Frank Lampard not afraid to make big Kepa Arrizabalaga decision for Chelsea this month

Frank Lampard insists he would not be afraid to drop Kepa Arrizabalaga as Chelsea’s main goalkeeper. The goalkeeper made some questionable performances for the club including the goal that he conceded against Newcastle United on Saturday. Stats show that Kepa has been one of the worst-performing goalkeepers in the Premier League this season. "If I felt there was a need to change I would," Lampard said. "Obviously I haven't done yet and Willy is fantastic in his role here. It's a difficult job being a No 2 goalkeeper when it's not so many games and a lot of training. He does that fantastically when he steps in and when he's in the dressing room he's brilliant. So I obviously haven't seen it that way yet." Lampard believes Kepa still has some improvement to make. "[It's a] Difficult question. I don't want to get on that comparison," Lampard added. "I agree that the fee is something that brings all the eyes on. I think that was the case last season and is the same this. But I want to come away from that and just talk about what we can do here and as I said before about generally with players, is about how we can all improve. And without a doubt with Kepa there is improvement he'll want to make. He should do. I like his attitude in that he's on himself and wants to be the best he can be. "So it's what he can do for himself. I mentioned the weekend, where I think he probably could have saved a goal but there have been other times where he has made saves - Watford away sticks out, in the last seconds where he made a similar kind of save to what he didn't make at the weekend. I'm happy with him but as I say, I always want better." Source- Football.london Join us on Telegram!
