Two players who have been labelled world class by their own fans but have never been are Lampard and Gerrard.
Both very good players but severely limited ability wise and made careers of scoring shots. Their all round play is mediocre at best
The ability to have world class moments is not the same as being world class. Sadly but true.
Bartons a semi decent footballer (at best) but due to a total lack of professionalism and anger issues will never reach anything near rooney's level, he knows this and every now and again resorts to silly outbursts in the media and on social media to make himself believe he is in any way relevant, gobby little wannabe hardman.

you're having a laugh aren't you?
I don't think Joey Barton has lived up to his early potential of being a decent PL footballer.
He has his moments in The Championship, but not enough to be outstanding and not enough for someone to think 'He should be playing in the PL.'
and some of the memories he has given us over the years are so easily forgotten, the latest of which was only a couple of weeks ago

If Zlatan had scored that one people on here would still be jizzing themselves over it.

Not at all.
Neither of them are funny.

A simply ridiculous and poorly thought out comment.
If Rooney had world class players to play along side he'd be at that level, carryign united for a decade has taken it's toll on him.
You need a foreign name to be world class

What makes Gerrard and Lampard world class?
A player who looks like he can become the record goalscorer for Man Utd and England isn't considered good enough to be called world class?

Well what makes Gerrard world class is his ability to play pretty much every position for club and country.
If you can find me another footballer who can play RB, DM, CM, AM, RWF, LWF and SS at a high level I'll give you a .
There are better CM's, there are better wingers, there are better SS's but there are no more complete footballers than Steven Gerrard.
Gerrard's shooting is very good, everything else decent.
Lampard scores goals from midfield, for a midfielder his passing game is poor.
You watch Lampard and ask, apart from ghosting in late and scoring a deflected goal, what else is there?

The fact he has not been able to secure a regular berth in a particular position on the football pitch further emphasises why he is not world class.
You do not see Ancelotti telling Ronaldo to play in defence

Yes
Shrek is a good player but he's not a top, top player like Gerrard.
Gerrard is obviously world class.
The term World is easily abused. A world class player is one that can easily replace a player that is currently in the World XI without causing too much imbalance. You can replace Vidal with Xavi in the World XI because he is world class. You can replace Suarez with Ibrahimovic because he is world class. The same with Kompany and Thiago Silva.
If a player has a moment of world class is now considered then there should be a new category called ELITE.
