http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 midfielder Frank Lampard urged manager Carlo Ancelotti to strengthen the squad while he still had time in the January transfer window. The Blues have been in terrible form recently, their worst in over 15 years. After a
series of bad results, Carlo Ancelotti’s side secured an emphatic 7-0 win over Ipswich town in the third round of the FA Cup, which is now expected to lead to an improvement in other competitions as well.
One area where the Blues really need some improvement is the English Premier League, currently sitting at 5th place on the table. The Blues are a possible 12 points behind league leaders Manchester United, who happen
to have a game in hand and look to be unstoppable. Chelsea managed a measly 10 points out of a possible 33 in their last fixtures over the New Year’s period and were ruled out of the title race.
However, Frank Lampard believes his side can improve drastically if reinforcements are brought in during this transfer window. The star midfielder thinks the right transfers can make all the difference for the tired side at this
point in the season. He said while speaking to reporters, “If we add some new players in January then fantastic. Then hopefully we can get back to where we know we can be.”
The thrashing of Ipswich Town not only lifted moods at the club, but also has somewhat secured Ancelotti’s job for the time being. Even though Ancelotti was assured of his job after the terrible set of results while other English
Premier League managers were being shown the door, it was understood that another set of bad results would indeed lead to the departure of the Italian from Stamford Bridge in the near future.
The 7-0 score was impressive no doubt; however, it should be considered the defending champions beat a 20th place Championship side that was without a manager for the clash against the London giants. Nonetheless, Lampard
believes the win was important in restoring Chelsea’s confidence, which was very important for the Blues if they wanted to return to winning ways in the league.
Lampard stressed on the importance of returning to form in the league, he said, “The aim now is to win more games; it's as simple as that. We are looking week-by-week at the minute because at the moment we are not winning in the
league. We need to get back to winning (league) games. If we can score earlier in games then we will go on and win comfortably. The league games are very important over the next couple of weeks.”
