I know he played some games earlier there but that was when we had injuries. What is the argument to play him now when we have all 4 wingers available? Defence? Willian and Pedro are best at this. 

Purely because it's City and we will need our best pressing set up to unsettle them defensively (and protect our backline).

It should be the same lineup that twatted Everton, not only would that be fair merit Villa is a similar type of game in terms of oppo set up so in that sense makes sense to be as you were.

For City they'll need to be changes, I'd go for Gilmour, Kova and Kante midfield with Mount on the LW, then against Leicester in the cup give games to the likes that haven't started yet like Tomori, Jorginho.

Impossible to say after that, if we get past Leicester we have full weekend to midweek turnover from the restart all the way till the end so rotation will be needed like never before.

It will be interesting though if that fron three continue to play well

Football’s back: Mood at Chelsea is sky high with Ziyech and Werner on the way

https://theathletic.com/1859691/2020/06/15/chelsea-restart-preview-lampard-werner-mount-abraham-giroud-kepa-jorginho-kante/

Football's back: Mood at Chelsea is sky high with Ziyech and ...

Hakim Ziyech is on his way, Timo Werner will follow and other high-profile targets are being lined up to join them. There is no club with as much of a buzz around them as Chelsea right now.

The club’s fans are already trying to figure out how the star signings will line up in next season’s team and whether a title challenge — the first since lifting the trophy three years ago — is a genuine possibility.

But wait just a minute.

There is the small matter of the 2019-20 campaign to complete first, and the way it finishes is going to have a huge effect on what happens next at Stamford Bridge.

It’s great there is genuine excitement around the place again.

Chelsea did win a major trophy in each of the past two seasons, but their narrative has been dominated by the mood swings of Antonio Conte, the tactical stubbornness of successor Maurizio Sarri, the departure of star player Eden Hazard and a FIFA transfer ban. Returning hero and new head coach Frank Lampard and the promotion of academy talent has helped freshen things up. It genuinely feels like the future is looking bright and plans are being put in place to make them title contenders again.

Yet football’s long-awaited resumption comes with a word of warning as far as Chelsea are concerned.

A reality check is potentially lurking around the corner. Why? Well, of the 10 teams in the top half of the Premier League table, Lampard’s side surely have the most to lose.

How can that be? In the crucial race to reach the Champions League, Chelsea have sat in four qualification places since mid-October. Had the pandemic led to the Premier League season being voided or curtailed, they were set to keep their place in Europe’s premier club competition regardless. Qualification would have either been based on who had played in the tournament this season or whoever came in the top four/five — depending on Manchester City’s appeal against their Champions League ban — following a points-per-game process. Chelsea were sitting pretty on both counts, but now the season is back and they have to make sure they truly qualify.

The lead over their closest challengers is a narrow one. Manchester United are three points behind in fifth, while Wolves and Sheffield United are a further two back. The threats of Arsenal, who have a game in hand, and Tottenham also can’t be ignored.

PREM-TABLE-4.png

It goes without saying that Chelsea need the prestige of Champions League football for the bank balance, as well as their hopes of beating the competition to transfer targets Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell.

For some clubs, this three-and-a-half-month break has been a blessing. That doesn’t completely apply to Chelsea.

Granted, some of their injured players are now back and the lift of seeing Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kante and Ruben Loftus-Cheek fit again can’t be underestimated. However, it shouldn’t be forgotten how momentum was beginning to turn their way without these men before play got postponed in March. That month’s two games saw two of Chelsea’s best performances all season — a 2-0 FA Cup win over champions-elect Liverpool and a fine 4-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League five days later.

That last display oozed confidence. Mason Mount, Ross Barkley, rising star Billy Gilmour and Olivier Giroud were all at the top of their game. Even the defence kept a second clean sheet in a row.

Football can be unpredictable, of course, but their next match, away to second-bottom Aston Villa, looked a certain away win. Their hosts were reeling from a five-game losing streak and Chelsea were in the mood to make it a neat half dozen.

Villa manager Dean Smith has now had plenty of time to massage dented egos and a loss of self-belief. Villa Park will be a much tougher test for the rescheduled game on Sunday, June 21 — even without 40,000 fans roaring the home side on. And with the nine rounds of games being played in the space of barely five weeks, no team can afford a slow start.

But that’s enough of the doom and gloom.

Lampard admits he is excited about football’s return and this is an individual who knows better than most what it takes to succeed on a season’s run-in, having done it many times at Stamford Bridge as a player between 2001-14.

The former midfielder doesn’t know the meaning of giving up. There is probably a small part of him that thinks Chelsea can overturn that 3-0 deficit against Bayern Munich when the away leg of their Champions League last-16 tie is played in August.

More realistic, of course, will be the pursuit of the FA Cup — a competition Lampard won four times as a Chelsea player. The first obstacle will be a trip to Leicester City in the quarter-finals on Sunday, June 28, which might also provide an opportunity for Lampard to broach the Chilwell subject with counterpart Brendan Rodgers.

Now please spare a thought for those of us who cover Chelsea for The Athletic.

It was hard enough trying to figure out or discover what Lampard had in mind in terms of line-up or formation when he didn’t have a full squad to choose from. But with the options he has available as we emerge from lockdown, particularly in the attacking and central midfield positions, it will cause a headache or two.

Once Jorginho is back from suspension following the Villa game, Lampard is going to have some struggle on his hands. There is Mateo Kovacic, Kante, Mount, Barkley, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek and teenager Gilmour, too.

No wonder Chelsea were the ones asking for the amount of players that could be put on the bench to be raised to nine.

The Athletic has enjoyed following Lampard’s debut season in charge and all the issues it has thrown up. Now we will get to see how Abraham responds to the imminent arrival of Werner and whether his contract situation will be resolved; if Mount can maintain his record of playing in every league game, much to the chagrin of some members of the fanbase; if Kepa Arrizabalaga can actually play like the world’s most expensive goalkeeper or whether Willian and Pedro get to leave the club on a high.

Come join us for the ride — it’s going to be fun.

 

Chelsea’s transfer revolution
What do most readers ask me about? Transfers. So that’s why a group of us explored how Chelsea go about their recruitment business, to give a different take on the subject. By the time the piece was finished, I’d learnt something new too.

What it’s really like to be a Chelsea loanee
Many people seem to have an opinion on Chelsea’s use of the loan system, so it was great to hear from some of the current group farmed out by the club about their feelings on the matter. Who can argue with them?

The end of Chelsea’s Brazilian experiment
And with Willian’s time at Stamford Bridge coming to an end, I decided to write about how the club’s relationship with Brazilian talent is coming to a close. The prospect of the first team not being influenced by the samba beat for the first time in several years next season proved quite a stark and telling revelation.

Frank Lampard can look back with pride on first year in the Chelsea job

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/16/frank-lampard-can-look-back-pride-first-year-chelsea-job/

Frank Lampard will not get the chance to sit down and toast his one-year anniversary as Chelsea head coach, as he will be preparing his team for the visit of Watford to an empty Stamford Bridge.

Just as a number of planned celebrations and landmark occasions have been lost to the lockdown, Lampard will not be able to reflect on his first 12 months, with so much still at stake for Chelsea during the run-in.

It was on July 4 last year that Lampard insisted he expected no special favours in his new role at Chelsea and that he did not believe his playing career for the club would grant him more than five minutes of extra time compared to the many managers who have come and gone under owner Roman Abramovich.

Lampard’s team will be four games into their restarted season by the time Watford visit, and Abramovich will be as excited as every other Chelsea supporter to see how they can finish.

Bruce Buck, the chairman, and director Marina Granovskaia were in the room to watch Lampard give his first press conference, when he recognised that success at Chelsea means silverware and competing in the Champions League, however gratifying promoting young players might be.

Though Eden Hazard had already agreed to join Real Madrid and Fifa had banned Chelsea from signing any players during last summer’s transfer window, Granovskaia always felt that Lampard had a squad capable of remaining competitive.

But even she might not have expected Chelsea to be in a position to clinch a Champions League place ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal, along with an FA Cup quarter-final date against Leicester City that has kept alive the opportunity to finish the season with a trophy.

There has already been a show of recognition for how Lampard has performed, as Chelsea have moved to sign two of his prime targets for next season.

Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner were players very much pushed by the 41-year-old, and Granovskaia has delivered on both, with more signings expected to follow.

Should Chelsea manage to finish the season in style, then Lampard will eclipse the efforts of Antonio Conte in his second season, when Chelsea finished fifth and won the FA Cup. He would also equal the efforts of Maurizio Sarri, who came through a stormy season to clinch third place and the Europa League.

Given both men had Hazard at their disposal and were provided with new signings in each transfer window, it would be a remarkable effort for Lampard to end his first campaign in charge with a trophy and a top-four place.

But it should not be seen as a failure if his young squad slip up, and Chelsea’s readiness to commit big money during such uncertain ­economic times on players Lampard believes can make the difference would suggest the club see a future with the manager past this season come what may.

Be under no illusion, however, that Lampard has been granted some sort of free hit in his first ­season thanks to his past or the transfer ban. Were Chelsea going into these last nine Premier League games with little left to play for, then it is wholly probable that the names of Mauricio Pochettino and Massimiliano Allegri would already be mentioned.

The fact they are not only underlines the impressive work already undertaken by Lampard, which should not be forgotten.

Lampard has undeniably added value in just about every area of Chelsea since his arrival. Young players such as Tammy Abraham, Mason Mount, Reece James, Fikayo Tomori and most lately Billy Gilmour, now represent talent worth well over £200 million.


Supporters are back on side and will pack into Stamford Bridge when crowds return to watch a more exciting brand of football, while transfer targets see something they want to be part of.

There is also a togetherness and discipline in the squad that had been eroded during the second year under Conte and Sarri’s solitary season in charge. Lampard immediately identified that standards had slipped since his playing days and introduced a fine system that made the eyes of even the wealthiest footballers water.

Arriving late for the start of training costs players £20,000, with players also having to pay £500 for every minute they turn up late for the start of a team meeting. Failing to report an injury or illness 90 minutes before training or a day off costs an individual £10,000.

It is clear to see where players had been taking advantage and setting their own timetables under previous regimes, but Lampard put down an early marker that he would not tolerate some of what had gone before.

There has been skilful man-management on Lampard’s part, most recently in the case of N’Golo Kante, who would not be available for Chelsea’s final games were it not for the careful handling of his fears regarding the safety of a return to football.

Lampard will know that expectations will have changed heading into this mini-season. The majority of the pundits who predicted Chelsea would not even finish in the top six last summer will now have them down as certainties to hang on to a top-four place.

With that expectation comes a different pressure and a knowledge that criticism will follow if Chelsea do slip out of the top four and fail to progress in the FA Cup.

But, whatever happens after the restart, perspective should not be lost and, while he might not have time to toast it, Lampard can be proud of his first year back.

Signing Timo Werner is latest evidence of Chelsea's front-foot approach to transfer market

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/18/signing-timo-werner-latest-evidence-chelseas-front-foot-approach/

Frank Lampard will not have forgotten the summer of 2014, when, as he arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami, it was confirmed that his Chelsea playing career was over.

Lampard, now Chelsea’s head coach, was on international duty with England, who were in Miami as part of their preparations for the Brazil World Cup.

The tournament turned out to be a disaster for England, but the summer was an undisputed success for Chelsea who outflanked their rivals in the transfer market to set up a Premier League title-winning season.

Just 10 days after Lampard had ended his Chelsea career, the club announced the signing of Cesc Fabregas as his replacement from Barcelona and a month later Diego Costa and Filipe Luis followed.

It was a summer that caught Chelsea’s rivals off guard. Manchester United had been tracking Fabregas while Costa was on the radar of every big club in Europe. But the London club were quicker and more decisive.

Who knows where this summer will lead, given the uncertainty created by the coronavirus crisis, but there are already shades of 2014 in Chelsea’s intent in the early part of the summer transfer window.

It was back in February that the club agreed the deal worth £37million to sign Hakim Ziyech and just days before Chelsea restart their season against Aston Villa, Timo Werner has signed a five-year contract to move to Stamford Bridge from Red Bull Leipzig.

Just as United had been the assumed destination of Fabregas were he to return to the Premier League six years ago, Liverpool had been leading the race to sign Werner ever since it became clear he would not be sold in January.

The Premier League leaders, however, became unsure about the economics involved in meeting Werner’s £47.5m release clause and paying him a wage of around £170,000-a-week, which ultimately let Chelsea in.

If Lampard had been frustrated by the fact that Chelsea simply could not convince Napoli and Paris Saint-Germain to negotiate over Dries Mertens and Edinson Cavani in January, he will be delighted by the speed at which director Marina Granovskaia has approached the forthcoming transfer window.

Chelsea had scouted Werner in the Champions League last-16 victory over Tottenham Hotspur and ultimately decided he was capable of bringing his stunning Bundesliga form to the Premier League.

During a secret pre-lockdown trip to Germany to meet the player, his agent and his family, Lampard outlined his vision to the 24-year-old, making it clear that Chelsea are not only aiming to qualify for the Champions League each year but are determined to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City and start winning titles again.

The personal touch from Lampard has no doubt been important to Chelsea during negotiations with Ziyech and Werner, just as it was when Jose Mourinho involved himself in the club’s transfer business in 2014.

Mourinho famously invited Fabregas to his house, where he drew out the Chelsea team he wanted and said it would win the title, to convince the former Arsenal midfielder that he could move to the blue side of London.

Compare that with Mourinho’s sullen approach to the following summer or that of Antonio Conte, who simply switched off his mobile telephone and became uncontactable in the summer following Chelsea’s last Premier League title success in 2017.

Granovskaia and former technical director Michael Emenalo took much of the criticism for some of the disastrous signings three years ago, but Conte’s disappearing act had set the tone for what followed.

Similarly, Maurizio Sarri could be a frustrating colleague during transfer negotiations as the 61-year-old did not communicate over WhatsApp and made little attempt to keep in close contact with Granovskaia over the club’s efforts to sign his targets.

Questions were raised over whether or not the joined-up thinking Lampard has been keen to push between himself Granovskaia and technical performance advisor Petr Cech was in practice when January passed with no signings, but it has certainly been in evidence since.

Ziyech confirmed that Lampard was instrumental in his decision to commit himself to Chelsea as early as February, explaining: “We had a few long conversations about his approach, the playing style, the club, about me personally. And later on we texted quite a lot.”

Lampard also told Ziyech he had been tracking him since watching the attacking midfielder in last season’s Champions League semi-final against Tottenham. It appears that a good performance against Chelsea’s London rivals gets remembered.

While Lampard had confirmed his departure before the arrivals of Fabregas and Costa in 2014, Chelsea have signed Ziyech and Werner ahead of the anticipated departures of a host of players, and that too will most likely prove to be a clever move. 

Werner’s transfer was already clinched by the time Pedro Rodriguez agreed a summer move to Roma. The Spaniard may not play for Chelsea again after June 30 and Willian is also yet to sign a contract beyond the end of this month. 

Waiting to do any incoming business until players on their way out had officially cleared their lockers would have left Chelsea vulnerable in the market. Knowing that they had to replace two of their most experienced attacking players would have also encouraged selling clubs, agents and, to a lesser extent, players themselves to take advantage of Chelsea’s position.

Granovskaia was never going to allow that to happen and taking a front-footed approach to the market in a time of such uncertainty is a huge boost for Lampard and should, in the long term, benefit Chelsea economically, as well as on the pitch.

Lampard can also hope that the signings will give his squad an extra spring in their step for the final nine games of the season. Tammy Abraham and Kepa Arrizabalaga were quick to "like" social media reports that Werner was on his way when the news was first revealed by Telegraph Sport earlier this month.

Of course, the signings of Werner and Ziyech are not gamble free and neither player can offer the sort of assurances that Fabregas did when he arrived as a World Cup winner.

But while Tottenham and Arsenal fight over Willian as they plan for a transfer window in which the majority of their business will have to be loans and free transfers, Chelsea’s intent is already clear and those around the club believe there will be more to follow Ziyech and Werner, with Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell among those on their radar.

Lampard on the added pressure after signing Ziyech and Werner...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/06/20/frank-lampard-admits-pressure-chelsea-players-deliver-top-four/

“Yeah it probably does and I can get that. 

“There’s pressure in this job, the Chelsea job, whatever. There will be expectations to whatever degree, we’re a well supported and well followed club, and the scrutiny is big, as we know. I don’t mind the idea. I get it. We’re trying to improve and I’m under no illusions and I want us to improve, first and foremost, so I don’t mind that pressure. I will have more pressure on myself. 

“Of course, bringing in players that we feel are improvements, we have to go and show that, so that will be up to the individuals themselves and that will be my job as well. So, if the pressure ramps up that’s fair enough.  

“We do know there is a big gap going upwards, when you look at the performance of Liverpool and Manchester City in the last couple of years. So we need to really try to work to close that gap and we have to be ready to give the players that come in some time for adaptation to the League. Hopefully, it’s not that much, we really believe in their qualities. But, yeah, we want to be working forwards to closing that gap above us.”

Lampard the manager handles pressure of the run-in like Lampard the player

https://theathletic.com/1884407/2020/06/22/lampard-the-manager-handles-pressure-of-the-run-in-like-lampard-the-player/

frank-lampard-chelsea-aston-villa-pressure-manager-scaled-e1592767218943-1024x683.jpg

Talk to anyone about how well Frank Lampard handled the pressure of a season’s climax as a player and most people will know the answer. The 11 winners’ medals back in his home provide a bit of a clue.

However, given a lack of experience, nobody is yet entirely sure how Lampard copes with it as a manager. This is significant because there will be a lot of questions asked of him over the next six weeks as Chelsea try to qualify for the Champions League via the Premier League and attempt to win the FA Cup, too.

It was fitting that Lampard provided a bit of an answer at Villa Park. He made two key substitutions in the second half — Christian Pulisic and Ross Barkley came on for the ineffective Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek — to help turn a 1-0 deficit into a crucial 2-1 victory against Aston Villa.

This was the ground where he suffered one of his lowest moments as Derby County coach. His team were humbled 4-0, with all four goals coming before half-time, 15 months ago.

Why is that relevant to what is happening now? Derby dropped out of the Championship play-off positions and the result put Lampard, who was enjoying his first year as a head coach, under scrutiny. The strain will undoubtedly be a lot worse should Chelsea’s Champions League qualification come into question.

The feeling around Pride Park back then wasn’t great following the drubbing. One source told The Athletic: “It was Derby’s third straight league defeat without scoring a goal. Some people round the club thought Lampard was starting to get found out as a rookie manager.”

How Lampard coped with the situation is significant. A run of just one loss in 12 tells part of the story. It ensured Derby finished one point above Middlesbrough in sixth position and achieved their goal.

But Chelsea fans will be reassured to know it was Lampard who made the difference. “It didn’t look like they’d win again, but he got them believing once more,” says Steve Nicholson, chief football writer for the Derby Telegraph. “After that loss against Aston Villa, he gelled everyone together. He unified the players, he told them how this was the crucial moment.

“Lampard had this magnetism about him. He has the belief, no matter what the setback, and he relays it to the players. I never detected the pressure was getting to him. I thought he got stronger as a manager as the season went on.”

It is a view shared by other people associated with the club who watched Lampard rebound from the scandal of “Spygate” in January 2019, when a Leeds employee was caught illicitly watching a Derby training session.

“Lampard was rattled by that,” a Derby insider reveals. “But on the whole, there was a general calmness about him from within the camp during the campaign. As the season reached its end, he made the players think, ‘Don’t worry, it’s all under control’. As a player, he’d been in this kind of situation before. He was relaxed because of it. That is how he carried himself and it rubbed off on everyone else.”

Crucially training sessions were kept fun. Anyone visiting the training ground (legitimately) wouldn’t have known the reality of the situation Derby were in, that they were facing a tight race to finish in the top six.

This theme continued into the play-offs themselves, even after suffering a disheartening 1-0 loss to their now bitter rival Leeds in the first leg at home. Once again, we get an insight into how Lampard will handle any adversity at Chelsea now.

Someone who was privy to the dressing room conversation following the final whistle of that encounter reveals: “After the 1-0 defeat, Frank told his players: ‘They think they’ve won it, they think it’s over. We will go up to Elland Road and they will be under pressure in front of their crowd. They have failed there under various hurdles.’ He took all the pressure off them with that one speech.”

And Lampard was rewarded. Despite conceding in the first half to go 2-0 down on aggregate, Derby came back to win 4-2 on the night (4-3 over two legs).

The dressing room insider adds: “At half-time, Frank was like, ‘We’ve got this — there are two or three more goals for us in the second half.’ He made them feel like they were good enough to win every game. I’m sure he will be the same at Chelsea.”

Not that Lampard got everything right. Indeed, sources talk about the side he picked for the play-off final against Aston Villa, which they lost 2-1, as a mistake.

With doubts over the fitness of strikers Martin Waghorn and Jack Marriott, who had scored a brace against Leeds, Derby ended up using a false nine in the 4-3-3 formation.

“As soon as they saw that line-up, it deflated the Derby fans,” one source said. Another added: “Derby punched well above their weight and I don’t think Lampard got the recognition he deserved for the job he did. Perhaps if he’d won the final, he would have got it. He got the team wrong that day.”

For 55 minutes against the same opponents in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, it looked like he’d got the team selection wrong against Dean Smith’s side once more. The visitors dominated for long periods but without creating too many chances, while poor defending had allowed Kortney Hause to put the hosts in front before the break.

The camera cut to Lampard on several occasions but, apart from looking a little disappointed, he exuded the calm people at Derby referred to, especially during the drinks breaks when there was time to give some advice to the team.

Another insight into how he is becoming a bit savvier came in the build-up to this fixture over the last few weeks. The 42-year-old was very anxious not to give any indication of what Chelsea’s team might be, especially with former captain John Terry now working as assistant manager at Aston Villa.

That is why there was a concerted attempt by the club not to provide too much detail or footage of their three warm-up matches — which included friendlies against Reading and QPR — on their website or app.

Their next opponents Manchester City will have had a good look at how Chelsea lined up against Aston Villa, but with so many options to choose from and Jorginho coming back from suspension, it won’t be easy for Pep Guardiola to figure out what Lampard has planned. The Chelsea manager is giving nothing away.

“I did tentatively have a team in my mind for Man City before this game,” Lampard told The Athletic. “I did try and look at things but it is hard not to get ahead of yourself because what happens in a game can always affect your thinking for the next one.

“I have got an idea. We will look at how players recover first and foremost. It’s a big ask for some who played 90 minutes when I didn’t expect them to. Some have been out for a while. But I will look at that.

“It will be a different type of game against a team that will play possession. Pressing is a big part of our game and we couldn’t do it against Aston Villa, it was more about getting second balls. Against Manchester City, we will want to be more aggressive in terms of winning it back.”

The Aston Villa triumph was his 100th game as a coach. He is looking more and more at home in the dug-out.

It's dumb when you think Lampard has beaten Klopp, Guardiola and Mourinho this season but has failed to get anything against Solskjaer. 

The points weve dropped against smaller teams has been a disappointment as well. Top 4 would of been 100% sealed by now if we hadn’t dropped as many points.

Overall (before even mentioning tonights result), there is still plenty to do.

Point is, Lampard has gotten results against the best/better managers but hasn't done it against someone like Solskjaer.
