As one
Lampard is speaking:
I'd like to take this opportunity as well to stand up for JT. He's taken a bit of stick recently, but today is the first league game he's missed all season. His general form this season has been brilliant. That's one of the reasons we're top.
Technically and defensively he's miles ahead of most of the players he gets compared to, and that's why he's always in the FIFpro team and winning Uefa's Most Valuable Defender award. We all know it's fashionable to have a pop at the top of the tree, but at Chelsea we know his true value. source, 25.04.2010
Lampard's presence on Sunday was all the more important in the absence of John Terry, who will return for Liverpool, as it was he who captained the side and led by example, his two goals (the second a delicate flick back across goal from a deep right-sided cross) capping a fine individual performance.
"I try to do that whenever I play but when you're missing John you're missing a big personality and a big player. I had the armband and it's nice to show a bit of determination everywhere, it wasn't just me it was Didier Drogba running up front, creating goals, and Ivanovic and Alex at the back defending." source, 27.04.2010
Frank and John are Chelsea. Or maybe not ARE but IS. As one.
