but if gerrard+lampard doesn't work on an international level

it won't work at a club level either. As i just said below, gerrard and lampard need two things to play well - a defending midfielder who can win and hold the ball and then release them with incisive passing through the centre, and a target man who can turn and hold the ball in the last third, giving them time to join the attack. England played neither last night.
