Frank Lampard

[Madmax 9,219]

I am not sure if we are watching the same games or what, but Lampard has been our best midfielder by far. In the Leverkusen game him along Sturridge had the most through balls, and put us in goal scoring positions. Ouf Mikel, Ramires, and Lampard; Lampard fits into AVB system the best. He makes quick passes and is always in a position to receive the ball.

Agreed there, he is making intelligent passes which are not being picked up his teammates who end up making an incorrect run or are generally not on the same wavelength.

Joker10 My suggestion to bench him for Wolves is more to keep him fresh as much as anything else.

He is 33 he can't play 3 full games in 7 days anymore.

Also Ramires starting position should be questioned. People overlook his flaws, like his positioning and passing because he is hard working midfielder. I think at times it looks like we are playing without a midfielder, because he is out position and is not available for passes. The team play would benefit a lot more if we were to drop Ramires and play McEachran or Meireles.

Totally with you on this (he is important when defending though).

But I do agree with the people who say he should be rested. I'd say nice opportunity for McEachran to get start but that's very unlikely..

Lampard doesn't need dropping, he needs resting.

Lamps was really bad today, but I think Andre is trying to use him as a deep lying playmaker so that Mata would be able to play behind strikers. For me, when Mata and Meireles (unless he's a DM) are playing Lamps shouldn't be, as much as it hurts me to say it.

But then again, he'll probably bounce back like throughout his whole career.

looked tired more than anything... can't blame him, has been playing a lot. he will wow us more in the season, make no mistake.

Where did you hear that? I've looked on google using the time feature and I can't find any sort of hint for that.

Had a few people text me saying it. Will have to wait till tomorrow to find out if it's true I guess, just thought id pass the news on.

Trying to influence our team spirit before the city match, obviously. This is just getting ridiculous.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will definitely avoid The Sun tomorrow.

The Sun just won't give up.

[Badboy 1,526]

I can't see Lampard being like that, he is too much of a pro !
