Lampard Shutting the media up at Mestalla?

[robdog 2,084]

Obsolete? How is that fact obsolete? It is a pretty pertinent fact, if you ask me!

Oops I did get carried away there. I wanted to say absolute

I've noticed in the past few matches or so that Frank has been moving much better. More fluidity and maybe almost a little more pace. During the past year or so he moved like his boots were made of lead.

My response was to Gil's use of Lampard's past accomplishments to justify his starting place now.

Same here

I'm sorry, I thought you were implying that he shouldn't start anymore for Chelsea.

Find it funny typical for the media to focus on his exclusion against Swansea while completely ignoring the supreme effort it takes to be part of a 10 man side for 73 minutes against PL opposition just 3 days earlier. Maybe, just maybe, AVB got it right against Swansea and it was precisely the rest at the weekend that enabled Frank to play the way he did at Valencia? You won't hear/read a word about it.

On his first half performance, can't believe it's being described as "poor". LCM doesn't entail attacking all the time, he kept their creative midfielders quiet and it was clearly a part of the plan. But scapegoating him has become a favourite passtime so can't pretend it's entirely surprising.

I feel the media have some kind of agenda with Frank anyway, just jumping on the back of the anti-Chelsea/Frank/JT England mong fans.

Of course he's coming to the twilight of his career - he's 33!!

I don't remember this type of character assasination when Giggs/Scholes were being 'rested' for games. When Fergie does it he's a man management specialist that gets the best out of his players and preserves them.

When AVB does it - Frank's over the hill/finished etc......

He was rested at home to Swansea before a testing CL away game to Valencia ffs! Does the media really think that we need Frank to beat Swansea at home?

One thing I will add is Frank is a consummate professional, instead of throwing his toys out of the pram ala Tevez, he done extra training, praised the club & fans, respected AVB's decision - just the sought of reaction you would expect from a great player, his self drive & determination to get back in the side is an example to all young players but especially Tevez.

The media circus surrounding our club is a complete joke but like Torres, I hope Frank gets the opportunitys to prove them wrong.

Well that hatrick will keep the rags away for a while! The detractors will be crawling back into their flea pits, well done Frankie. Now that Frank & Torres has shut them up I wonder whose next on their hit list? JT or Cole are most likely favourites..................

Tabloid junk must feel so embarassed now... Frank isn't the type of guy who will sulk and cry over petty shit media accused him of. He is the kind of guy who talks on the pitch, and his response in footballing terms has been equal to his rant in LBC radio (if you lot remember that). We owe some gratitude to them actually I feel Maybe without their shitstorm Lampsy wouldn't have tried so hard to shut them up... who knows.

We should rename this thread to Lampard shutting the media at Reebok

journo scum

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Is that the first hat trick of the season

[manpe 10,861]

Rooney's had a couple

[zolayes 14,489]

Is that the first hat trick of the season

I think the first from a MIDFIELDER...and one who is washed up at that..waiting for one from Stevie Gee

Keep shutting the haters up Frankie! What they don't realise is it's negative comments that make Frankie better, drives him on as a player cause that's the kinda guy he is.

SUPER FRANK!

I read an article where he said that West Ham fans made him the player he is.

one thing i love about lamps is his commitment to improving himself as a player.
