Frank Lampard: Why Mohamed Salah Didn't Do Well At Chelsea

Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard has revealed why Mohammed Salah did not do well while at the Stamford Bridge.

The Egyptian has scored his39th goal of an increasingly prolific season to help send Jurgen Klopp’s side throughto the last four of the Champions League at the expense of Manchester City.

Lampard played alongside Salah at Chelsea during the Egyptian international’s underwhelming 18-month spell at Stamford Bridge.

Salah returned to the Premier League in the summer, transforming from an erratic winger to a free scoring forward.

Asked if he thought Salah was capable of producing the sort of form he is in currently, Lampard told BT Sprot, ‘No.

“But he didn’t get that manychances [at Chelsea] to show that. But he’s released himself from the wing. At Chelsea he was seen as a winger.

“He didn’t have much impact but there were a lot of players ahead of him, the likes of Eden Hazard who was older than him.

“By releasing himself from the wing he’s been able to show his brilliant intelligence. Even for the goal. Sometimes we watch Lionel Messi and he’s great at just standing in areas.

Chelsea Ace Rudiger Blasts Teammates After 1-1 West Ham Draw

Chelsea defender, Antonio Rudiger has hit out at his team mates for failing to win yesterday’s Premier League game against West Ham.

Javier Hernandez’s strike cancelled out Cesar Azpilicueta’s goal ending the game in a 1-1 draw.

Unhappy with his team’s forward line for failing to put the game out of sight, Rudiger slammed the team for letting their level “drop” once more.

“I think we begged. We begged for the goal,” he told Sky Sports after the match.

“I think in the second half we can finish the game. But Like the last few months we didn’t and we concede.

“For me, it’s not easy to explain. I don’t understand why after 1-0 we always drop and let the opponent get more ball possession.

“Like the last weeks again, we give them a gift. I think that was the first chance they have.”

It was Chelsea’s first game after legend Ray Wilkins’ death, Rudiger lamented that they could not give him the send-off he deserved.
