Frank Lampard

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Thats the thing of late he has done little to deserve a starting place.And it seems the only reason he has one is because the hissy fit he threw when he was benched...which was the right decsion!!!

If he put the performance in fair enough but he hasnt,just strolled around the same as most of the team really

Who cares for how long you supported the club when you call a cunt one of the best players this club ever had. I bet you go different opinion about him last week when he has score against Bolton, right ?

Mate, this is football, not government. Past glories do not, allow anybody to strut around like they own the place. Look at Manchester United and their legends: van Nistelrooy, Beckham, Keane, Staam, all thrown out because they got big heads. Each of those players contributed more to United than Fat Frank ever has for us. We should have done the same thing with Fat Frank.

That picture of Snape

Lampard can fuck off. Totally ruined my image of him.

Disgusted by his actions.

[Kez 2,727]

Still wont forget what he's done for us on the pitch for the past 11 years.

A legend, top scorer for us even in this shitty season as a AM and you still have the balls to slag him off based off of the sun ? Fuck off.

Some people are in a great deal of denial. Who are desperate to cling on to this image that so called "legends" are honest saints who would never do a thing wrong, act like a twat and always put the club and manager before them. Pfft!

I assume you mean based on a Sun article?, No... based on 'direct quotes', the tabloid is irrelevant.

Frank Lampard is looking out for Frank Lampard. AVB's departure was in 'his' best interests, and Frank was undermining the manager with those comments.

Not at all, I agree it's time for him to leave, he's not good enough anymore. But just remember what he has done for the club, helped us to 3 league titles & 3 FA cups.

I remember I called a cunt to Terry for his of field actions, but I always mention how in the field he is one the most fierce competitors I ever seen, and because of that I admired the men as a player.

Lampard is just completely the opposite. Nice background compare to Terry, but in the field he did not just betrayed the manager but the club and fans!

He deserves all the shit he is getting from fans. But that still won't denied he is a top player, important player in Chelsea history with Roman and thus make him a legend.

But will he be look as highly as Zola? No way in hell!

The real Mr. Chelsea is Terry, that despite who manages always gives his heart out for the team.

Right, first of all this isn't a "F**k Frank Lampard" thread. This is just me wanting to know peoples opinions on Lampard. Like every reasonable Chelsea fan, I liked Frank Lampard. I chose to say liked and not like for a reason. This season has maybe swayed me and made me realise he has become a problem that needs to be dealt with.

I appreciate that Lampard is our legend. Will always be remembered as that. And rightfully so people have said, he is Chelsea's equivalent to Ryan Giggs, Gerrard etc. But is he really ?

Lampard has scored 10+ goals for consecutive seasons now and some of these goals have saved us and got us the three points, so yes he is a valuable asset. However, lets look at Giggs, yes he is a scum bag but ever since he realised he was past 33 he changed his game, stopped going for goals in a sense and became a valuable creator for United. Something Chelsea has lacked this season. If Lampard maybe passed to Torres, Drogba Sturridge, created those opportunities that Giggs and Gerrard do for their team would we be in this position ? I am not blaming Lampard for our downfall obviously but I am however questioning if he is maybe part of the problem Chelsea has created in a sense.

Obviously it isnt all up to Lampard but in my opinion. I would much prefer in the summer, we say our farewells to Lampard as a first teamer. Jamie Carragher, was effectivley replaced by Skrtel and Kelly and not once did he complain to the media about it. He accepted it and you now see him on the bench coming on as a sub etc.

This whole "old guard" crap needs to end. We all wish to see Torres firing on all cylinders again, we all dream of one day seeing Terry lifting up the Champions League. But can we really do this when the heart of our attack we have a player like Lampard. If anyone remembers last season, Chelsea v Blackpool away, in like 45 minutes, Lampard made maybe 2 passes to Torres. Giggs however makes on average 17 passes per half to who ever is leading Uniteds attack.

Once again, I mean no disrespect to Lampard but at this current moment in time, I ask the question, "Does Chelsea still need Lampard?"

No. We can get by very well without him, provided we get a suitable replacement.
