Who is better and should be permenant in the England team? In my opinion, it should be Gerrard, simply because he is the driving force of Liverpool and therefore will definitely influence England team. Lampard on the other hand, he plays good only in Chelsea because of his other superstar international teammates. Without their assistance, he simply can't perform. What do you all think?

Gerrard should be the captain. He so influential. As a liverpool captain he is the skeleton of the team. I hope can i see barry playing along side gerrard in liverpool.

yes, gerrard absolutely. because he is a captain for liverpool. it shows that he most valuable player. so, england must stay him in team. lampard is up and down player. not consistent.he also just player, cannot influence and give strongest for other team mate..that my opinion...

i fully agree with you that steven gerrad is more aggresive and dominating midfield player .He has been an inspiration for liverpool in many game and the famous one being there european cup win in istanbul against AC milan.He always leads from front and in my opinon he should be made the captain of england football team

I think that so far the verdict is unanimous . It's Steven Gerrard all the way, also for the Regular Captaincy of England Steven Gerrard is the guy who would gain the respect of the other players, but no more of this changing from one to the other. Fabio Capello (I hope that he visits mylot) must reinstate some continuity to the Captains position.

I agree with you, Gerrard is the more consistent player, and I'd like to see him permanently in the England team. Lampard can play well, but as you say, he seems to play better in his Club team, and although when he plays well, he's noticeable, that is not always the case. He seems to blow hot and cold. My vote is for Gerrard, most definitely! Brightest Blessings.

I think recent performances prove that Lampard plays better for Chelsea than for England. But, given the fact that he played so well under Mourinho might give the hope that he might play well under Capello who is equally demanding and in your face type. Gerrard on the other hand has been a good performer for both country and club, but seems to enjoy playing with Barry better than with Lampard. I think he might get the captain's arm band from Capello. Cheers! Ram

Both players are well established players in their clubs, but when it comes to the England team, Lampard hasnt been playing to his normal standards. I would think that Gerrard is the better player. He has this mentality that he has to single handedly take on the other team and get a goal (sometimes) and this is what makes him play so well in big games. Looking at Capello's tactics he would play 2 holding midfielder's, most likely would be hargreaves and barry. This would mean Gerrard would be able to play as a free roaming attacking midfielder which is his best position. Gerrard all the way!!!
