Frank Lampard

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

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!

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 .

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?

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 .

Pure class once again ,passing was superb and was still running hard in extra time with 10 men,started all four games under Jose now and the talk of being phased out now is forgotten untill his performances start to dip ,was that Giggs I saw come on the other night for Man Utd at 40 ? Frank is in the same bracket, a fitness freak who has had no long term injuries and retains the same enthusiasm as the day he joined.

i want to ask, what mourinho wants from lampard, to still make him like main selection than other player to fill our pivot ?

player who fit to fill pivot position is just DLP, Box to Box, and Defensive Midfielder

and lampard isnt DLP i think, not anymore good enough to play as b2b midfielder

absolutely not DM too

so why he like prime choice for mourinho ??

i mean his strength is dicipline and intelligent

but i think he just usefull ONLY when he possible to often arrive on the box

beside that he just poor and average i think, also not good enough when he try to dictate and make attacking build up from deep position

what his role exactly under mourinho system ?

anyway sorry for poor english
