Talismanic Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, who has featured for most of the season in a supporting striker's role, has admitted that he regarded Chelsea's box-to-box midfielder, Frank Lampard, as a serious contender for end of season accolades and cannot explain how the Blues man was snubbed for the commendations.
The Liverpool leader is quoted by This Is London as saying, "I was fully aware of the competition from Frank and surprised he seemed to be forgotten. He has had a great season and is such a consistent player.
"To get the nod above Frank and the others was a fantastic feeling.
"I felt the way he's been playing he would have been worthy of at least getting in the PFA Team of the Year. He is a fantastic player and he proves it by scoring 20 plus, year in year out.
"He is setting the standard for all the other players."
