Chelsea fans call for Lampard’s sack

Frank Lampard is beginning to face pressure from some of his own fans after Chelsea’s disappointing 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Monday night. The loss was the Blues’ seventh at home this season and leaves them just one point above fifth-placed Tottenham going into their meeting at the weekend. And while Lampard is idolised by most Chelsea fans and widely heralded as their greatest ever player – calls of disgruntlement are beginning to grow ever louder with each poor result. Kovacic insists Chelsea need to ‘wake up’ after Man United setback The Blues started the season well enough, but are now winless in four in the Premier League and nervously peering over their shoulders. One angry fan aired his frustration on talkSPORT, calling for Lamps to be SACKED.
