Frank Lampard says there is nothing wrong with Chelsea fans believing they can win the Premier League.
There were 2,000 fans inside Stamford Bridge for the first time this season and they witnessed his lateral move to the top of the table with a convincing 3-1 win over Leeds.
It is the first time in more than two years that the Blues have risen to the top overnight and are now undefeated in nine games in the top flight.
Lampard remains cautious when it comes to discussing his title chances, but said: ‘There is nothing wrong with our fans thinking we can win the league. It was great to have them back. You can see how excited they are to be the best in the league. It looked like a lot more than 2000.
But it’s my job to know it’s a long season. So I’m not thinking about that right now, it’s December.
‘We are a progression. I said it at the beginning of the season and it probably sounded like an excuse.
‘But when you bring in new players and you have young players and you’re trying to integrate them, there are elements that take time.
‘If it’s this season that we can get to the real heights we want, we don’t know. It’s a long season and consistency is our next challenge. We are moving in a good direction. ‘
Lampard and his team were questioned earlier in the season after opening with just two wins out of six.
But the boss replied: ‘I’m very happy, it’s hard work. It is work in the training field, the players are adapting.
‘People will always question a last minute 3-3 draw at home with Southampton (in October) in Chelsea. It’s our job not to get caught up in the mess, the chatter, and the chatter and think about what happens on the training ground and here. At the moment the mood is good.
“But the reason Liverpool and Manchester City have done so well in recent years is because they do it all season long, we’re on a streak.”
And Lampard praised the impact of striker Olivier Giroud, who made his first league start since July with four Champions League goals in the middle of the week.
“His performance was excellent,” he said. That benchmark you create as a leader. People always ask me about him, but I know I can trust Oli when he’s there, and that’s huge. ‘
Meanwhile, Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa did not complain about the result.
“I thought the result was fair,” he said. “It was a difficult game given the quality of the rival.”
