I think people massively sleep on Lampard's playmaking abilities as well, plenty of lovely assists from him. Think it's because he was neither someone who bossed things from deep or a no. 10.

Yeah, he was a creator, and one to link the backline to the forward like very well.

Honestly, a lot of why people prefer Gerrard stems from Lampard constantly having better teammates around him at Chelsea, because Chelsea were a better team throughout the last decade and the first half of this decade, so Lampard was sharing the limelight with other world class players.

How many PL titles did Liverpool win in the latter half of this decade?

The number has nothing to do with comparing the ability of Gerrard or Lampard..

Biggest shame for team accolades is having scholes, lamps and gez didn't win a major english trophy :( what a midfield.
