Frank Lampard

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

Chelsea i believe is a better team without Lampard than with Lampard IMO. By the way I still havent forgiven him for the mistreatment he gave to AVB, to br honest AVB may have done it in the wrong way but he was right Lampard can no longer hold a place regular place in the starting 11. He saw the future, I believe his goal scoring covers a lot for some poor decisions he does in a game even poor England realised that a while ago. his poor in position he slows down the counter attack, he shoots too much. Look at Casillas the guy never got a game but he handled it like a professional and did not sabotage the Manager like Lampard did with AVB ie before Napoli game

Lampard is king and deserves his place in the squad, when AVB was in charge he was bringing Malouda on when 2-0 down at Everton, That's why he's at the scum now.

Who cares about AVB? Why would anyone take the side of some manager we had for a few months over our best ever player anyway? It's insane to me that any Chelsea fan would give a flying fuck about AVB anymore. AVB wasn't fired because of Lampard, he was fired because were shit under him and he couldn't communicate with his players. So many complaints that are oft-repeated but wrong as well. He shoots too much for example. Guess who are most accurate shooter was last season? Yeah, that's right, Lamapard (maybe Mata without penalties actually, but Lampard would have been second regardless). You're criticizing one of our most accurate shooters for shooting too much? Does he shoot too much? Probably, but every single goal scorer shoots too much and the results from Lampard's shooting have been overall very good. And the slowing down the counter attack argument I'm getting sick of as well. Lampard is slow of foot, he's not some player who takes the ball and uses 10 seconds to look around. Look at his decisiveness against Barca in our two legs in a counter-attacking system. His amazing balls into Ramires were instrumental in us winning. He is capable of playing a quick ball and his field judgement is still generally excellent. The idea that we need some fleet-footed young midfielder to run a counter-attack system is flat out wrong. Teams like Madrid and Bayern who play more of a counter-attacking system have Alonso and Scweinsteiger in their pivots and Alonso is slow and Bastian is hardly a speedster and they do just fine. Lampard is fine for our system and he's somehow become one of our most unappreciated players (Along with Cole, Terry, and Cech I'd say-Being over 30 means that too many fans have already written your playing obituary while salivating over youtube videos of some 17 year old in the Swiss league).

casillas is satan in pope's dress. he was the one who DID do all the player mutiny in madrid. what was worse was that he leaked all the privy information about the club to the press (his gf's a reporter or something).

lamps on the other hand was much more professional then casillas.

EVERY single thread seems filled with criticism of Jose ....he picks some and gets slated ...he leaves other out and gets slated ...He signs

players and gets slated

we had a good pre season. we have 2 PL wins and an away draw at the Champions ...I despair of some on here.

7 points in 3 games, one of which was at Old Trafford, 1 goal allowed. Way way way too much panic when at this point there should be none.

Very rare on this forum to get several very good posts in a row ,easier to win the lottery .

Even rarer to get some sort of debate out of some posters instead of "José knows best and you don't, lol!"

A debate, on a forum?! Heaven forbid! Question José? Never!

There is absolutely no need to aim this kind of language at another member and it won't be tolerated on this forum.

Cheers Choulo, but in a way I think it's better that some posters show their true colours!

[Phil Driver 503]

No I do not think we should be questioning Jose and ahould accept his correct decision to keep Lampard and see him as first choice ,world class players are rare and even at Chelsea we have only had Drogba,Terry,Cech,Lampard,Makelele and Cole who would come into that category and be up for the world class positional awards like FIFPRO.

For sure Jose is more aware than our previous managers and posters on here .

[Phil Driver 503]

Sorry will use this in future as The Mak did first . I take it this is allowed seeing as it is in the icon list?

[╫rue Blue 47]

not questioning, why ?

what making him great option to playing in the pivot ?

lampard is not box to box player anymore ffs

he is not DLP

he isn't defensive midfielder too

why

i know lampard have dicipline and intelligent , his prime attribute right now i think

plus he still can offer some long range shot even not often, and his trademark run to arrive late in the box

yes, he still valueable player but absolutely not first team choice

and maybe he is one of the problem if he often choose to play in our pivot

[Phil Driver 503]

He is ,Jose is picking him there . He has the class to play deeper ,to think his game is only about goals is to not fully appreciate the player as Jose does.

The Old Trafford selection should be answering a few questions now on what Jose sees as his best team and the fact he has started ALL three games ,all this nonsense about "Lampard should only play against teams like Hull at home" has been shown to be the rubbish it always was by Mourinho and me always good to be proven right .
