Frank Lampard senior admits he thinks Chelsea are missing his son Frank Lampard Jr more than ever, according to the Mirror.
Chelsea slumped to their 8th defeat of the season yesterday at Stamford Bridge against Bournemouth thanks to a late goal from substitute, Glen Murray.
Lampard left Chelsea at the end of the 2013-14 season, ending a glittering spell at Chelsea. During his time at Chelsea, Lampard won all there is to win and broke all sorts of records.
The midfielder is the club’s highest scoring player, ahead of Kerry Dixon and Bobby Tambling.
Lampard Snr admits any club would miss a number of goals that his son contributed over the years:
If you score that many goals you’re going to get missed at whatever club you’re at. He got 211 goals for them. Any club would miss the amount of goals he scored – and, of course, the kind of player he is.
He went on to add:
Frank stepped up and did the business at Chelsea. And that’s what Chelsea players must do now.
Lampard Snr also backs Mourinho to turn it around:
I think Jose will get it right in the end. He’s a top manager. They’re just going through a bad patch at the moment. But it’s the players who’ve got to start pulling their weight a bit more. It’s a mixture of things, but Jose will get there in the end.
Chelsea have struggled for goals this season, scoring just 17 goals in the first 15 games and currently sit just two points above the relegation zone. Table leaders and next weekend’s opponents, Leicester City have scored 32 goals.
