Lampard lost to Arteta and criticizes Werner

In the 15th round of the Premier League, London's Chelsea lost to Arsenal in the derby 1:3, and the head coach of the team, Frank Lampard, went over the figure of Timo Werner.

We have already spoken about the problems of the London Arsenal this season. Poor selection, a schism in the team, lack of motivation and simple play are becoming an increasing problem for the Gunners. But this did not stop them from beating Chelsea in the London derby and slightly improving their position.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have had a good stretch of the season, but in the last four games the Blues have felt a decline. Lampard's squad have lost three of their last four Premier League matches, beating only West Ham. The team dropped from the top four to eighth place and even the effect of Edouard Mendy, who began his career at Stamford Bridge with a series of clean sheets, does not help the Pensioners.

After the match, Frank Lampard went over the those who are to blame for the defeat. The coach does not deny his own guilt, but did not forget to mention Timo Werner's weak play,

“Today Timo didn't help us enough either when he had the ball or when he didn't have the ball. In doing so, we need to give him time. I keep saying that because he ended up in a different league. But at the same time, we need to speed up the process.

We'll talk to him about fatigue later. I felt that changes needed to be made to change the course of the match,” Lampard said.

The German was bought for a good price of 50 million euros at the height of the crisis caused by the pandemic. Perhaps that is why the coach decided to go over his person, expecting an early adaptation and repulsing the invested funds. But Chelsea may have problems here.

We all remember how in the match with Besiktas, while playing for Leipzig, Werner asked for a substitution in the 32nd minute of the match. Then he was interrupted by too noisy fans, which speaks of the psychological instability of the football player. Therefore, we consider open criticism from Lampard to be very dangerous, since there is a high probability that Timo will not take it as he should. It's surprising to us that Frank followed in Mourinho's footsteps and delivered such a speech to the public. At the same time, Werner undertook to resolve issues here and now, but in the end he did not score in ten games in a row, setting the record for his worst goalless streak in four years.
