Of course he was, no one has ever argued anything any differently. Frank Lampard was just better. The statistics are not even all that comparable. Frank Lampard scored goals in the Premier Premier League. All of those men are strikers, and Frank Lampard outscored them from midfield, where he never shirked a tackle or his defensive duties. In his Chelsea career, Lampard scored goals. For West Ham he scored another 39 and in his retiring season at Manchester City he still scored another eight.
In total for all his clubs across all appearances Lampard scored an incredible goals. While at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard scored There will be debate over whose European victory was harder. One, though, stands a chance of standing higher. The best squad in the history of that club and to do it in Munich? Once again Lampard at least matches Gerrard there in historic importance to an all-time victory. In fewer appearances Lampard was still more effective? So Gerrard actually loses there, too.
Steven Gerrard had an incredible year in Frank Lampard. The only time the two of them were voted for at such a high level, Lampard again came out victorious. All England performances must admittedly be taken with a grain of salt because we can all acknowledge their generation underperformed.
To have either Frank Lampard or Steven Gerrard, let alone both, was a blessing. Any other side would have won every trophy available with that level of talent. In South Africa under Fabio Capello when they were at their best was a great example.
Lampard, meanwhile, was no doubt a great player, reaching double figures for goals in 10 successive Premier League seasons, but was his career helped by playing in world-class Chelsea teams?
In a bid to compare who played in the better side, we took the XIs that started the clubs' respective Champions League-winning finals and calculated the reported cost of each player to see how expensive the teams were to assemble.
Gerrard was part of the Liverpool side that came from down at half-time to beat AC Milan on penalties in the 'Miracle of Istanbul'. That team would go on to boast caps between them, with Gerrard's England appearances matched by Spain's Xabi Alonso, while Norway's John Arne Riise and Finland's Sami Hyypia also reached their centuries. With Liverpool's success seven years earlier than Chelsea's, it is inevitable their starting XI would be cheaper than the Blues'.
Lampard was among the scorers from the spot after Didier Drogba's late goal levelled the game in 90 minutes. Lampard was one of four Chelsea players to win more than caps for his country, with Petr Cech Czech Republic, , Ashley Cole England, and Drogba Ivory Coast, contributing to a total caps for the Blues. The cost of that side? Phil Neville, who played alongside the pair for England and against them for Manchester United and Everton, told BBC Sport they were "always driving each other on to be better".
You are inspired by the biggest challenges. Maybe he looked at Frank as part of a great team, winning league titles and other cups - whereas he made Liverpool a good team by his own performances. As players of such similar style and stature in the game, leaving the Premier League for the MLS only furthered the Lampard-Gerrard debate.
However, it was the former West Ham, Chelsea and Manchester City man who turned a stuttering Stateside start around to eventually make the bigger impact for his club, scoring 15 times including his th career goal. Lampard on Gerrard: "There were many a night I can recall Stevie driving from midfield at Anfield and I tried to reverse that at Chelsea and be our driving force.
We get on very well, particularly in our latter years. It's nice to come up against Stevie. Gerrard on Lampard: "When that whistle goes and for 90 minutes when we are competing against each other it is war. We fight against each other, we always have. And when it's over there is a mutual respect there.
Well, here's a look at the trio of Premier League legends through their career Ballon d'Or votes, and it paints a fascinating story.
The Liverpool legend received votes throughout his career, with the Chelsea hero recording votes while the United icon failed to pick up a single vote during his storied playing days. In fact, Scholes has received the most Ballon d'Or nominations without ever receiving a single vote 5 per Football Both Gerrard and Lampard received their most votes in the same year
