Super Frank and Super Steve: ‘We Need To Do Better’

June 18th, 2006 | By: Shawn | 13 Comments »

Both Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard admit that they still haven’t found a workable form together in the midfield.

My take is that Sven should encourage Lampard — who’s shot horribly — to stay back in a holding/distribution role and give Gerrard — who’s been in sharp form for weeks — a little more room in the front of the midfield.

why is everybody so hell bent on playing Steve and Frank together. I say dump Frank Lampard and bring on Carrick or even Hargreaves.

Lampard is a good player. NO question about that…but its spoiling Gerrard’s game!

I think Gerrard and Lampard offensively are probably as good as each other. Gerrard, defensively, is better than Carrick and Hargreaves… ergo he plays the role he plays.

I don’t think England’s problem has been in the centre of the park at all… I think it has been entirely tactical, brought about because of the injury to rooney.

When Rooney is fit England flit between 4-5-1 and 4-4-2 with ease… without him it all seems disjointed… until the last 20 minutes when fatigue starts to tell, then, and olny then, do England look better with Crouch on the pitch.

The Gerrard/Lampard combo should have been sorted out months back but wasn’t. I believe Steve’s the better all rounder and Frank should be dropped from the starting line up.

yup! definitely drop lampard..
he just doesn’t have the accuracy that gerrard does..
u could see that clearly in their last match.
despite being a red,i have to say crouch should be replace by rooney.i don’t like the way he played lol=D
