Frank Lampard

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Wilshere would make perfect Lamps sucessor. Brilliant on the ball, leader, mature and always stands for his team. Great off pitch too. But I doubt Arsenal will ever sell him...

He is my favourite player to see at Chelsea, there are many good strikers or defenders available, but not many good english midfielders. Wilshere is actualy the only one on that level.

Lampard >>>>>>>> Gerrard

always has been, is now and will be forever. no matter where, when or how. That loserpool biased press scum alone raised the debate who is better, actually it is no contest at all.

It's a matter of opinion..

But I doubt Arsenal will ever sell him...

Well, it looks like Frankie is not going to Hollywood but gets a chance to score more goals at Chelsea for another year.

Is Roman is getting soft ?

EXCLUSIVE: Lampard set to be offered fresh Chelsea deal in shock U-turn by Abramovich

About fucking time.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

A bit late to the party mate!

Did you actually watch the game mate? The reason England had to play deeper in the second half is because Brazil pressed the fuck out of them, Oscar & Neymar were up Cahill & Johnson's arses right up until the final whistle. That's how Brazil's goal was scored, because Cahill tried to bring it out under pressure when there was no space & that forced him to take a bad touch & make the mistake.

In fact the converse is true, Lampard dropped deeper to accomodate England's more-than-obvious inadequacies at the back & Gerrard did the same, to at least give them some kind of outlet because Smalling & Cahill's distribution was really quite poor at times. Brazil upped the ante in the second half & that is why England had to drop deep - I fail to see how that is down to Lampard whatsoever.

I'm not saying that he necessarily put in an amazing performance today, I think the only player on the field from both sides to even come close to doing so was Wilshere; & it was really only for about 60 minutes in reality. Neymar & Oscar did well, but they weren't overwhelmingly impressive by any means. But what do you expect, it's a friendly & it only became the kind of intense international atmosphere you would expect after 45 minutes. He only came on at half time & did add some solidarity in possession at least, & the fact is that he finished the opportunity he was presented - & it was an undeniably superb goal to beat one of the best keepers in the world in empthatic fashion.

How can you call yourself an England fan & not celebrate a win against Brazil at Wembley & give a player credit when he was what made the difference at the end of the day? I've always found some of the Lampard hate from certain England fans utterly perplexing to be honest.

& you must be smoking some seriously good shit to think that Cleverely deserves a place in the starting line up ahead of Lamps or even Milner. Pretty much invalidates everything you say once you make such an absurd claim...

In the first half we had the players who could press, Cleverly and Wilshere, while having Gerrard drop deep, when Lampard came on we had to play deep because he doesn't have the stamina to press for 45 mins non stop.

Secondly Neymar wasn't pressing, he was mostly on the wing letting Johnson fly up and down., he hardly touched the ball. Oscar was pressing but that's what he did in the first half, he was class in that game. The goal Brazil scored was because Cahill ran into trouble, when he first received the ball he was in a comfortable position but then he got too overconfident and suffered the consequences.

Neymar was poor, so to say he did well is beyond belief. I know you say it's just a friendly, but mate i've watched when Lampard plays for us (England) this year, we are miles better when we have Cleverly and Wilshere playing. simple.

As i said, Lampard scored a great goal but overall he was average and with him and Gerrard in the team it makes us go too defensive. Lampard hate you say? i love him as a player, i'm just being realistic, for ENGLAND (not Chelsea) he shouldn't start.

Haha Milner? seriously... Cleverly is a smart player, he's good with the ball and has a good engine, Wilshere's obviously better but Cleverly is a talent.

I honestly think most England fans would agree, i'm not hating, it's just time for England to move on, we have younger players to come in and offer something different.

[bababoom 4,478]

Also great news, about time he was offered a new contract... lets hope it's true.

[Santiago. 1,500]

Figures

[Jase 43,479]

Gonna offer him a new contract?!

Make it happen, Roman!!

Good news if true, not just because it means he'll stick around for another year but it coincides nicely with reports of someone special texting him lately.

It's a nice feeling to know he might be staying, but you've got to think he's going to be largely a squad player. He's just not what we need right now in that midfield, but he can still come off the bench and make an impact. I also think this means Josh gets another year out on loan which he really does seem to need.

Errr, weren't you like against the idea of keeping Lampard at the club previously??

[bushman 2,043]

Perhaps Frankie just might come off the bench in case the penalty was awarded & pops one in ?
