I've often wondered exactly how it would have worked if Gerrard had moved to Chelsea because they'd have had the same problem there. I suspect it would have ended up the same way: Lampard was a fairly limited player in his range of skills so if both were playing he would have to be in the middle, while Gerrard would be cursed by his relative versatility to sit out wide. I'm sure England even tried to use both in a midfield 3 but that didn't work either.
