Zidane on Gerrard. http://m.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/mar/13/zinedine-zidane-steven-gerrard-liverpool
Seems Zidane is rather fickle in making his mind up on the subject. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...les-regrets-lining-Manchester-United-ace.html Just a few quotes from the man himself: 'there is no doubt for me that Paul Scholes is still in a class of his own,' 'He's almost untouchable in what he does. I never tire of watching him play.' 'You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get.' There is nothing more complimentary or assuring than your colleagues... Here are more quotes on Scholes from colleagues, if you're going down that route: http://www.ibtimes.com/sportsnet/top-10-quotes-about-paul-scholes-781763# The praise for Scholes is endless. http://www.strikerstackle.com/paul-scholes-quotes-the-best-english-midfielder-of-his-generation/
Gerrard the one I'd least want to have on the opposition, Scholes the guy I'd want most on my team. I'd probably call Gerrard the better of the two in the end.
Which season did Scholes carry United to a title? And even so, Gerrard carried us to a Champions League. A team that's best left-back was Djimi Traore.
I'd have taken both Gerrard and Lampard over Scholes tbh... Then again I wouldn't bank on my football knowledge in a debate of this nature.
tough question. really tough. id take gerrard just. The overall attribute to edge it was his ability to drag/enourage/motivate players to up there games by 10%. Its a rare attribute to have and something that should not be underestimated.

I hate the way when Gerrard shoots outside the box, all commentators hope to get a sound bite by going, GeeeerrrrRRRRRAAAAARRRRRRDDDDDDD! He almost always drills it into a defender.
I seem to recall him doing a second one against Arsenal at a later date. Might have put Cesc through?
