PauloGeordio Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Lampard points to Newcastle when asked about potential Chelsea resurgence Lampard has spoke to the media ahead of Chelsea’s game against Manchester United on Thursday, and was asked whether or not he thinks Chelsea and Liverpool will ‘wake up’ next season. “I don’t know that because the Premier League moves on very fast,” he said. “You see the emergence of Newcastle, Brighton, Aston Villa. If you switch it off, it’s not easy to switch it back on. “I think that will be the test.” Clueless Frank been looking for Eddie’s “turbo booster” switch!

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) Surely Chelsea have good enough players to be a great team again. In the main anyway. They just need a manager that fits the “win now” approach they seem to favour. Edited May 24, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give trippier it off as well saying he's likely to be in for the England bollocks Not sure who plays right back if Trippier doesn't play, Manq wasn't even on the bench on Monday and I don't think I saw him for the lap of honour Guess Murphy could play there or Ashby but unlikely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why I don’t think you can operate in the way Abramovich used to and win stuff anymore. You need some guiding principles as it relates to who you’re signing. If we assume Poch is going for a 3-4-3 you need to find the right partner for Enzo Fernandez and also figure out the CF position. Either way, there are several weak areas in that squad and he has to devise a tactic to make the most of those they’ve invested in on long deal and make up for those aforementioned squad weaknesses.

Paullow Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I reckon the approach will be fairly dictated by how Man Utd get on tonight. If they win then there will probably be an acceptance of 4th, but if they drop points then will be seen as a more important match. I'm not too fussed, after fearing we'd lose 4th for a while, I'm just so pleased we are over the line and like the idea of giving others minutes, especially the likes of Miley, but I guess if 3rd is in our hands then more incentive to end on a high.

Paullow Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 A point for MU would probably be the best outcome for those who really want third. They would have secured CL football, but third won't be in their hands and they'd probably have the cup final on their mind, whereas if they lost tonight they'd be going for it on Sunday , and thus, probably more likely to get the 3 points.

Aye, he tends to pick up a few injuries, but if he can stay fit he should be around the Chelsea and the England team in the coming years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
