Frank Lampard

How who preforms? Frank?

This is the Lampard thread...

Yes but it said see how he performs? He IS Frank Lampard, he's going to be great why question him?

So I wondered if you meant someone else?

He was very poor again tonight, he left our midfield wide open like an empty and inviting avenue whilst Ramires as always did everything he could to cover the continental gaps Lampard didn't cover, on top of his own work load of course.

We, Torres aside, were generally poor also, we got bossed by a young Schalke side, especially in the first half, before they had to change their game plan to "desperation mode".

He isn't consistently great, sorry

Totally disagree, each to their own

I have only one thing to say messiah is a clueless muppett .

I will expand on this nonsense ,how did he leave our midfield wide open? ,he and Rammy played a very disciplined role in a team that was set up to counter he still managed to play some clever forward passes and was a tireless runner in a team performance he isnt going to score from the role he is playing.

Aah lovely. Disagree with others said and just hurl back an insult. Continue to do that and you'll find yourself getting a nice reward...

Did you read what he wrote !!

Absoloute rubbish I think he had it in mind even before the game started in fact he may not have watched it . Is he one of your mates then? Is clueless muppett really that insulting?

No but I do not care whether what he wrote was right or wrong. Everyone have their own opinion, even you do. You immediately hurling abuse at him was utterly pathetic and needlessly. What you did after though in disputing his point was the right one..

We have seen how 'wars' have ensued here because of insults like that, big or small.

I thought Lampard was very good, sat deeper than usual (deeper than Rami in attack), controlled our attacks, got the ball forword and for the wings- exactly what we need from him. I want that to happen in every game, he should play deep, not run to score goals like he does in most of our more "easy" games.

Wasn't impressed with him to be honest, hopefully Mikel will start vs City with Rami next to him.

Mikel, is out of the picture he has got no chance of playing ,his stats suggest when he plays we lose and him against Toure is a farce ,Lampard and Rammy is our midfield of choice since they teamed up we have won every game ,bringing Mikel back will mean we will struggle to win and perform like Spurs first half away where we let the opposition midfield totally overwhelm us ,because Mikel just sits and leaves his midfield partner to do too much work alone,he cant run and lacks stamina.

I dont see Jose making the same mistakes other managers have with Mikel and the signs are good that he will not. We need to beat City this is our biggest game of the season and Toure is far too good for Mikel,every time we play them he wlaks all over Mikel. Rammy and Lampard will make Toure defend which is what he does not want,look at the Bayern game .

Good in second half, but the first was one to forget, for both pivot players tbf. Frank too easily taken out of the defensive picture and Rami too easily drawn out of position. No wonder Schalke managed to get the ball into our box in almost every single attack.
