Chelsea and Frank Lampard are in Dublin were they face Bohemians FC on Wednesday before their tour of Ireland with a clash against St Patrick’s Athletic. In one of his first interviews, the 41-year-old made it clear that he wants to implement a fast and aggressive style of football at Stamford Bridge. Give Me Sport simulated Lampard’s first season on Football Manager 2019 to get an idea of what could happen. Lampard gets sacked after eight months as Chelsea lose to Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup third round and Watford in the FA Cup fourth round. Joe Edwards then takes over. The Blues end up finishing sixth in the Premier League, with Manchester City winning the title and Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool occupying second to fourth.
