Frank Lampard Snr has branded as "ridiculous" the debate over
whether his son, Chelsea star Frank Jr, and Liverpool midfielder
Steven Gerrard can play in the same England team.
Lampard Snr, now working with Watford, told the Daily
Mail: "It’s ridiculous. Of course I prefer my son but Stevie
Gerrard is a great player, too. And how many great players have we
got? It is the job of the England manager to fit them both into the
side.
"For heaven’s sake, it should not be difficult. Liverpool will
tell you they’ve given up asking Gerrard to stop going forward all
the time. My Frank has learned how to run the game from midfield
but also to time his runs for goal. Tweak the system and get the
best out of both of them."
