Lampard might also have a few problem with picking a starting xi, but I'm very sure he'd have been keeping close tabs with Chelsea even while away. For the next 3-4 for games, it's going to be Chelsea ML for me, even against Real Madrid!
I have seen an interesting piece of info on twitter. Supposedly Lampard said something on the line "Third time is a charm" when taking the job. Now you can interpret that as he means to do business now, since he was a player there and already a coach once. But of course twitter immediately took it in another direction and concluded he will be ex quickly and then he will do wonders next time he comes to Chelsea
First order of business in Chelsea must be getting rid of couple of players. Their roster is just too big, better to sell some while they are still worth something.
I've only had 33 minutes of Lampard ball and I'm already missing Potterball, I knew we were in trouble when he benched Chilwell and went with his terrible 442 formation with Gallagher in the middle; no serious coach will play Gallagher and Sterling right now. We've never been this bad all season. Potter is mile ahead of Lampard in every way.
Why is Havertz starting every game, he's been awful all season and can't shot to save his life.
Chelsea is making Wolves looks like prime Bacelona. TV off. #LampardOut. End this season already and end my mysteries.
I would say we would never find out right ? because it didn't happen, but if Lampard bought or loaned in those guys, then he must have had his reasons, maybe it wasn't working out at first but then it was just a matter of time, because the style Tuchel deployed was very similar to that of Frank Lampard, I agree that Tuchel inspiration and experience could also have had its effect on the players and hence the result. However, the players didn't just become superb overnight right, so it shows that Lampard probably knew what he was doing but just needed more time to get there.
Some players became extra superb under Tuchel, and Rudiger is a prime example; he was the club's worst defender under Lampard, was abused by the fans every game, and was on the verge of being kicked out in the summer until Tuchel came along and turned his career around; the rest is history.
Not to mention Lampard's first season, when the players were still playing Sarriball and the spirit was still there for a while.
