Imho, one of the most overrated players of recent years. He was outstanding in their Champions league final win, under Benitez, and scored a cup final winning goal, but against a shite West Ham. Despite those highlights, my abiding memory is of him overhitting long balls - season after season.
There was a mildly humourous video put out some years ago where James Corden was giving the England squad a spoof team talk, and he addressed Lampard and Gerrard, saying to Lampard that he was a good player, but, not quite as good as Gerrard. That summed up the general media view, which I always disagreed with - I'd have taken Lampard over Gerrard at any time.
It'll be very interesting to see what develops now they have similar calibre of clubs to manage.
