Steven Gerrard v Paul Scholes




Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard       Trumps
Passing 9
Had such a great range of passing but tended to go for the 'Hollywood' pass a little too often.
Tackling 8
Was a great tackler, the problem was that he would go to sleep in defensive situations and require a tackle in his own penalty box far too often.
Shooting 8
One hell of a shot on him, but spent most of his career taking on the long shot when there was a better option. Luckily he had the ability to ensure a lot of them flew into the top corner.
Defensive Awareness 6
By far and away the weakest part of his game. In open play he would often end up chasing the play defensively as he lacked awareness.
Movement 9
Had truly excellent movement off the ball which allowed him to usually be open to receive the ball.

Paul Scholes

Paul Scholes       Trumps
Passing 9
One of the best passers of the ball in recent years, he had a great range of passes and the vision to see the right ball, as well as play it.
Tackling 6
Certainly could tackle if he had wanted to, but he preferred to just kick people as he could get away with it.
Shooting 9
You could see why he started out in the first team as a striker, he was always a danger in and around the box.
Defensive Awareness 7
This was the aspect of his game that he improved over his career. By the time he retired it was excellent.
Movement 8
Very good movement, always looking to get himself into space to receive a ball.
