The fact that the transfer ban has been lifted will help Lampard tighten his defence and find more goals if the club spend the Eden Hazard money well. It’s a cliche, but Chelsea are a team in transition. Let’s support Mount, Azpilicueta, Willian, Kepa, Marcos Alonso and Jorginho. If we all do genuinely back the team, then let’s do just that. Son of Sarri suffered, let’s see “Lampard’s child” suffer, too.įor those amongst the cultists who may say forget about Sarri, he’s gone, move on, it’s impossible to do when all these petty agendas are in play.

Obviously, in the mind of these doubters, there’s a degree of an-eye-for-an-eye in their thought process. There’s nothing the youngster can do about that, and he needs to keep doing exactly what he’s doing. It’s unfortunate that Mount is being targeted by a few nonsensical #influencers for the sake of a like or retweet. Lampard has the gumption to admit when his team have not been good enough, and that honesty is all fans can ask for. That won’t always deliver positive results but it will make for an enjoyable spectacle. There’s a refreshing naivete about Chelsea’s style of play. Like the young side he’s developing alongside Jody Morris, he doesn’t yet have a modus operandi. Frank Lampard is the polar opposite of Maurizio Sarri.
