To think at the start of the season, fans, pundits, rivals ruled us out completely from the top 4, just shows how well Lampard has done this season, as he introduced 8 academy players into the line up. Transfer ban and also no Eden Hazard. Only one year of management experience.
Frank Lampard has also outclassed his “teacher”, Jose Mourinho twice this season as well at beating the likes of Man City, Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, which is amazing for a manager who only been into the manager game for a year. This was against the likes of Klopp and Pep.
Moreover you have to praise Lampard’s coaching with young players, for example Mount, Gilmour and especially Pulisic. With Pulisic it was a masterclass coaching as he made a player like Pulisic adapt to the physicality of the PL instead of throwing him in at the start.
Lampard has also brought the best out of experienced players such as Barkley, Kovacic, Willian and even Jorginho. Last year these players wasn’t as good as now, due to Frank Lampard. This shows the difference between Sarri and Lampard coaching management.
Frank Lampard is also not a one route manager, he improvises and takes risk for example converting from 4231 to 433 to 343 many times this season. This is one of the reasons why we’re in the position where we are at the moment as oppositions manager doesn’t know what to expect.
Furthermore Frank Lampard’s pull power has been amazing as he has attracted players like Werner, Ziyech, Havertz and many more as these high quality players believe in his vision. Lampard is taking Chelsea FC to another level now and in the future.
Frank Lampard has been comfortably sitting top 4 since October, the consistency may have been up and down a few times this season but the consistency to stay at the top has remained and that’s a very hard job to do, which Lampard has thrived.
Frank Lampard has also brought a feeling to this club that me as a fan hasn’t experienced with any manager, as he is a Chelsea legend with a high status that all fans, including rival fans see him achieve and do well. It’s amazing what atmosphere he brings to Stamford Bridge.
