I seriously think that Fat Frank is more adapt for the pace of the English game though he lumbers along. In a more sophisticated, international environment (see World Cup), he will be lost. What do you think?
Negative: Lamptard is an above average English player who plays for a team set up with a heavily protective midfield. Say, Essien, Makelele, Lamptard aren't all-out attacking central midfielders. They work hard for each other, and I think Lamptard benefits from the class of the players he gets to play with. In other words, he benefits from Moanrinho's system and Abramovich's oil fields.
Worse still, he shoots and fails to score on the big stage when it really matters.
Positive: he does dare to shoot. witness those deflected goals. You don't shoot, you don't score. A team wins by scoring more and conceding less, bottom line, so I could not quite care how the goals are scored, thingies of beauty or not. I mean, the Chelski blueshites still like to allege that Garcia's "goal" should never have counted. But it's a goal (emphasis on the lack of open and inverted commas) and I don't see them bemoaning Lamptard scoring from deflections.

He should aim for a move to Inter Milan. That would add a fat tire to all those Pirelli's over there.
Hahahaha! EVIL!

Yes, you are right, Fat Frank did benefit from these splendid midfielders. Sadly, the same can't be said for the English national team?
Yes, he failed to score despite 40 or more attempts during the World Cup. That was really poor.
