I agree with you, though. Gerrard has more to his game that Frank does and the only reason he was linked with Juve is because Ranieri. But definsively Lampard is very effective, it's just that he's not known for it. He did make more tackles than Essien this season, after all.
I don't like comparing different leagues in certain ways, though. They're played too differently.
Well .. I am not comparing the two leagues .. I am telling you, Lampard wont succeed in Italy .. I am just putting more emphasis on his game. In England he plays the perfect game that suits the EPL. But at another level, he would need to have tactical attributes (here is where Gerrard comes in).
On this subject .. I think that England without Lampard in the first XI would play even better (IMG:
