Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard or Paul Scholes? Jamie Carragher & Gary Neville rank the midfielders 

1. Lampard 2. Gerrard 3. Scholes

Scholes,Lampard,Gerrard. All of them were great. Gerrard could strike a ball well and Lampard too. Scholes had the brains

Opposite to Carragher

I remember when they asked terry aswell🤦🏽‍♂️

Teey 1 Terry would of ranked their wives first

@@AdamT-mv3ok and Ronaldinho & Figo picked Gerrard

@@jamesrichards4294 Xavi and Iniesta idolized Scholes, Zidane himself named him the best Midfielder

Scholes 55 assists in 499 games kinda sad

@@AM-er9oi then you know nothing he did far more than that scored 107 goals but it was his passing that was special, the way he spread the ball and controlled games was incredible he kept the ball and would mostly play deeper pick the ball up and play it back, busquets has played 505 games and has 49 assists with 14 goals and is 1 of the best.

@@robertfranklin4838 0 individual awards for such a great player

@@AM-er9oi He wouldn't have been a united player until retirement If he wasn't great 2 ucl 11 titles 4 fa cup among many more trophies.

@@robertfranklin4838 United would have won all that with or without him

Marketing bro, Lampard and Gerard as they were the face of their teams they got more views and marketing, but for me Scholes was the better midfielder 🤷🏻‍♂️.

None of that compares to Gerrards goals in Istanbul or the facup final especially the Istanbul header that kick starts the greatest comeback in ucl history

this is why England last won the world cup in 1966......media picks the national team based on marketability.

@@musclecat7910 All of them left in their prime

I never understood why people use Gerrard's "poor" teammates as a positive. When he played for England,he was actually worse,KO-ing England from multiple tournaments. No one says Scholes had to play with Heinze or Howard,Kieran Richardson or Luke Chadwick,Djemba Djemba,Bebe Cleverly,Foster,Welbeck Gerrard and Lampard were world class,from 05-10,in their best position only,at CAM They were massively exposed as CM's in international tournaments,neither had the discipline,or game management to control midfield,even against Algeria or the U.S They were pool players,running around the table,potting balls as fast as possible,perfect for the Premiership. Scholes was world class,from 95-13,in four different positions. Even as a Irishman,to my dying day I will always rue the fact that England never played Scholes and Carrick as their two CM's They knew their games inside out,have huge big game experience,a winning mentality,and Fergie in their head when things got tough. They were snooker players,patiently weighing up the options,conserving energy,knowing where the next shot will go.

One of the best punditry duos by far

But it looked more like beef back then lol 😂

Yeah that's what real man does

Even Zidane says stevies the best

@@tomparry12 “There is no doubt for me that Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own. He’s almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play. You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.” - Zinedine Zidane

Avi Sen “Is je the best in the world? He might not get the attention of Messi or Ronaldo but yes, I think he just might be!”- Zidane on Gerrard... He also wanted him to come to real to partner him in midfield but gerrard said no to him and Perez

Iniesta's son is named Paolo after Scholes

SAF said that Gerrard 'is the most influential player in England bar none' during Scholes' prime also called him the only true heir to Keane and said " for me Gerrard is Keane"

IgotPMT 'grabbing your team by the scruff of its neck' is just generic nonsense. What did Gerrard actually excel at better than Scholes and Lampard ?

To do all of them: KDB

Jamie Monks more personal achievements than both of them combined , 2nd most goals and wasn’t put in a already world class team, while Liverpool was a team being built from the ground up on a relatively low budget and finishing 8th most seasons to success , Gerrard had more of an impact than the other two and was the more talented footballer

@@eatthebiscuits389 Work rates, pace. Plus ridiculous long shooting ability better than Lampard even.

@@eatthebiscuits389 it is nonsense lol

He would literally touch the ball down like any professional footballer and people would wank all over it. Gerrards clear, he did it with a bunch of cabbages as his teammates

Scholes was never in PFA team of the year and only won player of the month twice 😂 end of the argument.

@@williamlillicrapp7601 that doesn't mean anything

@@williamlillicrapp7601 stats and awards mean jack shit when talking about scholes he wasn't that sort of player he controlled the game and made football look easy.

I wouldn't say he played with peasants

Alex Nicol so Scholes was a good player but never considered the best in his team. Neither by his teammates nor fellow professionals

Ok. If he was so good at passing, how many assists did he have? Look at Lampard numbers. If you also take into account the goals then it's not even a discussion. Lampard miles ahead of both.

@@tomparry12 even when Gerrard had a good team he could not do it

Akshat Betala wha u on about we had a good team in Istanbul an he carried the 2nd half especially at the start

@@tomparry12 They are all different - but in my opinion Scholes tops the list. Scholes was without a doubt the most technical out of the three. Good technique is what I believe is the most important attribute a midfielder must have. When you think of the great midfielders of the past - xavi, Iniesta, yaya toure, viera, zidane, KDB etc.. (I know there are more but you get my point) all these players were technically brilliant. although lampard and Gerrard were good they weren’t the most technical of footballers - they were the typical English player who worked hard, did the basics well & had a mean - accurate long ball. Gerard was hard working, a true leader. He was brilliant defensively - could have been a defender easily, had a great shot, and read the game well. His presence and aura on and off the field was essential to his team. lampard was a revolution in that he made goal scoring from midfield fashionable. His positional awareness was second to none, it’s no accident that he always seemed to be at the right place at the right time. Like Thomas muller he read the game in the final third so well that he Kept getting into positions that would allow him to either create chances or score. having said this Gerrard and Lampard didn’t have the technical ability to be true string pulling midfielders that most great midfielders tend to be. Gerard had alonso & guys like cotinho to do this and lampard had ballack & deco etc.. with scholes he was the man - pulled the strings and had the technique to create something from nothing - in the tightest spaces. Be it by dribbling or finding a pass in the most unlikely of circumstances - he had it all. a big reason why England failed - (among others) was the lack of technical players. Although in 2006 England had a great squad their best players didn’t have the technical players around them (as they did at their clubs) to truly flourish. players like scholes were actually very un English. Which is all the more impressive considering he still managed to make it up the ranks and become a true PL great! 

@@tomparry12 all I am saying that Scholes was more technical and he was more suited for European football. He was better than both as he could adapt himself and was more consistent

lemon flappy agree 100 percent with this

Lampard top five in both assists and goals in prem history am I a joke to you

Explains Gerrard's UCL

Alonso,xavi,iniesta and pirlo are margins ahead of scholes. SAF tried to replace him with Veron and that says alot. He was a great player don't get me wrong, but he's never won Toty, player of the season for man utd either, he wasn't even the best midfielder because man United's playmaking came from the wings. Gerrard and lampard were serial contenders for ballondors. Gerrard being in the Toty 8 time. Lampard and Gerrard are astronomically higher in the podiums compared to scholes in every category. Please stop this.

@@T_Man__ So by ur logic Luiz is good cos he gets picked for Brazil

@@T_Man__ u melon he still played, just out of position cause eriksson was incapable of changing to a three man midfield

If the conversation was who was the best goalscorer, lampard and gerrard are above Scholes, its who was the best player and Paul Scholes is the most naturally gifted midfielder ever in the premier league.

He did give a fair assessment after that but you were too busy writing this asinine comment. Since when did goals become the only barometer for a MIDFIELDER?

@@shrey9699 Carragher did give a fair assesment but he mainly pointed out the goals both Gerrard and Lampard came up with in big games and they both did. Scholes however had everything as a midfielder, every range of pass, could score any type of goal and every game the game was played at his tempo. All 3 were great but Scholes was best in my opinion

@@ciaranmccullough2273 Scholes has more goals from open play than Gerrard

I really don't think Liverpool fans or Jamie Carragher have said that for the last 30 years with the exception of Gerard. Many Liverpool fans concede that man united had a better players when they were winning all the trophies years ago. What do you even on about?

You think Scholes was the greatest of all time???

Awful opinion

Sir Klopp Gerrard had a midfield of Mascherano and Alonso and still couldn’t win a prem title. They are uncomparable. Scholes is comparable to Xavi and Iniesta, Gerrard isn’t.

Areesh Kirmani exactly this Thing about gerrard being in bum teams is a myth played alongside some class players

RiiDGE exactly, that team in the mid to late 2000s had Torres, Mascherano, Alonso, Arbeloa, Reina, Carragher, Hyypia, Kuyt and Crouch. All of them were world class or close to it and scousers and media spread the narrative that gerrard played in an average team as if he had to carry them.

Areesh Kirmani was Frank Lampard or Paul Scholes ever called the best in the world by Zidane, or one of the best by Thiery Henry? Let alone Gerrard has won more individual awards, more Ballon D’or nominations than both of them. Gerrard was the better player. If Gerrard left Liverpool for Chelsea, he would have won everything, during the 08/09 season, Gerrard still scored 16 goals with 11 assists, only Torres had more goals.

Alexandre Bray Xavi and Iniesta have stated that Scholes is the best midfielder of the last 25 years. Pele said he was better, CR7 said he was better (biased yes but still), messi said he was better, even arbeloa who was gerrards team mate said scholes was better. Pirlo didn’t get nominated for ballon dors and kante did, does that mean kantes better than pirlo? obviously not.

Not as much as tha Tommy bloke tho

That's a bold statement ⚽️

Not fit to lace de bruynes boots

@@happykillmore77 That's very harsh as Scholes was a quality player

@@dweezil8461 Fact for which question 🤔

@@tomsmith9048 you're talking to kids mate, they've only been watching football for ten years

Team trophies don't determine individual talent

@@MikeyJMJ he was the main player

Carried them to what exactly? One champions league and a couple of domestic trophies? Lol alright mate

Probably the worst team to have won the Champions league aswell. At the first chance Gerrard had of playing in a decent team he literally slipped

Teey 1 You’re pointing out exactly what I mean without realising. He won less major trophies than Scholes and Lampard since he choose to be loyal said no 3 times when Mourinho called. If you want to compare individual honours however, the other two doesnt come close to the best ever English midfielder.

Roy Keane Sorry my French but only dumbnuts like you wouldn’t realise it’s far more impressive to carry a weak Liverpool side to a European trophy against AC Milan, than play a small role in an already great Manchester Utd or Chelsea side.

Abowen Small Role for United? For about 12 seasons, literally everything went through him.

But they also wanted Gerrard?

Bit vague mate

Ferguson, Ancelotti, Mourinho, Guardiola and Erikson all placed multiple bids on Gerrard

Neo Rhami sme with Paul Scholes but never came close to signing him because he never wanted to leave😂😂

@@united2060 because he played for one of the best teams ever but Gerrard played for Europa/midtable teams most of the time but he never left even tho if he did he would be seen as one of the best players ever

ya his mistakes were comical

And he scores boom boom... Pfft...

It was irony obviously

@C G Very bright mate careful not to blind yourself!

Individual achievements Gerrard lampard Scholes, team achievements the opposite but I don't think any Liverpool fan is claiming Liverpool were better than United its just that Gerrard was the best player

@@darragh2994 what did gerrard achieve apart from slipping up and never winning the league lampard achieved more and scholes certainly achieved alot more scholes main achievement is that hes most peoples best player ever played with all 3 great players the england thing should have been 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond) carragher is bias he spits on united fans literally neville is not bias tbf to him!

@@kylemc0254 Stopped reading after your first line, your agenda against Gerrard exposes your shitty opinion

Mosaab thanks for taking the stick for us

@Mosaab the guy who sent the tweet misspelled Jamie as Jaime which is a Spanish name

Scholes and Gerrard were awesome. Id say its the other way round, everybody outside chelsea ranks the other two higher even tho lamps scored more, asissted more and stayed fitter for almost record periods.

@@veerickpatel7634 but that more on the fact that Lampard played higher and did less defencing than the other two, while he did stay fitter Scholes played till the same age of 38 (well he missed a year due to a short retirement) but stayed in the Prem instead of playing his last games in the easier US league. Gerrard was always more an engine with the highest work-rate out the 3, so his fitness requirement was higher.

@@stephencowling8404 i get what you mean. Gerrard wished he had makalele behind him. But even playing higher up the pitch, lamps was pressing hard all the time. People forget too that he dropped deeper as he got older and still affected games. He won the champions league playing as a DM, still managed an assist vs barca at the camp nou with virtually no ball. Lamps and gerrard didnt stay on like scholes because they werent happy being squad players like scholes was and felt like they could affect games. Remember jose moved lamps on and he went on to be player of the month at man city twice? Even came on and saved a point against a dominant chelsea. In new york he scored so much the fans and club had a frank lampard day 😆

@@stephencowling8404 also if you use your logic of playing higher up the pitch makes you less injury prone, a forward should have stayed fitter than lamps for longer periods but they didnt either

@@veerickpatel7634 the 3 are different kind of players with Gerrard being a box to box super captain, as a footballer he is worsed out of the 3, with his workrate being his best stat over the other 2 but he makes up for it with his leadership skills which can turn games around. Lampard is the best goalscorering attacking midfielder out of the 3 but Lampard would struggle when his teams playing poor. Scholes is the teams performace, his team can't have a bad game when he's playing well, he has that much control.

Zidane said Gerrard was the best player in the world and Zidane was a cam so played directly against Scholes unlike the other two

United fans have been banging that drum for year's and he said it after he retired but that doesn't take away the fact that Scholes was one the best midfielder's in the world for a time he was quality

They talk about him a lot at la masia he is a teacher-messi

One said it and then others followed like sheep. Because it’s Zidane who’s levels above Scholes

"Is he the best in the world? He might not get the attention of [Lionel] Messi and Ronaldo but, yes, I think he just might be," Zidane said. "If you don't have a player like Steven Gerrard, who is the engine room, it can affect the whole team.

Cartmans Dad won the Champions League against an AC Milan side which were 10000x better than Liverpool

@Vernon Francis Gallagher No we can say either Gerrard or Lampard because with have opinions you self entitled red mancs.

@@mrred5417 you hate scholes so ofc you will say anything but Paul scholee

@@akshatbetala2813 No I like Scholes. One of the few Alex Ferguson players I don't mind. I actually like Scholes more then Lampard just I love Gerrard more. What made you think I hate Scholes.

@@mrred5417 well I talk to a lot of Liverpool fans and they say the same thing that Scholes should not be compared to Stevie and Lampard. They only go on stats

@@akshatbetala2813 He shouldn't though. He's a completely different midfielder. That's why its normally Gerrard vs Lampard. Comparing Gerrard to Scholes is like comparing Gerrard to Xavi. Two legends of the game two different styles. Its also why a Gerrard Scholes partnership would have been brilliant for England.

Zidane said Gerrard was better than Messi and Ronaldo during his prime. These quotes mean little. Most people saying Scholes aren’t old enough to remember him play and base their opinion on those quotes. Scholes by his own admission saw himself as an attacking midfielder, both Gerrard and Lampard were better than him in that regard. People’s opinion of Scholes has been completely revised since Barca’s tiki taka football lifted the game to new heights. Because Scholes played in that style people equate him to being that good, on reflection he was world class in possession and passing, mediocre to poor in terms of tackling and capable of world class goals although not having a massive return on them. He was a world class player but he was not a God like some of the kids make him out to be. Gerrard’s passing was on par with Scholes, his shooting ability was arguably better and he had the indefinable quality of leadership and being able to turn games in Liverpool’s favour when they had no right to. A big game player scoring in the Europa league, Champions league, league cup and Fa cup finals. He was wanted by both Chelsea and United at a time when they had Lampard and Scholes respectively. He could play any position to the highest level, a generational talent and one that doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Gerrard then Scholes then Lampard.

Saying that lampard and Gerrard were both world class as well

Scholes was never in PFA team of the year and only won player of the month twice 😂 end of the argument.

@@williamlillicrapp7601 david silva has got one player of the month in his whole time at City. Suppose hes shit too?

@@williamlillicrapp7601 wait Aguero has never won the golden boot so he is not as good as Drogba

Tell me one reason why Gerrard was better. Look at the stats, the guy didnt even win a prem.

Scholes is a beast at tackling? :')

The best technical player in player EVER is a huge statement he was a quality player with great vision but I think Zola was ahead of him personally amongst others but Zola sticks to mind ⚽️

That’s how I would rank them as well. Only thing gerrard was better at than Lampard and Scholes is tackling. Can’t pass or dribble like scholes. Can’t shoot or score like Lampard.

Henderson is going to surpass Gerrards trophy cabinet so does that make him better than Gerrard? You can’t use team trophies to judge who’s better you have to use individual awards because if not you could say that Dani Alves is better than Messi
