“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 conveyed that Mauricio Pochettino’s inaugural season at Chelsea did not come as a surprise to him, considering the circumstances. Following Graham Potter’s departure at the end of the prior season, Lampard temporarily assumed managerial duties at Stamford Bridge until Pochettino officially took the helm during the summer.

Chelsea’s current placement in ninth position in the Premier League, coupled with their struggles to secure a European berth through league performance, indicates a disappointing campaign compared to their usual standards of success.

However, irrespective of their league position, Pochettino’s Chelsea could secure European qualification by winning the FA Cup. In an interview with the BBC ahead of their FA Cup semifinal against Manchester City, Lampard articulated his lack of astonishment regarding Chelsea’s challenges this season, emphasizing the importance of incremental progress and adaptation.

Reflecting on the team’s composition and performance, Lampard noted that the season had been characterized by gradual improvement, akin to taking “baby steps.” He acknowledged the team’s inconsistent form, citing both periods of confidence-boosting undefeated streaks and instances of struggle in managing games effectively.

Lampard hinted at the team’s reliance on standout performers like Cole Palmer, whose contributions have been pivotal to Chelsea’s recent successes. While celebrating their recent 6-0 victory over Everton, Lampard acknowledged the formidable task ahead, alluding to the need for sustained momentum and performance consistency.

The narrative surrounding Chelsea’s recent matches includes noteworthy victories, such as the six-goal triumph over Everton, tempered by incidents like the altercation over penalty duties involving Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, and Palmer. Despite occasional challenges, Chelsea’s recent record boasts five wins and three draws since their defeat in the Carabao Cup final in February.

Lampard’s legacy at Chelsea, spanning from his midfield exploits between 2001 and 2014 to his managerial tenure from 2019 to 2021, solidified his status as a club icon. Amidst a period of managerial flux at Stamford Bridge, Lampard anticipated the inherent challenges facing any incoming manager, particularly amid significant squad changes, which he deemed inevitable.
