Just when you think Steven Gerrard was the star of the day with his two goals, his old foe Frank Lampard goes and bags a brace himself….no wonder England managers can’t choose between them.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard's display in the Champions League final. I like Lampard's attitude and he scored a massive goal in the semi-final. He did it again in the final and, in my eyes, Chelsea deserved to win. They played better than United and I say that even though I've supported Manchester since I was a child.

Top-quality players are on the same wavelength and I wouldn't see a problem with whatever system Felipe decided to utilise ... You can see Didier's ability to get hold of the ball and bring other people into the game. He's the best there is at it. He can get hold of a ball on his chest, kill the game and allow Frank [Lampard] and Michael Ballack to get forward into the box.
said Ray Wilkins
He is the best there is at it. He can get hold of the ball on his chest and kill the game up front for us. It allows the likes of Frank Lampard and Michael Ballack the opportunity to get forward and into the penalty area.

Quotes from articles mentioning Frank Lampard
There are obviously big clubs in the world but while certain people think it might be a progression if they move somewhere else, I don’t think it is. I am lucky in that I’ve had everything I need. I’m at Manchester United and from Manchester. What more do I need?

If players fancy a move and a bit of money then good luck to them but if they’re at such a place like this I don’t think they realise how lucky they are to be playing here

We like him, though, and he's our No1 priority. Mourinho likes Lampard a lot. We all know that he can be a great player with us.
