Best Midfielder?

On Sunday night, Steve Mcmahon proclaimed Steven Gerrard as the best midfielder in the world.

I disagree.

If you recall, Zidane called him one of the best "players" in the world.

To be called the best midfielder in the world, you need to play in midfield. And Gerrard has not done that in a long time now. For both club and country.

Zidane was, is and always will be the best midfielder in the world. With Kaka coming a close second.

Here's my top 5 of the best midfielders in the world to have grazed the grass for the past decade.

5. Gerrard (when he was playing in midfield)
4. Roy Keane
3. Xavi
2. Kaka
1. Zidane

Well, I was targetting central midfielders and hence Becks got left out. As for Lampard, I wouldn't put him ahead of any of the 5 I've mentioned.

Talking about being left out, I guess it is harsh that Makalele was not in the list. Maybe the one player who might sneak in.
