A thread on how Frank Lampard wants Chelsea to play
I've heard various opinions that Frank lampard has no system or "Frank Lampard just crosses and inshallah". Well it is totally wrong. I'd explain below
Let's first start with the formation. People say "Lampard plays a 433" while others say "Lampard plays a 4231" well I'm here to tell you, they both have the same skeleton with or without the ball. I'll give more explanation on the attackers and share a little light on the
Defenders, starting from the attackers
The attackers Lampard wants to play is
Pulisic Werner ziyech
Havertz
When without the ball Lampard tends to turn the formation to a 442, whether we play a 4231 or a 433
Ziyech being a partial striker with Werner.

The four midfielders will be
Pulisic mount kante havertz
Our press is very different to other teams as kante which is meant to be the DM forms the line of press first with havertz and Mount coming deep to support him. This isn't unusual because kante has the energy and work rate

To do win the ball back in various positions
When we win the ball back, the formation changes immediately to a 2-2-6
Our fbs join the attack and havertz enters the box. The opinion that havertz and ziyech doesn't work together is wrong because havertz is most likely gonna be in

The box and ziyech outside. Werner is mobile striker so he would drop deep and this is were havertz will occupy like a false nine, pulisic will also play off Werner like mane does. Chilwell and Reece James will flank the wings. On the other hand Mount will stay deep and help..
Build up and also help kante defend a little
So the formation will most likely change to
Chilly puli havertz RJ
Werner
Ziyech
Mount kante
Silva. Zouma

When we lose the ball back, zouma goes to cover for Reece James on transition kante steps in for zouma. But it isn't the same at the other end because Silva is old and now lacks pace so Mount steps in to cover for chilly.
The build up phase is filled with long range passes...

And it involves counter pressing in the middle, the notion that Lampard just depends on crosses is very wrong.
The reason why we've been losing lately is because of Mount running into the box, isolating kante to also build up, forcing kai to drop deep
And zouma lack of counter.

Press vs wolves. It could even been seen vs Everton richarlison having space to take shots on target.
This is how I feel Lampard wants to play. Its just my opinion, nice criticism is appreciated. Don't forget to like and RTS
