He could’ve played scholes role 100% but scholes was arguably the best in the world in his position. He was more limited than Gerrard though and admits he wasn’t an athlete like Gerrard was. Scholes was sublime though, they both were but very different.
Gerrard : Was most complete midfielder ..as Jamie correctly said..No.6 ..No.8 ..No.10 ..Right Left...he could do it all..and may be circumstances at Liverpool really forged him into one.. Lampard - for me was the Striker of Midfielders..if that phrase makes any sense..he in comparsion to other two wouldn't drop and take the ball off defence..then pass..swivel..then spray it wide etc...but when the ball was dodging around in the opponents box I haven't seen any other MF...sort out his body and come into a striking position as quickly as Lampard...that's why he was striker of midfielders..because he had that instinct to just do the right thing in the opponent's box... Scholes..ofcourse the long range passing or striking everyone knows and debates about...but the point that he spent first 10 years in a 2 midfield with Keane...that allowed United to go into matches with 2 strikers..that contribution doesnt get measured as a stat like goals/assists...but it was immense..and he was what I said Lampard wasn't dictating play...taking the ball off defence...swiveling passing it ahead..then running and playmaking in the final third...!
Paul Scholes after Roy Keane left the club literally RAN premier league games every week, consistent, no frills just dominated every midfield we played even when up against the great Steven Gerrards Liverpool midfield play. Paul Scholes set up attacks and helped in recovery. Stephen Gerarrd wasn't running games against the big teams. He was inspirational yes, but Paul Scholes is an all-time great. Carragher admitted Liverpool were outplayed and outrun in the 2005 against a top ac milan team. Where was steven gerrard? Why did he get over run except for anfew inspirational moments in the run-up games and the final? Inspirational is good enough for Liverpool Fc but thats why he never won yous a premier league. Scholes v gerrard isnt seriously on the table if you talk to zidane, xavi,iniesta,pep. Stephen Gerard is a Liverpool great. Stick Paul Scholes in the centre for Liverpool, your chances created would have doubled. Very simple Sir Alex wanted class and greatness not inspirational and fighting spirit.
wtf you on, Scholes in that liverpool side wouldnt do anything. not cause hes a bad player, but cause gerrard was the all time hard carry for liverpool. stick gerrard in that united side over scholes youll never know hes missing.
I disagree Gerrard couldn't control the game or pass like Scholes did in the united team they were different types of midfielder Gerrard was a jack of all trades Scholes was a master passer and controller, Gerrard's impact undeniable but what Scholes did doesn't get highlighted because it set the tone not necessarily to have impact
@@IvorBrynMike gerrard didn’t control games he dominated them just in a different way to scholes. I’m not having Fergie wouldn’t have made him Robson mk2. Fergie, like with Gazza, would’ve made him even more of a monster in a team of stars. It’s scary to think about really. He would’ve won it all with Jose but Fergie would’ve harnessed him better imo
Xavi Zidane Pirlo best midfielders in the world says Scholes is the best in the world ….legends respect legends,the mastermind behind Uniteds game was Scholes so he wins leagues Gerrard may win some games but Scholes is different ….i learn how great he is now that United is crumbling down…Zidane was asked ‘whats its like being the best midfielder in the world’ he said ‘ask Paul Scholes’
Scholes picked Gerrard. Gerrard was an athlete and scholes admitted he couldn’t have done what Gerrard did for Liverpool. Scholes was the worlds best in 1 position, Gerrard could be MOTM in any position.
I respect Roy Keane for this. I thought he would've said Scholes outright.
Same here
Tough decision, both players were excellent and quite different.
Paul Scholes is a pure midfielder for me,
@@aadesh61And Stevie is a pure baller.
Now if it was Denis Irwin haha.
Loyalty so Keane things Gerrard too! 😂
Roy didnt play with the controlling midfield version of Scholes..
Fair play all 3 were good it's all about money now so
Says it all really
Gerrard massive influence on liverpool but scholes was at a higher level with better teammates
Wrong comparison, Gerard would of been a natural replacement for Roy Keane not scholes
He could’ve played scholes role 100% but scholes was arguably the best in the world in his position. He was more limited than Gerrard though and admits he wasn’t an athlete like Gerrard was. Scholes was sublime though, they both were but very different.
@@truevanpencil5403 brillant explanation
Stevie G❤
Are you out of you mind???
Scholes was the best
Period

Hahaa i think your comment is too bitter...the fact is, gerrard is better...
good argument from Carragher, if you put Gerrard in United or Chelsea team instead Lampard and Scholes i think they really get even better.

Honestly the PL debate should be carrick v scholes v mcmanaman.
He’s clearly not anywhere near Zidane’s level come on 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
