You tried claiming you preferred Gerrard over Scholes because of his 'all round capabilities' which was bizarre enough for any non-Liverpool fan to say. But the mask slipped when you referenced Van Dijk getting man of the match in the champions league final vs Spurs and compared that to Vidic vs Barca in 2011 as if that was valid justification as to why you think Van Dijk was a better defender than Vidic. You're just another Liverpool fan on here who is too embarrassed to put Liverpool in the support field.
First of all I don't have to prove to you that I'm a Man United fan. Think what you want, I don't care.
Secondly, I didn't say just for the "all round capabilities". I also said by "peak performance". Something I hadn't said yet was the individual awards.
Do you really think Scholes would be better as an anchor player than Gerrard? Do you think Scholes was better than Gerrard as Box-to-Box? Do you think Scholes was better than Gerrard as CAM? It is in this sense that I said that Gerrard was the best for peak performance and all round capabilities.
I think Scholes was the superior passer and harder to take the ball off of. And while the other two did score more goals, I don't think the difference is actually that big (and may not even be an advantage for the other two at all to be honest). Scholes scored a good bit for the first decade or so of his career (until his role changed to be a bit deeper) and scored some really great goals, and he didn't get a boatload of penalty goals like Lampard and Gerrard did. So when you take out penalties, Scholes comes out right in line with those guys in scoring rate for his career, despite having played a deeper role for almost a decade at the end. Scholes was world class as a CAM (but I consider Gerrard superior in that role) and as more of a deep lying playmaker (in this role I consider Scholes the best). I think Scholes had better teammates generally, so wasn't seen as his team's talisman like the other two were (and, of course, the flipside of having better teammates is that Scholes won more).
For Gerrard vs. Lampard, I tend to go with Gerrard, but it's close IMO. Two things tip the balance for me. First is that Gerrard's passing range was better IMO. Second, Gerrard just came through in some big, dramatic moments. I tend to think that coming through in big moments is kind of random and lucky, but when there's not much between the two it's the type of thing that can swing the balance. Winning the Champions League in 2005 with Liverpool (against an incredible AC Milan team) was probably the most impressive achievement that any of these players have.
