Long time lurker, first time poster.. Well, technically second time but you guys and girls get the point.
I have found it hard to put into words about how I feel in regards to Frank Lampard and this Manchester City situation. On one hand, I can't dislike Frank Lampard. I just can't. What he has done for this club is indescribable. With him in our side, we went from a cup team to being Premier League Champions and eventually Champions of Europe. Record goal scorer, he scored THAT penalty against Liverpool for crying out loud. We owe him the World.
On the other hand, I can't help feel disappointed in his actions. I have no problem with him playing for Manchester City. I have no problem with him scoring against Chelsea.. besides the obvious. The thing that irks me a little is the lies.
I'm not going to play for another English team besides Chelsea.
I'm not going to play against Chelsea.
Those are two that are definitive lies. The contract issue is hard. Nobody knows for sure but you can draw your own conclusion.
What can you say?
I still love and respect Frank Lampard but I can't help feeling a little disappointed in his actions. The thing that has saddened me most about this affair is how it has divided the fan base. If you say anything bad about Lampard.. then you are not a real fan. If you aren't upset about this then you are not a real fan either.
Lampard is still a legend and maybe the greatest Chelsea player of all time but I'm still a little disappointed.
2-1 would have been acceptable. 3-1 almost mission impossible. Chelsea have 2 players who i think would have made all the difference yesterday. Unfortunately, at the moment, they don't play for the club. Petr Cech has been a stalwart the past 9-10 years but I think it's time to hand over the reigns to Courtois. Courtiois, in my opinion, was MOTM against Barcalona and I think he would have done a better job than Cech with the last two goals conceded last night. Mourinho is no big fan of Lukaku but at least he would have made a better 'target man' than Shurrle. There's no point putting high balls into the forward if he doesn't have the physical presence to make the most of them.
