Will Frank Lampard Have Failed Should Chelsea FC Miss Out On The English Premier League's Top 4?

Chelsea FC brutally lost out to Manchester United two goals to nil at Stamford Bridge two nights ago, and even when we might say there were too many refreeing and VAR errors in that game, it's been a long time coming and currently Chelsea have 41 points while Tottenham Hotspur are currently on 40 points and would only need a game to surpass Chelsea should they also loose or draw the next match. In all honesty I do not really think Chelsea have a bad team and then as much as people might say they have been in top four for a long time I want to currently state an observation that teams like Manchester United as well as Arsenal doing so poorly is the reason why Chelsea still occupy top four, and now that it seems as if Tottenham Hotspur are on a revival, suddenly Chelsea's top four position is being threatened.

Now will Frank Lampard have failed should Chelsea fail to qualify for the top four position? I definitely think yes! the reason is because there has been a lot of things that is currently wrong at Stamford Bridge, Lampard has been culpable to some extent to a lot of things which could have been handled better. We reckon with the fact that the London outfit were hit with a transfer ban but even as at that, Chelsea still had the crop of players that could make it possible for them to go to the Champion's League in the next campaign. Also, the fact that so many top six teams are not really doing well supposed to have been a psychological boost to Chelsea to actually go on and take the fourth position without losing it to anyone but since their remarkable start in the first five or six games Chelsea have been on a downward spiral and it is even looking terrible currently.


What Are Some Of The Things Lampard Has Been Culpable For?


first of all, the way the whole team passes the ball, and the way they lose the ball, as well as the way they cannot stream close to five or six passes without making mistakes seems like they really do not do trainings or have training sessions. The truth is that Chelsea fans it difficult to raise the tempo of their games in order to beat teams that has very stubborn defences and also the way they failed to transition from defence to attack gives a lot of team rooms to prepare themselves and this makes it difficult for Chelsea who do not really have a creative playmaker to actually score goals. I remembered when they played Ajax in the champions League (second leg) and they couldn't trouble the Ajax defence simply because the way they pass the ball was so predictable and slow. They could have easily developed in their training sessions so that it will reflect or develop their style of play and I felt that Frank Lampard could have noticed all this and yet it kept repeating itself each and every game.

Let us not even talk about how they have been so poor in playing or taking set-piece as well as defending set pieces itself. About 2 to 4 years ago Willian was one of the best free kick takers in England and suddenly he can't even play a free kick that will trouble a goalkeeper and I'm thinking this was one of the things that Lampard could have addressed. He's failed to recognise his best 4 at the back and his experimentation process continues even at this current stage of the season. all these are the reason why I think Frank Lampard has been culpable and I basically feel that if he had dealt with this situations or even made efforts to deal with this situation then Chelsea should be in in third position currently because after Liverpool and Manchester City I haven't seen any other club that has done anything extra-ordinary and Chelsea should be taking this opportunity. So these are the reasons why I feel Frank Lampard would have failed. Should we however cut him some slack for being a young manager and need time to build on his tactical aspect but there are some primary assignment that he failed at and even someone who shouldn't or hasn't been a good manager should have at least worked on

i dont think its impossible for chelsa and for sure Lampard can't be questioned for the defeat. In fact Lampard have improved a lot in the team performance.

Also Spurs under Mohrihno has suddenly started performing well and they may easily get the spot. But am more inclined towards Chelsa.
