Frank Lampard

[The only place to be 11,313]

IF Mourinho comes, we will still be playing 4-2-3-1 though? Or whichever manager? My stance on this has always been clear, so i am not gonna re-hash any of that as it has been debated to death, but if the new manager comes on and reverts back to a 4-3-3 system then his usefulness even as an impact sub would increase, as i am sure most would agree our "current" CM's are more suited to a 3 man midfield system, particularly lampard and ramires.

Why would we change to 433? Mourinho has been playing 4231 at Madrid hasn't he?

Shouldn't we be asking what formation better suits players like Mata rather than players like Lamps or Mikel?

Just because its seems obvious to us doesn't mean it is obvious to everyone else. As can be seen by a number of decisions our current manager has made. I am not saying we will, i am not saying we should. I was simply saying that in my view lampard and ramires are more effective in a 4-3-3 formation. And there is no guarentee that whoever the next manager is, be it Mourinho or anyone else that we will keep the same formation.

Lampard absence from photo-shoot played down

His agent said...

“I wouldn’t have allowed Frank to take part in any case,” Kutner told the Daily Mail. “Covering him in paint would have been demeaning.”

So was it demeaning for Mata to take part? What about JT, Demba, Oscar, Luiz, Cech and Torres?

What a stupid and insulting thing to say. This from a man who is shopping his client to MLS teams where he'll be wheeled out on American chat shows so he can be asked 'so what's David Beckham really like?'.

Oh, and here's a Pepsi Max advert from 2006.

Ooh, being covered in paint to promote your club is demeaning.....but doing it to flog what people buy when they're out of Coca Cola is fine.

1 goal in the last 2 months is kinda worrying. The pressure of the record seems to have gotten to him based on his play.

Lamps is at 599 Chelsea games right now! 1 more to reach 600 for Super Frank.

The idea of Lampard not becoming our all-time goalscorer scares the shit out of me.

Dont worry, he'll score, be sure, and he may even stay !

[Milan 17,835]

Quite typical for him honestly. He always has some runs without goals but after that, he just needs one to get started again.

I canno't believe that this happen between David and Frank

He's not even playing well atm, someone needs to win a penalty next game he starts.

[manpe 10,855]

Just seen the Torres goal against Kazan and the pass from Lampard was special.

600th Appearance today!!!!!!!!

What a feat!

And 200 goals. This math is sooo simple 1 goal / 3 games.

Since lots of people go on and make a comment on Frank after every game judging him on that performance, I'm going to say he's still got it. Had a very good game today, controlled that midfield like a true boss. Hopefully he can get those few goals he needs, proper Chelsea man.

[Sheva. 5,373]

This is getting frustrating, he suddenly can't score again after scoring almost every game before lol.

No penalties in the last few games = no goals for Frank in the last few games. Not that pens are the only way he scores, but they sure help. He'll score this weekend against Liverpool
