Frank Lampard’s job is in jeopardy after the humiliation against Manchester City on Sunday night. The Athletic one informs.
The loss to Manchester City was Chelsea’s fourth loss in seven games. Sources have told The Athletic that the club has begun to consider other management options.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving office. He may be safe for the rest of the season if the results improve.
Following the loss to Pep Guardiola’s team, the Chelsea manager said, among other things, that those defeats were part of the game.
26 – Chelsea have three points less after 17 league games than last season (29), whereas in the Premier League era, the Blues never finished above sixth place by accumulating a maximum of 26 points in this stage of the campaign. Pressure. pic.twitter.com/jEAFvPa1Pr

– We are in a period that nobody likes at the moment. We have seen that teams like City and Liverpool have gone through such tough periods at the beginning of their projects. You just have to fight. We have to see how we can improve, says Lampard.
That explanation doesn’t buy the soccer expert from TV 2.
– Explains a lot. He owes a little to the young players, but there aren’t that many young players in that starting lineup. The mount is relatively cool. He seems a bit concerned as it has been a month since Chelsea was mentioned as a candidate for the title. But you don’t get that time. When you spend so much money, everyday life is like this. Then he gets the tough questions when they’re in as bad shape as they are now, says TV 2 soccer expert Erik Huseklepp.
Horrible statistics
Right now, Chelsea are three points lower (26 points) after 17 league games than last season (29 points). In the Premier League era, Chelsea have never been above sixth place when they have held to 26 points at this stage of the league.
Also, Lampard’s stats against the other top teams are not a pleasant read for Chelsea fans. Based on the table position, the best team Chelsea have beaten this season is West Ham.
– They have lost a lot with the entry to the top matches. He has scored two goals against the supposedly six great teams, and there are two consolation goals. One against Manchester City and one against Arsenal. At least he says Lampard has missed a lot with these games. Because they have a team that can match anyone in this league, says Huseklepp.
Mourinho reveals: – It’s my favorite team in the Premier League
The Englishman is aware that he still has faith in his squad.
– Definitely. We were 16 games undefeated. I have faith in the group, says Lampard.
– I have faith in the group. It should not be interpreted as a criticism of the players, because today I will be the first to look at myself. When I look at the barn, I feel encouraged. But I know where we are and how much work it takes to reach Manchester City level, because it took many years. It is normal to walk with some bangs on the way, now comes the test.
Chelsea are in eighth place in the Premier League with 26 points.
