Dokko Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Frank Lampard's situation at Chelsea could "turn ugly" if they do not go on a winning run soon, says their former striker Chris Sutton. The Blues would have gone top of the Premier League with a win at Everton on 12 December. But Monday's 1-1 draw with Aston Villa means they have taken four points from five matches to slip to sixth. "At the moment, they are a crisis club because they are underperforming," Sutton told BBC Radio 5 Live. "They are flat and that's why Frank needs to get a few wins under his belt and extremely quickly because it can, as we know, turn ugly at Chelsea." Sutton been on the sherry. :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 3 points off 2nd. What a crisis. Get the feeling that given time Lampard and Chelsea will come good, not that being given time is an option these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 3 points off 2nd. What a crisis. Get the feeling that given time Lampard and Chelsea will come good, not that being given time is an option these days. Agree with this. It's a consequence of having such an open league this year (i.e. fairly poor quality). 1 or 2 good results and you go up 7 or 8 positions, and likewise for losses which leads to sensationalist tripe like that from Sutton. As for Lampard/Chelsea I think they have the potential to be really, really good. Most of that hinges on whether Havertz and Werner improve though. They've had their 3-4 month 'settling in' period, they need to start performing ASAP. I certainly don't think Lampard is doing a terrible job by any means currently.

triggs Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Isn't a large part of Werner playing poor due to Lampard shifting him out to the left though? He started pretty well when used as a striker IIRC. Don't see anything to suggest Lampard is a good manager personally Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Isn't a large part of Werner playing poor due to Lampard shifting him out to the left though? He started pretty well when used as a striker IIRC. Don't see anything to suggest Lampard is a good manager personally He can't really play as a sole striker, Germany tried that and they failed and so did his previous club and they had to always pair him up with someone, tbf both Giroud and Abraham are scoring in most games they start as well, the problem is even on the wing Werner gets great chances, he just seems to need 3-4 chances before scoring one. Lampard is really showing his inexperience, that Arsenal game was a total shit show and despite having world class players and decent back-ups in every position he just can't seem to make it work.

According to Whoscored he played up front against Southampton and got 2 goals and an assist, then played there against Man Utd in that 0-0 in the next game and has been on the left ever since Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitely Content Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 One of the best strikers I've seen in the PL. Doesn't seem to get much of a mention alongside the likes of Van Nistelrooy, Drogba and the other lot just in that tier below the likes of Shearer and Henry, but Costa for me had it all. Was outstanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
