This related with my previous question, now, Gerrard and Lampard are compared each other, this mean they have several similarity.\nWith that fact, i want to know wheter they can play together in England mieldfield or it will be a un-efficient position by them both then, likes sven words,'maybe we need a defender mieldfielder to play with Gerrard or Lampard' please note the word 'or' from sven.. how about your opinion?

I think they would fit nicely in the England midfield.Steven Gerrard is more defensive and a good ball winner.If you observe him playing in the league,he's damn good with long passes and crosses.As for Frank Lampard,he is more on the attcking.He's vision is good and he got an eye for goals.I think both of them will make the England squad stronger

Oh there IS A LOT OF CONSISTENCY.  We don't understand it YET but there is a lot of purpose in all ll those seemingly crazy decisions.  I predicted, two days before the Portugal Holland match that there would be 8 yellow cards and 4 red cards .I was wrong on the yellows... there were 16, not only 8.  --- Referee had a job to do only he did it badly and not in accordacnce with whoever instructed him to act that way.  I read that Figo has never had a red card in his career that Deco has never had a red car.Costinha has never had a red card, so what happend IN THAT MATCH ?  English hero of 1966 Bobby Charlton said and I quote him "IT IS LOVELY TO PLAY AGAINST THE PORTUGUESE, THEY JUST GET ON WITH IT AND DON'T CHEAT OR DIVE !" So what happened against Holland ?  What happened is that is it is all been decided that England will wint the World Cup.  The whole thing of Football is beginning to stink.

Lampard rocks.  So solid in the midfield.  Thought he had a good game today, some nice offensive work.\nSo the answer to your question:\nin the English Premier league: i don't think so.\non the national team: maybe.

They may be both in the UK but they are seperate countries (hence why the compete seperately).\n\nNeighbouring countries often have a strong rivalry. Would you support your favourite club's rival (eg: Man Utd and Liverpool) if they were playing someone else?

OMG....Rooney and a healthy Owen is your best bet.  Most teams would love to have those two up front.  I like Crouch and Defoe, but come on.....they are no where near the striker of Owen or Rooney.  Seriously, think about this.  It's the World Cup...you are the coach of England.  Your country is watching....who are you putting up front?

I'm not sure Defoe is England's answer. But you are correct. Why bring a player along if you won't play him. I can think of a couple other strikers who deserve a chance.

shocking..........why does he make so many bad decisions........ u cannot sit back and defend a 1-0 win its asking for trouble. in world cup games anything is possible. to take off owen and joe cole then bring on hargreaves i think every english fan and the team included was bemused..... he is and always will be a manager that does his own thing.......we have a great team this year but with sven as manager i think he will be our downfall. i hope im wrong......but a manager needs to bring out his best players, and all guns blazing. score as many goals as possible too. hopfully with mclaren by svens side maybe he will give sven a kick up the butt.... and if the team start playing crap and giving the ball away, then the manager should go mad and kick butt 2, when has sven ever become angry or even animated....apart from when hes with his nasty female companions........i believe we have such a great team this is our best chance ever. sven can only mess it up.........

It is a good question and quite right!! In fairness AND in all honesty, it is hard to see what Lampard has done to equal Gerrard - certainly on a club level. It clearly HAS TO BE Gerrard!! The examples you stated are just essential to this discussion.\n\nAnd indeed, it is that much easier when you do have four or five world-class players (as Chelsea clearly do) around you, than it is when you are one of possibly two, having to create that drive and passion for your team, and above all to lead by example. What's more you have to say that Gerrard in a Chelsea team (God forbid!!) would fit in more than nicely, whereas you couldn't expect Lampard to do what Gerrard does for Liverpool, if he was playing for Liverpool. Here, the determination and guts must surely put Gerrard ahead of Lampard.\n\nGerrard's work rate compared to that of Lampard is unbelieavble - he runs his heart out for Liverpool week-in-week-out, creates clear-cut chances, scores and produces moments of pure magic. His passing and often pin-point delivery from dead-ball situations surely puts him above Lampard alone. You could replace Lampard in a team, but there wouldn't no replacing Gerrard - definitely not at club level anyway. And besides, Gerrard does often have to face the daunting task of picking up a below par Liverpool by its very shoelaces, which is surely something players of Lampard's calibre could do, but not do so AND excel as Gerrard has done so on many occasions.\n\nNow this is not to say that Lampard is not a great player, that is not the case, as he is brillant - it's just that Gerrard is just marginally a better player.

I agree with you that Lampard should be dropped, he can score for Chelsea, but he cant do the same for England

ROOONEY!!!!!!!.... its all kitted out in the England kit....forget my avatar.... i am wearin it myself... , my car is carryin the flag...... my work is adorned....... damn I'm even wearin England boxer shorts........ cm-on the boys!!!!!!!!!\n\n\nOK I'm back.....\nwell i see Sven is up to his old tricks....after our recent performances i almost forgot how bad he was..... has there ever been a manager that made worst substitutions? Owen for downing?.... downings a great player... but what a strange thing to do.... cos he knows he made a mistake with walcott and has no other striker option... where is bent?...what more do you have to do to get on the side than be the highest British goalscorer in the premiership (playin for a mediocre side at that)?...... of course we got the obligatory hargreaves....who?...i hear you all say....blah blah blah.....

yes we do have class in nearly every position but rooney is a one off who can turn games. i dont like his attitude or his suspect temprement but as long as he does the business in an england shirt i dont care. Lampard and Gerrard are both class players who can get forward but rooney gives us a very different option to anyone else in attack and in my opinion only joe cole has that edge to turn a game in the way rooney does. But its a team game and collectively we can go all the way . i think we will take 5 strikers and lennon on the left so joe cole can drop into the middle if needs be, rooney should be fit for the Sweden game if the reports are accurate with his injury.

Haha, the harshist criticism yet!\n\nI think he can play football (a lot of people say he plays well in the German league), but he is total crap for England.\n\nI think perhaps Hargreaves is bribing Sven, perhaps he has pictures of Sven having a 3sum with Richard & Judy, or something else as twisted as that.

beckham is already 2years passed his best at least, he is only wearing an england shirt because sven is manager but im afraid it wont get much better when mclaren takes over. please join my plea in getting beckham propped from the england side hes holding the youngsters back, long balls do nothing for the english team

Well i wish this issue was put on discussion long time ago, the football fields lost a very talented player who was one of the best in the world but the problem is that he was from wales and they never qualified to the world cup.. he was the great goerge best, he was so talented and nowadays we r missing important players like keane who never qualified to the world cup and therefore i think yes they should do a combined team and this will be better for all, they can all play under the name of the unied kingdom..

Give Terry a shot. I think he will be more connected with the players. I didn't really notice Beckham doing to much leading in any capacity today. Free kicks, that was the only time I really noticed him. You know a few years back he stood out in any team, that is not the case anymore, he blends in. Terry is solid and consistent. Things were quite disorganised for England under Beckham especially while defending their goal. And Annie what the heck has being "hotter" got to do with football and the ability to lead your team to victory. I'm not English but was really hoping England would really give their fans something to cheer for. They did until they stopped protecting their lead. Terry for your captain, if Becks wants the job, let him work to get it back.

Gerrard should go for his own good. If he wants to win something major then he should go. Know they won the Champions League but can't see that fluke happening again.

They are dreaming if they think he will be fit to play at all in the world cup. Once his leg heals he won't be fit enough to play for a few weeks, by that time it will be all over. The problem for Sven is there is no one else, Owen played his first game of the year last week, so he is out of practise, all that is left is Defoe and Peter "can't score in a brothel" Crouch.
