Statistically, maybe... but does that mean Rafa would be better off benching him? The problem with statistics in this scenario is that Gerrard plays a lot of games, leaving the number of matches in which he doesn't play quite small.. and also, when he is rested, it's usually against weaker opposition...Rob said:BS.
Watched Liverpool lately? Fact is they are statistically a better side WITHOUT Gerrard.

Yea, Gerrard is sh*t.Kibe Kru said:Statistically, maybe... but does that mean Rafa would be better off benching him?

Basically, what statistics show is that Gerrard lost when Liverpool were beaten by Chelsea, and when he didn't play against the pub team down the road Liverpool won, so Gerrard is a bad player...
I don't think that Lampard not carrying Chelsea makes him a lesser player... after all, it's much harder to carry a team where Wright-Phillips is a bench warmer than the one where Traore is a regular presence... Carrying a team is much more about the team than the player, at least in my view... Gerrard took a team of average players to the CL title, and that's why I think he carries the team. if he played the same way for Chelsea, he wouldn't carry them, as Chelsea have better players... Lampard can do more for his side than Gerrard (and be a better player, maybe), and still not carry them...Rob said:Yea, Gerrard is sh*t.
Gerrard is a gun, but obviously you don't read anything else what anyone says on this forum and just single out one post. My point is people say Gerrard carries your team, which I don't think he does. People also say he is better than Lampard, yet he never proves it. I accept the notion he has more natural talent then Lampard, however he isn’t proving why people think he is better.
While statistics in some instances lie, I will use last year in the EPL, as both were fit and it is a much more fair comparison. Lampard scored more then Gerrard (13 to 7), he had more shots, and a higher shooting accuracy. He also had 18 assists to Gerrards 4, he made more tackles in defence (113 to 138) and he even made more tackles then Makelele, he also blocked more shots than Gerrard (15 to 5) and was fouled less, yet had 3 more yellow cards. The only thing Gerrard had better was his chance conversion rate, which was 12% to 11%.
This post here and the one you quoted was merely in response to the claim Gerrard carries Liverpool and Lampard doesn’t, making him a lesser player, despite the fact that facts prove Lampard does more for his side.
The only carrying that goes on at Liverpool is Crouch giving piggy backs to Benitez.Kibe Kru said:I don't think that Lampard not carrying Chelsea makes him a lesser player... after all, it's much harder to carry a team where Wright-Phillips is a bench warmer than the one where Traore is a regular presence...

You think Gerrard doesn't carry Liverpool, and to prove that you posted about stats... I think he does, and posted about how sometimes stats can be inaccurate... I didn't mean anything negative about your post

Well, he did score 5 goals for England and was a very direct reason for England to go to the World Cup, so I wouldn't say he's been rubbish.bingtin said:Lampard has been good for Chelsea, but in England colours, he is absolute rubbish.
