Lampard started picking up his game after the arrival of big name players when Chelsea was taken over by Abrahamovic. He's been a fascinating player for Chelsea for the past 3 seasons but Gerrad is incomparable to him. Gerrard is the best English player at the moment. He scores, creates, passes, dribbles and tackles. There's no reason why someone except a chelsea fan would pick Lampard over Gerrard. PS Gerrard is a HOLDING midfielder NOT a PLAYMAKER as some people have stated in here. It's his qualities of passing and taking freekicks and being useful in set pieces that might have caused some people to think that he's a playmaker. Deco, Kaka, Riquelme, Aimar and Scholes are playmakers while Essien, Makalele, Mascherano, Gerrard and Emerson are holding midfielders.
