Olympics - Frank Lampard could play for Team GB

DailyMail

Oh gawd. Please. No. No. No.

Why not? He's potentially missing one friendly match (Community Shield) to play in a few more.

None of the above 23 players take the Olympics seriously and as far as I know most don't care about the Community Shield either.

Would prefer to have Lampard preparing and working in tandem with the rest of the squad for next season rather than playing in the Olympics and then coming back for the campaign. We have at least 50 games to contend with next season. Need everyone to be fit and fresh for it.

how much longer do you see frank in a regular starting role? i say one more season tops

Can not believe there is people on here that don't realise that Lampard is a CAM. Naturally. He's always done it for Chelsea, ok this season he has played further back in CM, fair enough. That's a good thing though because he's proven he's good in CM and can still do the job! He done more than that actually, he even tracked back into defence to help out.

Lampard may have been CAM in the christmas tree/diamond formation that ancelotti had employed but ever since the sunderland(?) game i think in january 2010 he has played in a deeper role at CM. he continued making forward runs until this season when he converted into a deeper midfield role

the point is with juan mata - CAM since december 2011, lampard, benayoun, kdb, hazard - cam for belgium and for lille often enough - all capable of playing CAM we dont need another CAM let alone a foreign converted one.

you have an opinion - voice it, mate. don't get worked up about every post

Wast of time. Since Lampard came, he's always been a CAM. Ok, not now which is fair enough but I still see it as his best position.

We have played 4-3-3 flat for almost a decade, there are no CAM's in that formation.

There have been exception when Lampard played behind the striker, example like when we brought Sheva we tried to play him along Drogba with Lampard behind them. Under Scolari beginning of the season, And also Carlo experimenting the diamond formation with Lampard in the hole.

I can see why you think he is a CAM because of his goals and assists, but he doesn't play behind the striker.

Not always, usually changes between 433, 442 and 41212. Even if it is a 433 he's always in midfield pushing forward, might not be a CAM role in there, but he still plays as a CAM.

Once in a lifetime opportunity to play at the olympics, fair play to Lamps if he does.

You're confusing CAM and a ATTACKING central midfielder. No ones's disputing Lampard wasn't an ATTACKING central midfielder, but he rarely played in the CAM position, otherwise known as the position behind the striker, the position Mata plays.

If you've followed Lampard's CFC career you'll see his trademark is his runs from deep. You can't play the CAM position and start your runs from deep, it's why Lamps was ineffective when he was tried in that position.

Hope that clears it up for you.

Used to think very highly of Lamps, has changed significantly and now everytime i think of him, his comment on television, that he likes RDM because he plays him more than "the other guy" really pisses me off. Even if he said plays him more than "the previous manager" or any other words, its would have been ok.

Even if Frank had a bad relationship with AVB, which he did, to say that on television ..... thats very disrespectful in general and takes away from the classy behavior he shows in years gone by.

lol it was a joke dude, relax

every single pundit in the world was saying the same thing that ever since RDM took over he's playing Frank more, he just said the same thing but joked about it, dont see the big deal

Yeah that was just a bit of banter, nothing meant by it from Lamps.
