Lampard settles Gerrard and Scholes debate
According to a report from the Liverpool Echo, former Everton boss, Lampard, was put on the hot seat to run the rule on the heated debate.
Speaking during his interview, the Chelsea legend would not be drawn into the long-standing debate as he believes there is no debate.
)
“It's a debate that I get when I get in a cab in London,.” Lampard stated. “I get it all the time. Listen, I am going to sit on the fence here. It's not a debate that's worthy of anything.
“I played with and against both with England. They were incredible players and we had different attributes and were in different circumstances.
Lampard added that he is pleased to be in any conversation that pits him against players like his former teammates.
“I have the utmost respect for those players. If someone went to me, 'Frank, here is the debate. I think Stevie [Gerrard] is better than you'. He was amazing, and I'll agree with you.
)
“It's no big deal, and I am pleased to be in a debate of that level with players. I know what my strengths were and what they did, and I think it's a useless debate.”
Following their retirement from the game, all three players have taken to coaching, with Gerrard the most successful after leading Scottish side Rangers to the league title.
