Frank Lampard Must Keep Faith in Chelsea's Emerging Youth - Despite Man Utd Thumping

Following Sunday's crushing 4-0 defeat to Manchester United, there have already been calls for new Chelsea manager Frank Lampard to drop many of his young players and call up the old guard.

Former Blues manager Jose Mourinho, who was making his punditry debut for Sky Sports, was particularly critical of Lampard's decision to play inexperienced duo Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham, ahead of more tried and tested players like Olivier Giroud.

His comments, you might say, are a little ironic given the fact he was dismissed from his last job for failing to move with the times, sticking with what he knew - an outdated, mundane brand of football.
