Frank Lampard

Should not have played against Basel. Really could have done with having a fit Frank facing Soton.

I for one hope to fuck he has nothing to do with this game today. He's been horrendous 95% of the season so far.

Good call, the Basle game came to soon for him after West Ham as it did others, but 4 days is plenty to recover for this one and this is important and you need your best players for the big games.

You're right about that.

[Phil Driver 503]

Always nice to be right !!

"Moments like that pass win league titles ,the experience to keep the ball alive and a wondrful left foot pass" Gary Neville" and it will be missed by some" who know nothing about the game ^^^^^^

What you mean a pass to an unmarked wide player? Mata, Ramires, Ba and Torres were our heroes tonight.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

Very good performance. Calmed things down, intelligently tracked back, Thankfully he's finally learned to do that.

Yep always best to pass to an unmarked player ,gawd you are desperate on here ,passing to a marked player never the best strategy in football . Or a slow sideways/backwards one .

[The Skipper 20,593]

Decent, reassured performance from Frank.

Like I said, shouldn't have played against Basel and should've been kept fresh for today.

[The_Flash 1,144]

Very good performance. He really stabilised things. Brilliant player

[Phil Driver 503]

Calmness and authority ,not long now until the new contract is signed. Jose knows and so do I . People who understand the game should be making the decisions on players at Chelsea.

[Phil Driver 503]

Class controlling the game like at West Ham and the goal,we need to push teams back and support our three AM's with quick early ball ,not sit back and wait .

Jose Mourinho -

“I like players without looking at their birth certificates. Performance determines how good you are, not your identity card or birth certificate. It’s about performance, nothing else.”

[Phil Driver 503]

Hazard was our top player tonight but Frank was not to far behind ,what about the back heel?

Form is temporary class is permanent ,brilliant tonight .

Fantastic performance from Lampard who now has 4 goals and 3 assists in 11 starts. He worked brilliantly interchanging with our attackers, Hazard in particular, and had a number of beautiful passes to set up chances. That pass to Torres was sublime but Fernando Torresed it. Of course, playing well won't stop the idiots with their incessant "Lampard is useless and Mourinho is only playing him because they are best friends" or whatever idiocy they spout..Lampard has had an up and down year but has overall been decent. He's not the ideal player to start in the centre but he is still a useful player for us and is unappreciated by too many people.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Absolutely brilliant tonight Frank. Keep it up.

Lamps just needs to be rested in certain games, thats it.

He's still got tons of quality

After that abysmal night vs. Basel he's bounced back with a few top notch performances. I was clapping in the last minute when he was about to go for the shot but his experience led him to corner flag instead. Moments like that can win matches. Remember last season vs. Liverpool when were giving the ball away cheaply and the referee suddenly decided to play over the added time and Suarez scored?

His passing was brilliant tonight, definetly a great performance but remained in the shadows due to Hazard being in a different solar system compared to the rest of our squad tonight.
