Frank Lampard

[Fulham Broadway 16,846]

Keep the faith in Franky Good performance, nice goal. He got rested and dropped and immediately upped his game in my estimation. Hadn't scored for a while from open play, so that goal should do wonders to his confidence (apart from Torres, I felt Lamps was/is low on confidence too).

Dont think he is tbh. He is the consumate professional, something lacking in a lot of players and can cope with being subbed or missing a couple of games easily.

However, the way Ramires has started the season, Frank will need to be on top of his game. He is the most likely successor to Frank's type of player, he's developing into a top class box to box player.

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?

Lamps is still an important part of our squad. If he gets back on track he's one of the top 5 midfielders. But we should not be expecting him to become the Frank he was 2 years ago. Even Frank is becoming older...

350th game and 169 goals! Respect mate! One of the best midfielders in the last 10 years!

And it was his 5th hattrick if I'm not mistaken. How many midfielders have actually done that in EPL?

Well done Super Frank.

Bravo AVB! The way he handled Lampard situation is phenomenal. He motivated Lamps, had faith in him, stood out for him and yet proved to whole squad that everybody can be dropped, even Kalou

It felt good watching our tireless English striker midfielder in action yesterday

Keep it up Frankie! :cfc:

This one is crying out to be transported onto an ava/sig.

Ive said before we will never replace Lamps in terms of goal and assist's from midfield so best to make the most of what we have left of him.

If managed right he can still give us a good 4/5 years, if Giggs can do it Lamps most certaintly can.

What a joy it was to see Frank's performance yesterday. He still has it. The best midfielder of the 21st century no doubt. SUPER FRANK!

Frank is (if he has ever not been) back on track!

I've been looking for this video for ages, as I did see it some time ago and wanted to see it again because it is worth it, any time of the day.
