Frank Lampard

[ChelseasMessiah 304]

wasn't really bad actually, was ok like the rest.

And Ramires had to rest a little so..

I agree, I just think we would look a lot less pedestrian without him in midfield.

But my point was not just about today, but since the start of the season.

not too many options though..

Mikel isn't exactly the ideal CDM .

Were are indisputably a better, stronger, faster and more balanced team without Lampard in the pivot. Yaya Toure and Fernandinho are the benchmark, Essien and Ramires worked well today, but we still need better than what we have.

This is old news, but did Mourinho really say that Cole, Terry and Lampard were getting contract renewals next season?

Mourinho is playing the psychologist for a bit of extra motivation for some of them. There is no way in hell he thinks Lampard deserves another year given his expectations to always play. There's no place for him in the midfield duo if we wanna get any where when it comes to competing with the top dogs.

Is that a question? Lamps and JT will probably be here the season after next as well . This is widely reported, Jose is not going to see the heart of Chelsea thrown out of the club before their time is up it really is a no brainer . That is why Jose is a the best manager in the world and forums are for gossip .

Frank's role this season should be as an impact sub, second striker, attacking midfielder.

We will win nothing with him in the centre of the park. He doesn't possess any of the skills required to play that role. Every team we play has miles and miles of space in front of our back 4 whenever he is in there.

Is there any other option? sadly no

I know it's become the trend in the past two seasons to blame the pivot, but I actually think Frank was excellent yesterday and so was Obi. The team was playing very well, despite missing some chances, for most of the game until the front four (bar Willian) stopped pressing and stopped doing their job. It was 11vs8 for the last 10 minutes + extra time.

The pivot was instrumental in our attacks earlier on the game and never really switched off.

Lamps- Mikel was not so bad after all unlike the popular belief.

Defensively Lampard was inexistent.

Defensively Lampard was inexistent.

I thought he did well in the first half and the start of the second but got tired as the game went on. Was non-existent during extra time, but tbf so was the rest of the team except for Schwarzer and Willian.

What a legend he is. You just can't hate this kind of guys. Like Lampard, Gerrard, Kaka, Pirlo...
