“STOP THE BLAME, I AM NOT THE PROBLEM”, Chelsea FLOP Nicholas Jackson Caution Chelsea Fans As He Expose Those Behind The Team’s Recent Failures

Frank Lampard commented on Mauricio Pochettino’s debut season at Chelsea, expressing that he wasn’t surprised by the challenges faced. Lampard, who temporarily managed the team after Graham Potter’s departure, handed over the reins to Pochettino in the summer. Despite Chelsea’s usual high standards, they find themselves in ninth place in the Premier League, struggling to secure European qualification through the league.

However, Lampard noted that even with their league position, Pochettino’s Chelsea could secure European qualification by winning the FA Cup. Lampard, speaking to the BBC ahead of their FA Cup semifinal against Manchester City, emphasized the incremental progress the team has made this season, considering the team’s composition.

Reflecting on their recent performances, Lampard acknowledged the importance of gaining confidence through positive results but cautioned against inconsistency, especially in managing games effectively. He pointed out the team’s reliance on players like Cole Palmer, who have contributed significantly to their recent successes.

Recent headlines highlighted Chelsea’s impressive 6-0 victory over Everton, marred by a dispute over penalties involving Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, and Palmer. Despite the controversy, Palmer ultimately scored four goals in the match. Chelsea’s recent form, with five wins and three draws since their Carabao Cup final loss in February, demonstrates their resilience.

Lampard, a Chelsea legend from his playing days, transitioned into management at the club from 2019 to 2021, following a period as interim manager. He acknowledged the challenges faced by incoming managers, citing the expected squad overhaul as inevitable. The revolving door of managers at Chelsea in recent years has added to the complexities of maintaining consistency and stability within the team.
