Lampard was such an unreal goalscorer that people forget what a genius, world class playmaker and technical master he was. I mean, he is a literal genius. It's quite sad really. Long range goals, runs and positioning, anticipation, controlling the game (as he actually played in deeper positions for most of his career and facilitated build up before running late), progressive passes, intricate final third play, set pieces, touch, left foot ability, trivela and no look passes, work rate, professionalism and leading by example. And the defending... he averaged more interceptions and tackles with a higher success rate than most of the most highly rated defenders and defensive midfielders today have managed in their best seasons. And he did all that without the freakish power of Gerrard or the diminutive frame and balance of Scholes.
You almost brought tears to my eyes, mate. You couldn't have put it any better. Lamps for me is the best of the 3. For the reasons you've put down as well as the fact that when he left the EPL, he was 3rd in EPL all-time goalscoring list and 2nd in all-time assist list.
@@ibrahim-mahimbokivugo4870 They don't give Lampard any credit for anything else than goals, it's crazy. His IQ and passing skills were great. I don't recall Gerrard or Scholes giving trouble to Barca teams like Lampard did, except Scholes's goal in 08 but even he admitted they couldn't take the ball out of their feet.
Well said mate
@g.c.8349 it's mad. Pep honestly loves Scholes, and Paul was awesome, but not THAT awesome. On games when he wasn't selected, it wasn't like we missed him.
He was never a star player. His best form came late into his career when he started controlling games by feeding the star players and wingers.
I don't think Ferguson could've done what he did without Scholes. It showed when he brought him out of retirement and United won the league again.
He just has a style in midfield that opens space, he's quick with his passing.
Lampard for the goals.
Scholes for the game-intelligence.
Gerrard for the work.
England managers were idiots for not building on this, should have dropped the 4-4-2 and just played a 4-5-1 with Scholes in the Pirlo role, Gerrard box to box and Lampard supporting whoever is the lone striker- Rooney(post 2004)/Owen (98-2002); Beckham was never a proper winger anyways more of a Right sided Midfielder so you got 4 mids to compensate for the lack of an out n out DM. Ashley Cole was an attacking fullback for those times n can also be allowed to support as an auxiliary winger even if you want to drop Joe Cole n play another ST or a DM
Gerrard for the 'work' 😆
@@mattinterweb work as in everything the other two can do + speed, strengh, defense, leadership and much more
Gerrard can do it all though 😂
Almost the perfect answer.
Scholes is the most decorated player of these three on a club level. Scholes didn't need to go to US to keep playing football. He was top until the very last match.
in that arguement then, Ronaldo and Messi are not that good either.. average players then because they went to lower leagues to get a pay day and enjoy some time out the lime light at the end of thier careers.?
@@haychnsno5680 With Ronaldo and Messi it's different. Messi left Barca because Barce couldn't afford him due to financial crisis. Ronaldo left after conflict with the club. And all that unites mentioned players except Gerrard - they helped their club to win dozens of trophies.
It's an opinion at the end of the day.
There's no scientific formula to determine who was best. It's subjective and you have to take into consideration the fact that some of these ex-players have a degree of bias. Everyone is entitled to their say.
For me it's Scholes, but as I say, it's just an opinion.
Anybody in their 30s or older that have followed Man Utd would agree to this. But let me real. People have always appreciated Scholes, but once Xavi showed his admiration for him, the whole world changed their view on Scholes. It’s like EVERYBODY’s opinion on Scholes went from good player to worldclass OVERNIGHT. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Yep - it's become shorthand for 'I know about football'
Agree. Ive watched them at their peak and scholes was never in the discussion with steve and frank.
The English preferred Gerrard and Frank because they played in the EPL style of the time. Paul played more like he was from the continent...Xavi was right, he didn't change minds as much as he made it ok to hold that opinion.
I thought Gerrard was over-hyped.
Zidane also rated Scholes very highly
He's world class
Todays crop are nowhere near the level of these boys. What an era, massive respect to all three. YNWA
Lampard was a goal scoring freak, Scholes could have played in the best Barcelona team ever in central midfield, but Gerrard had everything. Most complete midfielder I've ever seen and able to win a game on his own.
Prime Scholes fit to Inter Milan, if he plays 4 years for this Italian club, he will get 6 or 7 thropies at least.
Gerard lookes the nicest, but he has choked when it mattered most.
@24xv555 Choked?! Go watch Champions League 2005 & Fa cup finals vs Milan & WestHam respectively & Champions league game vs Olympiakos! Literally opposite of choking.
@@24xv555 Literally one of only two players in history to have an FA Cup final named him. Because he single-handedly won it with two insane goals.
@@24xv555 lol. Like the Champions league final and fa cup finals?
Scholes spent the majority of his career in a midfield 2, with Keane or Butt when 4-4-2 was the order of the day. Gerrard and Lampard thrived in midfield trios in 4-3-3s. So Scholes' job was tougher and he was most complete.
Get your point,but it's not like Scholes was playing in a 4-4-2 against a 4-3-3, when mou started using 4-3-3 in the epl, Fergie also switched to a 4-3-3 a season after.Gerrard more complete imo
But couldn't tackle or run past people and wasn't an athlete. Ok.
More complete than Gerrard? Best passer of a ball since Hoddle, but he was an asthmatic who couldn't tackle so how does that make him more complete than Gerrard who could literally do everything?
scholes himself said gerrard is more complete. he also said gerrard could have done what he did at utd but he couldn't have done what gerrard did at liverpool.
@@gustavbrinkel5489Gerrard can do both. End of contest
All 3 were awesome...simple as that!

@@chriscolton6329 yes he didnt cause he was the best
@@MeddlLoide1510 😂
this is a dumb debate. because scholes plays a different position as the other 2. he's literally a CM who controls and dictates play.
It isnt its much like how maradonna and pele got compared or messi and ronaldo. You just give why you feel who is better
No that’s a lie LMAO. He was an offensive centre-mid for a majority of his career until he started ageing and lost his pace. Same as Gerrard and Lampard who became a deep lying playmaker at the end of their careers.
Next time just tell us you're a kid who didn't get to watch Scholes....
Scholes played as an attacking midfieldler for the first decade of his career. He only really moved into a deeper role in the latter part of his career (2006 and onwards).
@@JensKofmann27 nope, he used to play as a second striker. became a CM soon after that. Gerrard and Lampard became CMs when they were past their primes. Scholes' prime was as a CM.
@@brianduru3753 nope, he used to play as a second striker. became a CM soon after that. Gerrard and Lampard became CMs when they were past their primes. Scholes' prime was as a CM. clearly you aren't very bright. how old are you? i'm definitely older than you kid.
Scholes
Gerard!
@@gustavbrinkel5489 slippy g never
Gerrard had everything as a player. The most complete of the three and carried teams, particularly Liverpool.
Pep & Henry picked Scholes and for some reason that weighs more than anyone else. I'm sorry, this is coming from an American neutral.
Better listen to scholesy himself mate
Sir Alex also picked Scholes, even had Scholes as the key player for three rebuilds.
@@elijahmuwanguzi789 He is humble
And others of equal stature didn't.
Mourinho and Ferguson tried to sign Gerrard when Lampard and Scholes were at their respective clubs. That's all you need to know.
Scholes!
Gerard!
Gerrard could make an average team great by sheer force of will. He did it so many times as a leader to inspire his fellow players. He had NO weaknesses and could do EVERYTHING. Scholes and Lampard couldn't do those things. If you want opinions on Gerrard then ask Zidane, Henry, Totti, Rooney, Torres, Suarez, Pele, Maldini...I could go on.
Henry picked Scholes over Gerrard as the player he wished to have played with. Zidane has also praised Scholes and even asked Beckham what it was like to play with him. And even CR7 said he learnt from Scholes the most during his younger days
Henry said Scholes so stop lying 😂 Pep Guadiola said Scholes, ask Barcelonas trio of Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets and they will say Scholes, i could go on too
Avarage tam with Mascherano and Alonso in midfield
People keep saying Lampard is just goals. He probably has more assists than Scholes and Gerrard combined on top of the goals.
His passing is mad underrated.
Check the stats he doesn’t
@@trappz_io2620check the stats, he does!!! Passing too
In terms of impact on the overall game he’s nothing compared to the other two. Go watch the 2010 World Cup Lampard was useless.
@@TS-xf3fweveryone was useless in 2010 😂 To say he’s “nothing” compared to the other two is outrageous.
Pirlo said" Scholes is technically one of the best I've seen. Not just the best English man but simply one of the best."
Xavi said " He's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15 20 years."
End of conversation.
It’s a matter of opinion. Just because two legends prefer Scholes to the other two it doesn’t stop the debate.
@CTOTHER completely true mate. The point I was trying to make though was that they are far more qualified than anyone on here to have an opinion. Which has to be heard.
@@162tsb7 I hear that bro. I guess as well though some pros would say that Gerrard or lamps is better… 🤷♂️
@@CTOTHERbetter at scoring. notice how the good professional players say gerrard and lampard. but the best? thiery henry, pirlo, xavi, pep (coach) all say scholes. make no mistake, scoring, big game impact are all important, but their passing accuracy is not equal to game intelligence and vision, which the absolute legends can see the value of.
in fact, england is notorious for picking physicality, power and pace over technique and intelligence, hence all these english players like carragher mentioning gerrard's pace, lampard's shooting but vision can't be measured unfortunately, such as xavi's or pirlo's
For me as a fan of AC Milan, it has to be Steven Gerrard. The box to box capability of defending and attacking and controlling the midfield, he has the lung power, the pass accuracy, the industry, the precision passing and crossing, incredible header of the ball and amazing shot power that it looks like the ball is rifled into the net.
I mean if you look at modern footballers shooting, the ball has some trajectory where to lifts and then projects downwards or sideways because the velocity is not that fast. But if you look at Steven Gerrard’s shooting. He has those low grounder balls that goes straight like a dart at high speed into the net. That means the velocity is higher than most footballers can achieve in a shot.
For me that is absolutely outstanding power he projects onto the ball and it doesn’t dip, it just rifles in like a rocket. Every team in 2005 would place him as CM or AM in their first eleven any day of the week.
The worse pundits said Gerrard and the better ones said Scholes. Says it all
Genetic fallacy
Scholes said too 😂
Rio the better pundit? A cabbage has more insight 😂
Scholes himself said Gerrard haha
As a Liverpool fan its easy to say Stevie was by far the best, but there is a bit of unconscious bias and it will be there with everyone based on who their favorite is ! At the end of the day like Scholes said they are all different players, especially Gerrard and Scholes ! From attacking perspective Gerrard was much better than Scholes as he could score goals, assist with precise defense cutting passes and free kicks and set pieces, while Scholes was better at controlling the midfield, better quality on the ball, better with tackling and ball retrieval and both equally good at pinning a pass ! ANd I dont think Lampard is that league at all, a great goal scorer, but as a midfielder no where near to Gerrard and Scholes!
The fact that Scholes picks Steven Gerrard over himself really just says something about his character. When you're truly great, you don't need to tell others how great you are. He doesn't give a shit. He's won 11 premier league titles by doing exactly what he did.
At youth level, Stevie would have stood out more. Breaking into their respective teams, Stevie would have caused more of a stir.
Paul would have questioned whether football was really for him. Gerrard never would have.
But Paul was still amazing, and Steven wasn't infallible!
@@DirtyJamesUK Steven was really good... almost as good as Scholes.
@91Metalhead the fact that you won't admit Gerrard was better, even though Paul has really says something about your character, lol.
If i want someone to run a midfield its scholes...if i want someone for more goals its lampard.. If i want someone to build a team around him its gerrard...the big difference are the teams they played and scholes and lambard played in some serious serious teams all around.. Gerrard had only 2-3 serious players with him and that was at times...
Lampards biggest flaw was scoring too many goals. Meant people couldnt stop chirping about anything except goals, as if he was just a striker playing in midfield.
Pointless debate because everyone plays popularity contest instead of assessing objectively
Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Busquetts and Puyol all drew straws to get Scholes' shirt (Iniesta won). Andre Pirlo, Zinadine Zidane, Edgar Davids, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, Luis Figo, Pep Guardiola, George Best; they all rated Scholes as one of the all time greats (some of them even said the greatest).
Why don't you admit that Gerrard had no weaknesses and could do everything on the pitch? If you want opinions then many, many great players have hailed Gerrard.
lol. Imagine having so many great players rate Scholes.
And Scholes himself rates Gerard lol
I don’t see the argument there
Messi called Gerrard England's greatest ever player. Zidane called him the best in the world between 06 and 08. I'm sure plenty have said similar about Lampard. Doesn't really prove much, other than it's all just opinions.
I love the fact that Scholes doesn’t say himself almost as if he doesn’t care why would he just look at the trophies he won
Depends on how you set up your team, Basically, who's going to be better
england should've played a 4-3-3 in those days. "sacrificed" gerrard at the base as the def mid, lampard and scholes as pistons, front three of beckham on the right, owen in the middle, rooney on the left, then stick your back 4 in behind that. i think that's the only way you get them all in, in that era. carrick's and hargreaves coming on where necessary.
That's a horrendous system since Gerrard definitely don't have the displine to stay in CDM position he will definitely venture forward out position and definitely by pass the CM's in front of him with long balls.
Lampard as a CM wouldn't work he doesn't have the mobility for that and quick enough feet, Lampard if playing has to be the ACM or SS like for his entire Chelsea career.
Beckham as a wide attacking forward, why just why he doesn't need to go beyond any defenders to cross the ball anyway and he isn't the dribbler or type of striker and lacks the pace for that position.
Scholes at the base, Gerrard and Lampard as box to box; front three: Beckham, Joe Cole and Rooney centrally
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but, seriously, there are some shocking takes on here... FFS 😂
Why can’t we just enjoy each of them as being good footballers, what is the need to debate? #boredom
Pep’s favourite ❤️ huge compliment
There’s something people don’t want to admit Steve can do all but neither was he a specialist ball winner or cdm , he was still a box to box midfielder. But with Paul his the brain 🧠.
If you talk about a midfielder about his goalscoring, he is already ahead of all. Frank the goat.
Lampard pin❤ plzz
Greatest does not mean best. Greatest means what did you win and were you an important part in winning?
Scholes is faaaaar more decorated than both players combined
People need to understand the difference between better and greater and apply context if needed. Having said this, scholes is also the best out of three just slightly.
THIS IS ABOUT INDIVIDUALISM TELL ME SCHOLES BEST POSITION IN BALON DOR OR HOW MANY TOTY HES FEATURED IN
This just shows you, all the ex Chelsea players say Lampard, the ex Liverpool players say Gerrard, but all the neutrals say Scholes. Says it all really. Once you remove the bias it’s clear.
Lamps 🐐
Jamie’s ball knowledge makes me want to throw up
Ha😂
I MEAN WHY JOSE AND ALEX WANNA BUY GERRARD WHEN THEY HAVE LAMP AND SCHOLES ?XD CAUSE HES BETTER COPE
Pointless debate. Scholes was the best of the three by a long way.
The majority of their England teammates picked Gerrard with Scholes a close 2nd
The majority of the England teammates were all ex liverpool/ Gerrards mates. You did get a couple of neatrals saying picking gerrard over schols but for the most part I think scholes is considered better
Even Wayne said Stevie was the best, and that if scholes was in those Liverpool teams, he would not be able to do what Stevie did.
The Liverpool boys picked gerrard and the united boys picked scholes
It's pointless trying to separate the 3 all we're worldclass!!! I loved all 3, But if I had to pick one, the one I could rely on the most would be Stevie G!!! He was as hard as nails!!! A mixture of potency going forward but loved the dirty get stuck in side. It's rare now days to see a midfielder be that dominant in the tackle and press but have the ability to ruin a defence on a whim!!!! A true all rounder!!! Gerrard was Scholes and Keane In one player!!!
Lampard 🐐
Lampard goals
Scholes rythme
Gerrard together 👌
I’m a Chelsea fan gerrard all day long for me he was a beast
When the physical leaves you who won/ still affect a game…physicality is nice and great but age negates that for most faster
Old man Gerrard still had a brilliant season (apart from that slip) at Liverpool when they nearly won the league. Unfortunately many will just remember the slip but its because of him (and Suarez) Liverpool was even close to winning it. He was a bit deeper so he didn't make runs into the box, but I remember he had some very good assists, scored some free kicks as well.
@ I am a MUFC fan through and through however I am. Football fan first…captain fantastic is and was captain fantastic…League of his own
@ 3 players I wish Ferguson would have tried 1. Clearance seedorf 2. JAY JAY OKOCHA 3. Muller at his prime…not even ronaldinho just those three
@ gerrard is in there too. Hahah shhhh 🤫 he would have been a psychological coup and just his sheer will alone would have helped us with carrick and scholes he was everything they were not…not saying better but what gerrard could do only gerrard could…WARRIOR
There was never a debate. It's Paul Scholes.
Viera 💯
Two greatest managers of all time both say Paul Scholes people who understand football know Scholes
Was the best
I hate this debait because they are all so different.. Lamps was a attacking midfielder who was a freak in front of goal.. Paul was a genius and Stevie was the best all round midfielder to ever play in my opinion.. what the debait should be is why didnt they fit in a system for England.. why didnt we win something when we had the best 3 midfielders in the world + Rooney + Owen + Rio and so on.. its crazy that England team won nothing.
Lampard most goals and highest Balon dor finish out of the three. More assists, defensive interceptions and tackles than Gerrard. Its not really a debate if you're objective, Frank is clearly ahead of both.
Who votes in ballon dor? Exactly might as well be carte dor!
Gerrard record prem pfa teams of season so has vote of majority of footballers they'd know!
Imagine a midfield with this 3...
As a utd fan, I’d say scholes but lampard is underrated!
Man yah make it look like Scholes look like he wasn't the top scoring midfielder till lampard broke it cuz him take pens lool Scholes
Carraghe’s argument that Fergie and Mourinho tried to sign Gerrard is a reason he’s better is such a stupid take. Obviously they tried to, he was quality playing for a poor side and they thought there was an opportunity to get him because he was better than playing for Liverpool at the time. Gerard Houllier or Rafa Benetiez are hardly going to bid for serial winners Lampard and Scholes to go from sides competing for the league and champions league every year to a team fighting for top 4, why would they even bother😂. Obviously if they thought they could have got either of them they would have done it immediately.
Scholes was like iniesta xavi. Now if you say they were better than lamp and Gerr, then yes Paul is better.
Maybe unpopular opinion but these three are all similar yet very different players and comparing them doesn't really make sense. Scholes is the best at controlling the entire game from deeper, Gerrard is a number 8 personified basically everywhere on the pitch and can score and defend, Lampard is more like a number 10 and is lethal around the box. As a United fan all three are fantastic players and we unfortunately don't see the like of them anymore these days. Kroos and Modric are the last two that come to mind similar to them.
It’s actually silly i cba
“Captain gerrard”
For me it's Lampard, Gerrard, Scholes
Lampard isn't in the discussion, as great as he was. As everyone here is saying, it's either Scholes or Gerrard.
Scholes won 11 league titles, Gerrard won zero
Gabriel jesus has won 4 kane won zero. Who are you picking?
Gerrard, Scholes Lampard. In that order imo.
Somehow people adore Gerrard just because he played in worse team and was more main character than Lamps and Scholes were in their teams...
Gerrard was better than them for England too.
La Masia showed clips of Scholes in their academy and Xavi even named his kid after Scholes
Apart from the top players a lot of players only played with one of them or in international games which is max 10 a year if you’re lucky. Pep, Henry etc know where it’s at
That was a lie put out by Daily Mail and they were exposed immediately. Google before you circulate propaganda.
Only because they didn’t have clips of Gerrard seriously why would you watch clips of Scholes if they had clips of Gerrard?
Xavi named his kid after Scholes?
Which one? His daughter Asia, or his son Dan?
Fucking deluded, honestly 😂 you have to invent stories for Scholes, says it all. Dan Scholes FFS 😂
It has to be said, they were about the same level. Nothing wrong with saying that. They were pretty equal. Lampard had the best shot and was really good on the ball, dribbling and passing and vision, was very clean and good with the ball. Could defend. Scholes was the most magical and technical, he was pretty much perfect technically. He was the best on the ball and best in possession and right spaces. Lamapard and scholars were pretty similar they were really good with the ball. In my opinion Gerard was less technical than them slightly, but more physical, and better in defense. In his prime a physical monster. Gerard was also fast as shit. Gerard also could play winger pretty well and dribble well from the wings which scholes and lampard couldn’t. But playing on the wings is different than in the middle. The wings have more space and is often dominated by players with speed. The middle is less space and need to be more technical and I think lampard and scholes were better in the middle in situations with small space/tight spaces.
Overall this is how I would describe it. I would compare this comparison to this to understand how to judge these players. For example, Mohammed salad and Sadie mane in Liverpool were absolutely fantastic and were of a very similar level. Many people believe salah was better because he had better stats but this is not true. Mane was someone who did more than just attack and dribble/pass etc. mane was a player who was far superior to salah without the ball and would help the team tremendously with selfless running, amazing stamina and physical attributes, defensive workrate, set pieces both attacking and defending, and tackling and interceptions and of course the best in pressing. Salad did less of this but was more about technical dribbling, amazing goals and assists, great finishing, amazing stats. Overall, both contributed to the team in amazing ways. Now, how would one find out who is actually contributing more to the team OVERALL? Now that is the real question, I would argue Mane personally, of course. But I would understand anyone who says salah. It is virtually impossible to know for sure who is ACTUALLY helping the team more/who the better player is. Obviously is may appear at first glance that it is clearly salah. But I wouldn’t be so quick to overlook manes hard pressing and running off the ball mixed with good skills on the ball. Now, the only way to know FOR SURE would be to measure them in some kind of experiment in their primes which is impossible. You would have to put them both in the same team against same oppositions and then replace the opposite winger with equal players. So basically, when mane is playing, put a different winger than salah, on the other wing, then, put the same quality player on the opposite wing when salad is playing, so it’s fair. And one would have to be right footed when salad is playing, so he can play on the left, and one would have to be left footed when mane is playing, so he can play on the right. 😂

Listen to the people with no bias... Scholes clears as a City fan
How I wish I could go back to 1992
There is no correct answer. It all depends on your opinion, bias and what you measure by. You can set up parameters and ways of judging facts that get any order you want.
As a Utd fan of course I pick Scholes. I've never met a fan of those 3 teams that didn't rate their player the highest
English fans may pick Gerrard. Europen fans Scholes. Football legends pick scholes in a landslide
Lampard for me
Debate is Gerrard or Scholes, Lampard is out
I go for Gerrard, it is the best in nowadays teams
I think you can make a case for any of them 3, but to say it's not even a debate like Carra, you loose all credibility. There's a problem with English ex players, none of them acknowledge Lamps' skills apart from scoring. But Henry selected Lampard over Gerrard in 2021, for the PL hall of fame, I'm glad he did. Ronaldinho took Lamps in his ultimate UCL 11 and Ancelotti also. That's better than any PFA award
Not a debate look at the trophy cabinet
majority of people who say gerrard are either scouse or are linked with them in some way... when you take away petty emotions and agendas, scholes was the better player
Isnt it enough for Scholessy himself to say Gerrard was better

@@ryan_lmao exactly
@@filipaxmer4286 isn't it enough that zidane, henry, xavi, pep etc etc etc said that scholes was the best?
As a Liverpool fan respect to Rooney even though he has was Man Utd. legend, he choose Gerrard. Other Man Utd. players biased like Rio, Neville, etc. Rooney explained it correctly. If Liverpool didn't have Gerrard I don't think we would have even one trophy in that era like Champions league in 2005. Scholes was a Good player in a Great team. Gerrard was the face of Liverpool and still remains forever because he brought glory days for a team which wasn't at the best of the era.
😂 It works both ways, to be fair. I think it's safe to say Carra can be a bit biased in some of his assessments. For what it's worth, I think they were all completely different players, with different qualities. No one could grab a game by the scruff of the neck like Gerrard, eg the screamer against Olympiakos in 2004. But no other English midfielder could control/dictate games like Scholes used to. Anyway, it's all opinions, I suppose... 👍
@@chriscolton6329who was listening to Carra anyway lmao. The fact that Rooney and Scholes himself chose Gerrard really ends the debate.
England should have use 442 diamond. Base of diamond with either Butt, Carrick or Hargreaves, Paul and Stevie in the middle and Lamps at the tips. Striker could go with Owen and Rooney… but England want their darling Beckham. If that’s in the case then go with 4-5-1 base two Carrick and Scholes, LMF Stevie G, Lamp in the middle and Beck on the right. striker use Rooney. They could have win something. England is bless with one of the best CB options and Best LB during at Era. RB was their weakest link. Gary and Beck combo on the right could do massive damage. Thought, Gary is top player he is not top 3 RB during that era!
Vast majority outside england say scholes. He's in the xavi, iniesta, pirlo mould. Could have slotted right into that tiki taka barca side. Its a different level.
This is true he was that same style
Robert Pires
Scholes is the best because he had Lampard's quality (Goal) and Gerrard's quality (box to box) but above all he was a regista, he was the United's mind and this is the best quality in a footballer.
Scholes was more complete than Gerrard and Lampard.
Go watch/Read what Rooney,Keane,Lampard & Scholes say on Gerrard & Gerrard vs Scholes whose best debate! Gerrard clearly the all rounder.
Scholes box-to-box!? Fucking hell, you weren't watching when he played, were you?
Nobody focussed on his passing when he actually played, they focussed on the fact that he couldn't tackle to save his life 😂
@@Doc92IDH Scholes was a box to box midfielder, in fact he scored many goals and made many assists thanks to his offensive insertions.
Furthermore, I remember perfectly his long passages with surgical precision, in fact I wrote that he was a regista.
