The Chelsea playmaker has issued a rallying call to his team mates and asked them to return to full action for the Blues as the season draws to a close. The Englishman has highlighted that the London club have not retained
the form that they gained when they defeated Napoli in the UEFA Champions League...
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 as the Englishman stated that the Blues have once again allowed their standards to drop considering their form which
they found against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003. Chelsea defeated Napoli at home in the second leg of their UEFA champions league round of 16 tie but English giants have now found it difficult to carry that form into the English Premier League as they drew against Tottenham but
before that they also lost to Manchester City.
With these two results, the Blues now find themselves under pressure from Newcastle United who are also vying for a top four place in the English premier league this season. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Di Matteo’s side gained a win over Benfica in
their latest Champions League match but it still remains to be seen whether or not they will progress past the Portuguese underdogs to the semi-finals of the competition.
Lampard said, "The fixtures and where we are in the table doesn't lie - we're not as good as we used to be. We used to have a fortress here and, for whatever reason, we're just not doing it. It's something we must all put right.
You know a derby against a very good Tottenham side is going to be tough. But I don't think we were at it enough. We had to play more with the urgency we showed against Napoli.”
He added, "Chelsea should be in the top four. No disrespect to the other top-five clubs but, with the ability we have, we should be in there. It is far from over. There is no point being downbeat about it at the minute. It's five
points and the gap has been bigger than that. “
