Stamford Chidge & Jonathan Kydd are joined by Alex Churchill to welcome Super Frankie Lampard back with a massive joyous hug as the legend returns for his second stint as Chelsea manager.
In part one, Frankie Goes to Boehlywood!! We discuss what could well be a very shrewd move by the club, but is there footballing sense to it or is it just good PR to keep the supporters off their back? With the appointment of Lampard and his coaching staff of Ashley Cole, Joe Edwards, Chris Jones and Paul Clements are the club rightly de-Brightonising and re-Chelseafying things? What will it mean for the squad – Mount, James, Gallagher, Pulisic, Ziyech and Kepa in particular? And where are we with the various new manager rumours - Nagelsmann, Enrique, Pochettino, Mourinho, Conte, Gallardo…even Lampard?
In part two we look back at the 0-0 draw against LIverpool. Bruno at least played players in their right positions and set up with a 5 man midfield. Kante was excellent and it was so good to see him back. Chelsea created chances, couldn’t score any goals of course and Havertz and Kovacic were particularly inept, whilst Liverpool were hilariously very poor, but was 0-0 a fair result?
In part two we look ahead to Wolves v Chelsea, starting with Chidge's team selection. Will Frank go full English and play those he knows well? Will he go with four at the back or stay with three? How can Frank get Chelsea scoring? Will he leave big holes at the back? Wolves can’t score, we can’t score, does the match have 0-0 written all over it? We wrap up with our predictions.
