Lampard's importance in the current Chelsea squad

Will Lampard see his career through at the bridge?

A lot of talk involving Frank Lampard has been going on recently, about how Frank Lampard does not fit in as a regular for Chelsea, after being dropped to the bench for 3 consecutive Premier League games. We have seen that Lampard does not fit in to the new dynamic Chelsea first team. Hence, he probably won’t play as many games as he used to any more, and this rises a new question. Is Frank Lampard no longer important to the club?

Frank Lampard is still a very valuable player for Chelsea for what he has to offer off the field, or on the fields at Cobham. A veteran like Lampard brings a lot of experience and it helps the younger players a lot by learning and training alongside such a maestro. His presence on the field on big days helps a lot, too. During big games, Lampard’s experience, and his knowledge can help the team to break a big team down and win the game. Di Matteo has recently emphasized that Frank Lampard is still important to the club, and this is probably the reason. A massive experience, and leadership skills, can sometimes be the difference between two sides on a big day.

Yes, we already have experience in the team with regards to Petr Cech and John Terry but a little more experience has never done any harm, nor has squad depth. In my opinion, Frank Lampard should see out his remaining career at Chelsea and retire as a blue legend.

However, it remains to be seen what transpires. Will the Chelsea legend leave the club at the end of the season, due to a generational shift which saw Didier Drogba leave, this summer?

Should Super Frank see out his career at the Bridge, or is it time to move on for the stalwart?
