Was Frank Lampard Real or What?

[@sagarranjan4585]

He finished 2nd behind Ronaldinho in 2005 ballon do'r but in terms of longevity at the top, efficiency and spending his entire prime in the most brutal league in the world, I think 'chubby' Frank did better than most of his contemporaries. I'm a United fan but for me, Lampard > Scholes & Gerrard in terms of productivity and reliability.

[@amiralcookie3221]

Im also a United fan, I think Gerrard, lampard and Scholes suited their club perfectly, i dont see lampard doing the same thing at united, I don't see Gerrard doing the same thing at Chelsea, I think the club in which they played definitely had an impact on their career. So I actually think there is not better player between them. But if you want to say one is better than the other honestly i respect it. Also if you want to say that lampard was more important for Chelsea than Scholes was for united I respect that and also adhere to that.

At least one fan gets it right. Stats don't lie and Ballon Dor doesn't lie. Frank was the better of the three. It's just that Liverpool fans and man UTD fans refuse to believe it because they have to support their players.

Lampard was a midfield striker, a great hybrid, along with being a hard worker, decent pass accuracy and speed, his weakness was leadership skills and charisma.

[@SonnyK248]

I would argue that for most of Scholes' career he played a very similar position to Frank Lampard. The majority of Scholes fans who only saw him as an old man sitting in front of the back four spraying passes assume he did that his entire career but he only dropped back into that role in his thirties when his legs started to go as most players do. For the majority of his career he was playing as an attacking central midfielder similar to Lamps or as a number ten for a bit when Veron came in. Scholes spent a lot of time on the field in the oppositions half in his twenties and was probably known more for his goals than for his passing back then. I'm sure he still found his teammates when they needed him to but Beckham was always known as the main passer in the team back then. He was the go to guy for that kind of thing.

He's one of my favorite players ever. I think he is overlooked as far as redefining a role both in English football (which up until about a decade ago was always behind tactically other than 2 or 3 top teams) and in football overall. He was this modern 8 figure that's not entirely a CM/CDM 6 nor a full free-roaming 10, but he was a combination of both. Always incredibly professional both inside and outside the pitch, never scared of opposition or odds, never wrinkled against the responsibility to lead or the responsibility to make back a goal difference. There are few English players I put in my shortlist of favorite players ever and Lampard is right up there over other English players. To consider he was 2nd behind PRIME Ronaldinho in 2005 is just insane... had England played more modern football instead of 4 4 fucking 2 and Jurassic football, Lampard would've been considered an even bigger legend. Now if we discuss Scholes vs Gerard vs Lampard, Lampard was my favorite, Gerard was a vocal leader, Scholes had some grit, talent and clutch performances...

At 1:16 mark it’s kind of uncanny how much mason mount looks like a young frank lampard, hope he has the same kind of career with ya

[@hadiakmal9281]

150 IQ. Lampard has something that most ppl underrate. Intelligent decision making & creativity to go along with his work rate. He is consistent while gerrard is inspirational & scholes is magic.

My favorite player. I couldn't go on supporting my favorite club after he left, it just didn't mean as much, anymore. After he retired, I felt a little dead inside. I still watch but I no more have a favorite player or a team to support. I still remember the serious rivalry and fights between Manu and Chelsea fans during my senior years at my school. Number 8, forever. Lawrencian, Batch of o2 - 11.

I love your videos about early 2000's players.

[@isholataofeek2380]

Great video as always. Can you do a video on John Terry and his rise from chelsea academy, considering he was our only academy gradtate to cement a place in the chelsea team for years. Thank you

[@hughiedgar7574]

I think the fact so many doubted him early because of his dad and suggested "preferential treatment" is one of the reasons he became so good. He had a chip on his shoulder from the beginning of his career and he surely wanted to prove all those doubters wrong.

[@ani4226]

Quite underrated .. possible cause he played for Chelsea not MU or LFC Great player

[@Anyonymus123]

huh?underrated?? Inducted in PL hall of fame in the very first round of pick. Ok then Man U players dominated the league and LIV players were good in Europe but Chelsea were on par with them in both competition

Super Frankie was the reason I started watching football, started supporting Chelsea and after 20 years… I think premier league has not seen a midfielder with the consistency of lamps

[@locutusofborg3418]

I started following chelsea because of Gudjohnsen, I remain a Chelsea fan to this day because of Frank Lampard, it was a privilige growing up and watch him play with that golden Chelsea team💙

[@tristanallnutt1365]

[@LetitbeDjeno]

He was the most real and complete players when u compare to today players...He was a man and genius.Totally underated only just because he played for Chelsea... He is a idol and a true proffesional... Dunno how much he would be valued now

[@wale26.]

Amazing video. Keep up the good work.

[@jialincui3300]

watched and liked all your videos man, amazing work! keep it up, you deserve 10m subscribers:)

[@MrTHEend654]

Lets not forget, he built the squad to help chelsea win their second champions league. Sure, he couldn't MANAGE the task in hand but getting havertz, werner, chilwell and ziyech who were all crucial players to win the thing is also quite amazing.

[@qwert28077]

Also nurturing the youth.

[@laganas2008]

Great video again. Really do love this channel. 👍

Great content mate 💙💙💙💙

[@jamesmuseku2972]

Watching a gritty football game then in the middle of a commentary you hear..Lampaard....an insane goal from outside the box...😢

[@thefactisfactis]

If I weren't at the game on Saturdays I used to do my shopping on the North End Road, all the markets stools would have the game on their radio, match days in the area always had a fantastic atmosphere. I would always hear the tannoy at home games after Frank scored. "GOALSCORER FOR CHELSEA, NUMBER 8, FRANK LAMPARD". And the whole market would cheer. Great times. LAMPARD IS PROPER CHELS, AND A PROPER LEGEND. 🔵

[@ammrfarhan]

Making Super Frank as my footballer idol was never a wrong idea

[@agushartonomuchlis3013]

You forget to mention his stamina and his natural fitness, I remember he always played for Chelsea when in his prime around 200 (ish) consecutive games... I was always literally see him on the pitch every Chelsea's game...
