What a super game Frank Lampard had for Chelsea today! He is a shining beacon for everyone to look up to and has been one of the premierships leading midfielders with no real equals. It is ten years this month since Frank started his first season with Chelsea and he has improved year on year and has been a driving force in Chelsea's three premiership title wins. His playing stats are impressive; Season Played Goals YC RC 2011 - 12 6 (2) 2 3 0 2010 - 11 31 (1) 13 2 0 2009 - 10 49 (2) 27 0 0 2008 - 09 56 (1) 20 5 2 2007 - 08 38 (2) 20 5 1 2006 - 07 58 (4) 21 7 0 2005 - 06 48 (2) 20 6 0 2004 - 05 53 (5) 19 8 0 2003 - 04 56 (2) 15 4 0 2002 - 03 46 (2) 8 3 0 2001 - 02 49 (4) 7 4 1 TOTAL 490 (27) 172 47 4 His nearest rivals Giggs, Scholes & Gerrard's playing stats are just a shadow in comparison. I fully expect Frank to be knighted at some time in his lifetime for his outstanding services to football. So I ask you all now to stand and toast the best midfielder in premiership history
I think AVB has done a great thing, by dropping lampard and starting off not playing anelka alot i think it gave em both a massive kick up the backside to show their true class because they knew if they want to be in the team they had to prove how great they are and they've really done that, lampards showed his quality and avb has brought back the best of lampard and anelka !! Great managing and great performances from anelks and lamps, proud of em both !!
