Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes in the same discussion.
I wonder which way this thread will go.
Gerrard n Pogba played in the worst teams for sure. Yet one was Gerrard n the others well erm benched.
Go on then

Hard to compare a Vieira/Keane to a Silva/Mata.
I'd go:
Vieira
KdB
Gerrard
Keane
Toure
Scholes
Fabregas
Lampard
Essien
Kante
Makelele
The bottom two are mainly because I am looking at it as all-round midfielders. They both did/do their job to the highest standards, but Makelele especially barely left his little area of the pitch.
Pogba ahead of Fabregas based on?
Cesc was a bit of a bottler, just like Pogba. And I think Pogba won more games than Cesc did.
How does Pogba get on the list and not Henderson OP?
Scholes
Gerrard
De Bruyne
Lampard
Viera
Keane
Fabregas
Silva
Toure
Makalele
Essien
Kante
Pogba
Mata
Because Henderson is a donkey. No more comments about Henderson.
Comparing Keane against Lampard is just impossible because of their roles in the team, as is comparing KDB against Scholes given that one is still playing and the other isn't.
Stephen Gerrard
Roy Keane
Yaya Toure
Frank Lampard
Michael Essien
Kevin De Bruyne
David Silva
Patrick Viera
Paul Scholes
Claude Makelele
Ngolo Kante
Cesc Fabregas
Juan Mata
Paul Pogba
Asking people to compare makelele and de Bruyne is like asking people to compare Ashley Cole and Thierry Henry

Totally agree. He has no discerning football skills other than spit and moan at officials
He is a legend in his club
I think Eriksen was one of the best players in the league in the season 2015, if not the best FYI
Does anyone ever factor in entertainment to these lists? I do personally which is why I never have Lampard particularly high in these things for example. His numbers are insane but I don't watch footy for cleanly struck deflections myself. Where as, again just as an example, Keane vs Juve as a performance is everything I love about football (apart from it being Utd of course). Yaya Toure breaking the lines marauding forward, Silva being a magician and so on.
Worth noting wahl wasnt alive during some of these players peak.
Yeah, there a few players I could have added to the list now that I've thought a little more. Ballack, Modric, Eriksen, Dembele, Bruno Fernandes and Fernandinho maybe.
Matic too! How could I forget him.

Because he's been utterly average in comparison to the others bar a 16 month spell at Chelsea once.
