Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard, were considered as the best midfielders that had played for England and complementing them upfront was Michael Owen, who was a fantastic finisher in front of goal. Recently the former Liverpool and Manchester United striker appeared on The Greatest Game with Jamie Carragher podcast and shared his thoughts on current Rangers manager Gerrard.
Michael Owen rates Steven Gerrard higher than Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard
Michael Owen who won the FA Cup and UEFA Cup with Liverpool is convinced that Gerrard was the best player out of the trio, saying the former Liverpool captain was 'on a different level' to anyone he’s seen or played with. During the show, Michael Owen said that Scholes is just total and utter genius. He said that Scholes had different attributes in terms of the way he changed his game from being a bombing midfielder scoring to a quarterback.
Speaking about current Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, Michael Owen said that there is no one to question his goalscoring ability, but for him, Steven Gerrard is on a different level than anything that he has seen or played with. He also said that he has played with some great Manchester United players, Liverpool players, Real Madrid and England, but if you ask him to rewind the clock, and pick player playing in the Champions League final, then he would have Steven Gerrard as his first pick out of anyone.
