Can Lampard and Gerrard play again in the mid field together?

Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard are together well known as the mid-fielders of England but in the last two years they have not been playing their role well. It may be because of the lack of good partnership between the two players or may be the two players are not fit for one another. But Lampard insists that it is not about the bad partnership of him and Gerrard and assured that they will try their best to perform the best in the coming World Cup qualifying matches.

England will play the World Cup 2010 qualifying match with Kazakhstan on Saturday 11 and this is more like the test for the combination of the Gerrard and Lampard in the mid field. And if they are not fit to play together in the mid field, then there may be subsequent replacement of the position of one of the player (most probably Gerrard). As the partnership of Lampard and Gareth Barry was fantastic in the match against Croatia and won the match with the big score 4-1.

But about the issue, Lampard does not want to give more importance in the role of each player rather he wants his team to win and wants everyone to concentrate on the winning of the England.

Lampard Says:

“We both want to be at our best for England and will probably say that, for the last couple of years, we haven’t done that. Everyone is trying to find the solution but it’s not just me and Steven Gerrard, it’s the whole team. My view is that it is very important to talk about the team. We look into the wrong issues. It’s not about individuals. If you look to much into things you can create your own problems. What we want is to win the game. There are times with any partnership when it works on the pitch and when it doesn’t. We are breaking it down much too much at the moment. What’s important is getting results and not trying to find issues with certain players. Me and Steven get on very well off the pitch and I think we get on well on the pitch but we want to improve as we haven’t done what we could do in the last couple of years. Steven and hopefully myself have been playing at a high level for our clubs and people expect the same thing playing for England but that’s not necessarily always going to happen. The end result is that you want to see England win.”
