Answer 2

gerrard played the best for us last night did lampard even run once at the opposition it wasnt gerrards best game but a least he caused a problem for the czechs

4 or 3

Answer 3

3.Iam no fan of Gerrard,but benching him has to be a horrible idea.

Answer 4

either 3 or 4 - I would not give kudos to any manager that left Gerrard on the bench regardless of who else was on the pitch...

Answer 5

Midfield Attack Central

Answer 6

He is so good.He can play everywhere

Answer 7

None of your choices - he should play for Accrington Stanley - until he learns to play properly at international level with consistency

Answer 8

3. in the centre with someone like Hargreaves so he has the freedom to do what he does best!

So many times he has been played out of position for England so they can accommodate Lampard, the whole point of them doing this is so Lampard can attack the opposition and so far he has failed to do this, yet when Lampard isn't playing and Gerrard is in his natural position, Gerrard is usually our best player, surely that is enough proof the Lampard shouldn't be in the starting 11?!

Lampard only looks good for Chelsea because they have so many creative players to do all the work, all he has to do is have 20 shots a game and eventually he will score and take all the glory!

I really don't understand why they can't play well together, it has to be down to Lampard because Scholes never had a problem playing with Gerrard, there was always an understanding between the two when one goes forward the stays back to cover and vice versa, but i suppose thats what you get when two great footballing minds play together instead of one and one overrated fatty!  

Answer 9

Id say a forward attacking midfield position with Lampard behind to control the center.  They're both amazing mid-fielders and to bench either one of them would be madness.

Answer 10

he's good in the bench

that little steven i-am-so-overrated gerrard doesnt deserve a place on the ENGLAND squad!

Answer 11

In Lampards place, with Lampard on the bench

Answer 12

5) or 4) depending on how Lampard is playing. The two should never be played together and I cannot help feel that Lampard is the slightly better option in the England set up. If Lampard is on form then on the bench, if Lampard is playing c**p then just behind the strikers but with free reign to move about, neither player responds well when they are tightly bound to a position.

Answer 13

In place of Frank Lampard! Dump that didie in the stand

Answer 14

I'd play him one half and Lampard the other half and tell both they are free agents on the field to do as they see fit.

Answer 15

In his correct position!

Centre mid.

Answer 16

I'd play him for a fool.

Answer 17

Behind the Strikers

Answer 18

3) In the centre of the park

and drop Lampard

Although Lampard is a great player, England don't have the right balance in the middle of the park
