you have to excuse smitty, from his posts today in this thread... its obvious that he's smoking some really good ... |
first of all, Lampard is lazy and never back tackles, plus he cannot beat a man. His performance for the ENglish national side has bee absolutely absymal lately. OVERRATED. |

lampard has the recored for consecutive matches played in the premiership,
his fitness is second to none, ofcourse he can beat a man but he doesnt need to the way he strikes the ball (see the last game),
he has just become chelseas all-time best scorer from midfield.
he is a great player despite what other rival supporters say and everytime team across europe would love to have him |

Lampard is the classic example of a player great for his club but crap for his national team. We've had tons of them for Portugal over the years - Pauleta who was one of the biggest stars of the french league yet never had a great world or euro cup, Tiago right now who is fantastic for Lyon yet mediocre for Portugal, even Deco doesn't play for us as good as does for Barcelona, even Figo previous to Euro 2000 was the same (he then absolutely exploded for Portugal in the following years).
I don't think there's any doubt that Lampard is brilliant for Chelsea. A bit debatable on whether he's one of the world's very best, but he's certainly not very far from the top. Now what Lampard definitely isn't is a "complete" player - he's not exceptional defending or a superb dribbler. But I don't think you need to be great at absolutely every different aspect of football to be a great player. |

Exactly.
Lampard is an attacking midfielder. He mainly pushes up the field in support of the strikers.
Take Makelele. He's perfect example of a defensive midfielder. Doesn't score goals, but he helps out the defenders.
Both are good midfielders, but in different roles. |

Didier Drogba scored his 50th and 51st goal for Chelsea yesterday, and both with great headers. He can't always save Chelsea even though him and Lampard has been saving them lately.
Drogba is world class ;) |
