Ex-Chelsea striker explains why Lampard is struggling

Tony Cascarino believes one of Chelsea’s main shortcomings this season has stemmed from the fact Frank Lampard does not know what his best XI is. Chelsea suffered 0-1 defeat at Newcastle United, as Isaac Hayden scored for the club in the 90+4 minute of the game. “I’m not convinced he totally knows who is his best XI,” Cascarino told the Weekend Sports Breakfast. “[Callum] Hudson-Odoi’s been in, Willian’s come in, [Christian] Pulisic’s has come in. Mason Mount has been in and out the team, Reece James has played… “If you look at the centre-halves, he’s had [Kurt] Zouma and [Fikayo] Tomori. But [Andreas] Christensen played alongside [Antonio] Rudiger yesterday? “There’s four centre-halves and it could be any two! And you’re not really sure that they’re his best two. And Christensen – you were not really sure if he was going to play a part at all because a couple of weeks ago Frank Lampard said he might actually go and play elsewhere. So it’s a really weird scenario where Lampard does not know his best XI." Source- TalkSport Join us on Telegram!
