I compare him to Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Pirlo, Gerrard is a different player his game up until 32 was more of a pure number 10. Before anyone @'s me he played nominally as a cm but didn't have the positional discipline of a Scholes post 2004 and could not measure the tempo of the game. Gerrard was always kick and rush.

@@DirtyJamesUKA United fan who's always admired Gerrard, not just for how good he was, I admired his loyalty. Shearer, Totti, Van Persie, all players who sacrificed silverware to remain at a club they loved. Gerrard is without question the best example of a player who's made this sacrifice. He could have gone to any team on the continent and gotten into their starting XI regardless of who was already there. Systems would be changed to accommodate a player like Gerrard (no different from the national team's coaches who had the Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes dilemma) The Premier League's best ever 'all rounder' in my opinion, BUT, like you said Gerrard's passion was probably his greatest attribute (which is saying something) Scholes on the other hand was just ridiculous. Feared on the edge of the box, goals from vollies, shots from distance was what got him noticed. How many midfielders have scored a hat trick at a World Cup, their first World Cup?! Scholes has! (VS Tunisia, '98 group stage) Sir Alex thought signing Veron, playing Scholes in a more advanced role would be for the good of the club, it wasn't, Veron was made to piss off, Veron!!!? Best passer the Premier League's ever seen, hitting a ball to 50m, 60m+ to a teammate's feet, perfectly weighted passes for teammates to run onto, AND, THE VOLLEY VS VILLA! Couldn't tackle to save his life but as far as controlling the tempo, dictating play, MAKING OTHER PLAYERS LOOK BETTER THAN THEY WERE, Scholes
