Frank Lampard

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

You are right Jose is no fool and he has been watching and that is why Lampard plays and Mikel sits at home,what have you been watching?

Mikel has nothing to do with this discussion, he's just a convenient card you pluck out of nowhere to deviate from certain points you don't want to refute.

Other than that I've been watching an unbalanced Chelsea side that could be exponentially better were it to be rectified properly.

Bearing in mind all I've said about Lampard playing in one of the pivots, I'd have no problems giving him game time in another role (a more advanced one obviously as that's where his skill-set can be compatible with our pattern of play) where he would only have to close people down and press like any other of our attacking players without actually having to be pivotal to our defensive unit.

The beauty of it Phil, is that regardless of what we say here, our opinions bear no weight for or against as to what is actually going to happen in the future.

Mine do because they happen to align with Mourinhos ,jose does not look or listen to anything else but performances and Lampard will be signing a new deal,remember where you read it first and the only difference between Zanetti and Lampard is Mourinho rates Lampard higher.

Then I think you're in for a shock as early as January.

I'd love to see what the other lads in here think of the prospect of Lampard getting a new contract if he is to keep a first 11 spot week in week out. The two fellas above seem to vehemently agree with me.

[Phil Driver 503]

Well he has already seen off Mikel and a lot on here seemed to agree he was good,wrong again.

We do need another midfielder,he will not be A replacement for Lampard though,do you not listen to what Jose says?

So you're saying Ramires is gonna be sitting on the bench?

[Phil Driver 503]

No I said Mikel has no future at the club and Lampard does.

Mikel isn't starting games Phil, he's not in the conversation at the moment. The names being speculated suggest they'd go straight into our first 11. We'll wait and see... as for now, let's hope for 3 points tomorrow and a Lampard hat-trick eh.

Given the nod again, let's see how he performs.

How who preforms? Frank?

This is the Lampard thread...

[The_Flash 1,144]

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?

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

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...

[Phil Driver 503]

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?
