Blues supporters responded on Twitter by urging the club to sell him for his “shocking and vile” comments, albeit tongue-in-cheek.

“Obviously Lampard was top at what he did, and what he did was score goals, and no other midfielder can do that like Lamps.

“But the way Gerrard leads as well, I’d say Gerrard.”
