super_frank8 186 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Aside from literally a couple of misplaced passes, Lamp's distribution today was absolutely world class - as was that gorgeous finish.Yet another overwhelming display of evidence that proves anyone's ignorant claims of lacking the passing range to play in a deeper midfield role entirely invalid. It's not like this is the first game he's been able to control possession like that this season either.I'm sorry but this isn't your average aging 34-year-old has-been running out of steam & legs as some of those posting on here have suggested.This is the unstoppable immortal legend that is Frank fucking Lampard.You've really got to be in perplexingly misguided denial if you don't believe he is indisputable first team quality - & still one of the finest midfielders around today.How can you possibly not only stomach, but actually go so far as to support the idea of getting rid of our one & only goal-scoring match-winning talisman, when our rivals & every other top team in Europe are all salivating at the tantalising thought of being able to capture a player of such class & calibre in the summer - for absolutely nothing?If you really have this club's very best interests at heart - it simply cannot be anything other than painfully obvious that letting Frank go is not conducive to those ambitions whatsoever.

HRiver 1,512 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 What a legend, he keeps giving it his all and he's scoring goals too, not offering him a new contract doesn't even make sense. super_frank8 and xPetrCechx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post! CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 9, 2013 Popular Post! Share Posted February 9, 2013 His long-range one touch passes were brilliant. That is how you play one touch passes, not the Spanish shitty-taka version of it! Milan, Bosnian Blue, super_frank8 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 9 goals in last 14 matches, yep I reckon hes too old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Did a real captain's job today by being clinical enough to restore our 2 goal cushion. 9 goals in 14 games is no joke either. Please don't let him go CFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZanSnake 1,211 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 It doesn't seem like he is going to stop scoring till he gets a new contract! He will definitly get the top goalscorer if he carries on this form.Such a classy finish today, also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Great finish today and a good performance. Maybe this is his level now, coming in against the Stokes and Wigans of the world who will give him time in midfield and fail to pick up his late runs in and around the box. But do I think we can win the league with him as one of our midfield two? Probably not. And he should be paid accordingly, but it's great to see him banging them in still.

Curious!!He's played reasonably well in recent weeks, there's an increasing possibility that we'll get Mourinho and McEachran is almost certainly another year away from being ready for us. I don't think he's good enough to be a first-teamer every week but he'd be great coming off the bench if we're chasing a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not incorrect, most want Lampard to stay because he's obviously an inspirational character, and is definitely good enough still to be involved with first team action here as he's been proving the last couple of weeks. I don't think anyone wants us to hand Frank a £150k a week contract which obviously states he's a key player - Frank knows himself that he won't start 50+ games a season anymore. Frank's still good enough for around 30 games a season IMO, and would be a brilliant replacement if lets say one of our new starting midfielders (if we got one) were to be injured. He can still be a very important squad player for us for a season or two, easily. Rmpr, Amblève. and TorontoChelsea 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can still be a very important squad player for us for a season or two, easily.I think we can use him for one more season as a bench option in the big games and a guy who can take the strain off others for 60 minutes in matches like today. Plus we're one year out from the World Cup and he'll need to be playing competitive football next season which means there's more pressure to stay in the Premier League. I really don't want him going elsewhere.This is all based on us getting a big manager in (ideally Mourinho) who can handle big personalities.

He's clearly good enough to perform in those. Giggs and Scholes don't play every game at United but they do start big games because of their experience and obvious class etc. Lampard can clearly do the same for us.

different level 1,056 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 He manages to show individual brilliance in every of his matches lately, including the one for England against Brazil! Scoring decisive goals and being inspirational character and leader! 4 more goals until the record is equaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
