Frank Lampard

[Phil Driver 503]

Ah so EVERYTHING does not include the most precious commodity in football ,GOALS.

Over the decade Lampard and Iniesta were the two best ,Iniesta was the best player and Lampard was the best goalscoring midfielder with EVERYTHING inc. the goals .

The Makelele,Essien,Lampard three was up there with the Barca midfield and the results between the two proved that (the Norwegian ref aside). Any midfielder who is considered to have EVERYTHING has to score GOALS and Lampard is second to none on that SCORE against all the best teams in all the finest stadiums home and away in the world and dont be antagonised at all when the new contract is signed ,that statement is not to antagonise it is a FACT .

Shit! Well, at least he didn't get injured over the busy Christmas period.

Scoring is not the priority of a center midfielder's performance. In my book, a center midfielder needn't be expected to score but around 5-7 goals in all competitions. I would argue that although Frank has been very good, he's not been as good as the best players in Europe in center midfield, in EVERYTHING but scoring.

I've no problem with him being a sub and infrequent starter even next season, so "the new contract will be signed soon" doesn't work for antagonism.

You are picking the team and not Mourinho now?

Yes what has Lampard ever done for us .. Record number of consecutive stars ,, record number of goals .. Not bad for a center forward let

alone a center mid field ...And do I get a rep for learning to spell like an American or Canadian ?????

Just as I expected, you have nothing interesting to say. But I'm guessing you spend time on the board antagonizing and ridiculing users with whom you disagree. Ignored.

You stick to admiring the JuventusandLIVERPOOL midfields I will take the Chelsea one that won evey European Trophy there was to win,with Lampard at the heart of it and still at the heart of it ,no problem with your view.

Looking at some of the top sides in Europe from years past, how do you honestly rate Chelsea's midfield against the likes of Bayern, Barca, Juve (esp. 2001 with Davids, Tacchinardi, Conte, Zidane), Milan, and Liverpool.

Looking back at Frank's time at Chelsea, I see a brief time when Chelsea could have fielded Frank with Thiago and Makelele. Essien, Ballack, and Lampard is OK, but in both of these midfields, I doubt the ability of the group as a whole to pass accurately and quickly on the ground.

The midfield we had in 2006/07 of Lampard, Ballack, Essien, Makelele and Mikel was fantastic. Midfielders aren't only judged on being able to pass quickly or accurately. The way that midfield was able to dominate physical was truly a great thing to watch.

That midfield was one of the best the PL has ever seen. I have no idea what you're on about.

And they probably go back out before the end of the month. The most they'll do is make the bench against Derby.
