scholes

is this serious? looooooooooooooool

gerrard is/was 5 times the player scholes was at their primes and this comes from somebody who thinks scholes has been one of the 5 best midfielders for the last 15 years!

was there ever such a complete football player as gerrard?

Gerrard.The complete midfielder and probably player in recent times.

PS:

Would be great if u could add a poll.

Lol Gerrard wasnt even better than Ballack let alone Scholes.

Both edged Ballack at their prime.

Gerard was slightly better than Scholes but I rate Scholes higher due to keeping his top game more

Ballack is as good Gerrard.Both better than scholes

Scholes has the fact that he played in a CL final recently, while Gerrard couldn't even keep his team in the CL. But Gerrard is a beast. Such an inspirational player.

Gerrard wins but you can't really compare them.

Gerrard or Xavi then? What kind of stupid question is this? WHat is Gerrard better at, passing, no, long range passing no, shooting, no, controlling the tempo, no inspiration, yes, football intelligence, no. tackling yes. There is a reason why all the great MF consider scholes the best and Gerrard, not so much. Go figure. the only similarities between them is that they are english, no comparison.

Scholes for me.

Scholes would have spent half his career in suspension if he referees werent Fergie's pet.Such a disgraceful tackler.

The pathetic thing was that refs were taking the view aall through his career. 'Oh its Scholes I'll let him do two more leg breaking tackles otherwise he'll be off after 30 mins and Fergie girl will cry'.

Its nonsense comparing him with proper footballers like Gerrard or Ballack in the first place.

Gerrard for me.Simply the best English player i've ever watched.

Major LOLs @ Scholes not being a “proper” footballer

Well i dont believe u can call a player whose sole interpretation of tackling is breaking opponents leg is not a proper football.

at their prime, stevie G, he and a few others carried 'pool (and rafa benitz) for a long time
although on their carear as a whole id take scholes, hes much less injury prone and has much greater longetivity

No one asked u to educate others.Go see videos of how he tackled throughout his career or how he repeatedly targeting Alonso's ankle whenever we played them with pathetic tackles and even breaking it once.

Gerrard is better then Scholes. Deal with it.

Ballack better then Gerrard?? mmmm....yea.no

Scholes was a bad tackler. You can't deny that. Even the Mancs agree with that. That doesn't mean he's a bad footballer though. He was good. But people on here treat him as if he's some sort of footballing God.

Both are the players that are well above English standards.

As for passing, no one but Xavi and Pirlo can compare with Scholes, so he is really better then Gerrard in that department.

Gerrad is great shooter of the ball, but then again Scholes had a best half-voley shoot in the world.

In Gerrard's favour he is more vocal on the pitch, and is a true leader. He drag often average Liverpool side on his own, while Scholes was surround with better players.

Both are game changers, and both are great players. For now Scholes is a ahead of him, but if Gerrard can avoid injuries and play 2-3 more seasons on high level, he could be there.

Gerrard's not vocal... And honestly did Scholes have the best half-volley shots in the world? Youtube?

Anyway. This thread should of been Scholes vs Pirlo. ._.

Yes he is.

And yes he did.

Uhm. No he isn't.

And how honestly can you say that?
