Frank Lampard - 534 games, 179 goals and 114 assists (all with Chelsea not counting West Ham and Swansea).
Steven Gerrard - 563 games, 142 goals and 83 assists (Obviously all with Liverpool). 01/02 stats say no assists may be wrong.
Xavi - 602 games, 66 goals and 73 assists (all with Barcelona not counting Barca B). 01-05 stats say no assists will be wrong.
Even with the maybe missing seasons for Gerrard and Xavi that really is something to be proud of Lampsy.

I'm not sure where you're getting at, as all three are different types of players which can't be compared by means of stats alone.
Ramires looks like a great midfielder btw
Been impressesd when I have watched him
Took a good 6 months to settle but has arguably been our best player this season.
Well they can, both Gerrard and Lampard have been said as similar type of players.
scores goals aswell
Maybe Lampards replacement?
I think he will be mate, he does have something Lampard has never had and that is bags of pace. He drives forward from midfield and he is just frightning, always gets that last vital touch on the ball and then gets bought down and because its at pace the player who made the foul usualy gets booked. But and this is a huge but he is absolutely shocking at finishing, if he knew how to finish he would have scored about 15 goals already this season. Luckily finishing is something he can work on and i see him becoming one of the best most feared centre midfielder's in the game one day.

We were very lucky that Ramires didn't play against us. He's your only centre that can pick the ball up and really drive towards defences, much like Dembele does for us. You lack penetration without him.
Agreed, missed the game against you we dropped 2 points and missed the game against Wigan and we dropped 2 points. Huge player for us.
Maybe you could compare Gerrard and Lampard, but comparing either, let alone both, of them with Xavi is ludicrous at best.
Nothing wrong with Rami's finishing; it isn't on Lamps' level, but it's not bad.
Its not great lets be honest, i can remember off the top of my head atleast 5 times him going through one and one and hitting the keeper. Both of his finishes against Swansea were quite poor finishes too. Im not knocking the lad because he is a fantastic player i just think the only area he needs to work on is his finishing. Oh and maybe his timing of tackling, its not great.
Its just comparing their games, goals and assists thats all. Not saying either is better than the other but i personly feel Lamps gets more slack than the other two, always has done and always will do.
Same can be said for Gervinho he could have scored at least 2 yesterday
Yer i think his end product can be better will become a great player though i can see it, he has all the attributes even if he has the biggest spam in Europe.
it is.
To what end? They fulfill different roles on the pitch, there's not much point comparing them.
Assists and goals are something expected by all 3.
