Lampard First Comments on Defeat Against Kawasaki Frontale 1 - nil !!

Lampard on Pulisic display: "Good, good, he has been here a couple of days really in terms of training, so have been really impressed.

"He's comfortable on the ball and I think he should have had a penalty towards the end of the game.
He wants to try to take people on, the sort of player the fans are going to like so we have to give him a little bit of time to adapt slightly.
But the way he (Pulisic) has trained, the way he has come in with his personality looks great so I am really pleased to have him"



Lampard on Kenedy: "If he continues to show the attitude & play the way he did today he is making a great case to stay having been on loan in recent seasons. Nobody is in or out of the squad or has had a line drawn under or over them. Everybody is competing to stay in it."

Lampard on Zouma: He's working really hard and if he competes for a position and plays well this season then he plays."
Lampard says he wants Kurt Zouma to stay at Chelsea this season, stressing he is a fine player and a good man who will benefit our squad.

Lampard " ‘I was very pleased with the players physically. I discovered a real appetite and attitude to work in the humidity with jetlag for a lot of the players.'

Lampard reports tammy abrahamhas tonsillitis and is already on the mend,
while Kepa has a stomach bug. He hopes both will be in contention for Barcelona next week.
