Premier League pundits reveals what can save Frank Lampard from being sacked at Chelsea

Popular Premier League pundits Paul Merson has insisted that Frank Lampard must sign a striker in the January transfer window if he wants to mount a serious title challenge.

Frank Lampard has been under huge pressure ever since his team lost their fourth match in six matches against Manchester City on Sunday night.

Pep Guardiola’s team outclassed Chelsea at their home ground with a 3-1 win despite having some first team players out due to Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

Paul Merson has now insisted that Frank Lampard need a new striker upfront if he wants to retain his job as his future continue to raise eyebrows.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson stated that he does not know where Werner plays in Frank Lampard’s team as he think Chelsea may have signed him to play as a striker, but that is not working

He noted that if Werner’s best position is off the left, then Chelsea need a centre-forward.

With Giroud and Abraham scoring goals whenever they are on the pitch, Merson stated that no disrespect to the duo, but Chelsea are not going to win the Premier League with those as your front two.

He noted that Giroud and Abraham do great on their day, but they are not going to be in the top six Premier League goalscorers this season, or any season.

Citing how important it is to score goals, Merson asked how many teams have won the Premier League without having a player in the top six scorers?”

Lampard spent over £220million on the likes of Kai Havertz and Timo Werner in the summer but are currently ninth in the table.
