The Seeker 3,048 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Gnasher I agree and a good post IMO I thought he's a half decent player at club level but never really did it for me with an England shirt. Much the same as Lampard very average with three lions on their chest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,591 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 I suspect that it also has to do with that a great proportion of black players don't want to become managers ! I find they have difficulty stringing a sentence together and don't share the same aspirations as their 'white brethren'..........just my take on it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much the same as Lampard very average with three lions on their chest. I think you are comparing a player who was overrated ( Barnes ) with a player who was underrated ( Lampard )......Barnes never scored a goal in a competetive tournament with an England shirt on,i can rarely remember him even having a good game....Lampard on the other hand scored more goals for England than any other midfielder in history,was voted England player of the Year 3 years running,untold man of the match appearances for England.......i think we often compare some of these players England performances to their club performances which is unfair as they are playing with far superior players for their club,sad as it is to say. Lampard at least gave everything for England and was proud to represent his country......Barnes dont forget admitted he only chose England because we asked him first so hardly surprising he played like he couldnt give a f**k.......i dont often take a dislike to a pro sportsman but i cant stand that prat.....as someone else said Garth Crooks he was another whingeing c**t....... AFTER England had made him a big star that is ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Lampards goal record cant be faulted, but IMO his shoot on sight attitude cost you midfield creativity in the long term. Successive England managers tried and failed to get the Gerard/Lampard combo to work in the middle despite plenty of evidence to suggest it would never work. its not lampards fault though, it was a symptom of the systems he was asked to play in.

The Seeker 3,048 Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's hard for me to explain what I mean about Lampard, yes his goal scoring record was impressive but I just felt pulling the three lions shirt on didn't hold that same importance for him as it did for say the likes of Gerrard. As for John Barnes yes I agree never really did it for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
