"Chelsea in a bad year should be top 6" - Frank Lampard on Jose Mourinho's struggles at Chelsea

Wow, so much in that. The end there saying the top four has gone. He also said he felt betrayed by his players tonight. What's your reaction to that? I was very angry. I mean, you can see that. He's spoken for a long while there. I think you can probably applaud his honesty to an extent. I agree with him. I think the players weren't as good enough tonight. I don't know about betrayed there, his words from the dressing room, but they certainly didn't perform. He can't go out and perform to these players that played pretty well five days ago. I think what I take from that is he's not sure where to go with it. I think he's tried to be strong with them quite a lot of times earlier in the season. He's tried to now sort of say after Tottenham, you know, that was their best performance, you know, trying to be a bit more positive. I'm not sure what he's saying then. He's not happy with them. I don't think he sees where. I think it was quite crucial where he spoke about were they over-performing last year or are they just bad players? You know, he wasn't quite sure. He's questioning them. He's questioning the players as to how they can turn this around. I don't know about lost them. I think they're good players. Far too many are under-performing than they have been for a while. I mean, this is Chelsea we're talking about now. We're not talking about Chelsea. A bad year should be top six, you know, still there and thereabouts. Where they are just for the relegation zone isn't possible. So I don't know whether he's lost them, but something has to change. It has to change right now, whether it's attitude, whether it's performance, whether it's something. But that's only one man's decision. And that'll be Bram Nabramovic. And I think he's probably looking at this very closely. Obviously, we've been here before with Chelsea where managers change midway through the season. I think, I don't know how many times you can do that. You know, we had some good results from doing it before. We had a different set of players at that point. But I have to say that I think what they set out when they took Jose Mourinho back was a long plan. Now, what can they gain by getting rid of him now, where they're probably not going to make the top four anywhere, the top six. They're not going to get relegated, I think, if we're honest. So I'm sure there's a view to say, if I'm Roman Abramovic, hang on, let's see what happens at the end of the season. Why make a rash change now that can't really affect the year that much, and then see where we're at at the end of the year.
