.
Scholes is an intelligent player. He's a playmaker. Unlike Lampard whose first instinct while he got the ball is to shoot, Scholes spots run from his team mates and produces excellent passing. He'll only shoot if the chance of scoring is hig, which is highly unlikely to happen to Lampard.
Scholes wins my vote.

Cheers.

monoslayer SG

scholes.

lpx88 SG

I think...Ballack shud play in UCL while lamps in EPL...coz ...i think only 1 can feature at any 1 point of time Laughing

Agenda SG

I'm gonna quote that for the rest of my SGForums days

dragg SG

scholes is better than lampard but both are over-rated.

of course that the does not mean they are not good.

monoslayer SG

monoslayer SG

i dun find scholes is over-rated at all. he may not b as effective as he was a few yrs ago, but when he was at his peak, lampard pales in comparison wif him. scholes has the slight edge over lampard as he has the natural predator instinct.

sgheartland SG

Both are assets to the England team.

Lampard at his best can be a terror for opponents with his intelligent passes but he did not show it at the World Cup.

He must learn to be less selfish and concentrate more on his role in midfield, rather than filling in the role of a back-up striker.

weiqimun SG

u gotta be kidding!

if u jus compare the 2; lampard is not even close. vision in passing, attacking play, defensive clean-up and packing a more accurate and powerful shot at goal, steven wins hand down in all dept.

lampard is overrated big time.

lpx88 SG

But 1 thing..Now that England are sorta using Hargreaves rather heavily, as seen from recent games, by right Hargreaves is doing all the job now..which leaves Lampard free to run and shoot...but why recently he still didn recover that scoring spree?
