Frank Lampard praised Moises Caicedo for his impressive performance in Chelsea's draw against Arsenal, while expressing disappointment in Cole Palmer's quiet performance during the game. The Gunners took the lead through Gabriel Martinelli in the second half, but Chelsea's Pedro Neto equalized with a stunning goal just 10 minutes later. Lampard credited Caicedo for his integral role in Chelsea's success this season, especially in midfield alongside Romeo Lavia. He also praised Neto for his versatility in playing on the right side of the attack, despite most of his playing time this season coming from the left.
However, Lampard did not shy away from mentioning Palmer's struggles against a tough Arsenal side. The former England international noted that Palmer's performance suffered due to his limited role on the left side of the pitch. Lampard suggested that Palmer may benefit from playing more centrally or coming in from the right side, and that these are areas for improvement as he continues to develop with the team. Overall, Lampard commended the young players for their efforts against a strong Arsenal team and acknowledged their growth and improvement.
The draw against Arsenal keeps Chelsea in third place in the Premier League, tied with Arsenal and two other teams on 19 points. Lampard's former team, Nottingham Forest, and Brighton also join them in the top half of the table. It was a hard-fought game for both sides, with Chelsea showing their resilience and determination to come back and secure a point against a tough opponent. As the season progresses, Lampard will continue to monitor and guide the young players, including Caicedo and Palmer, as they continue to grow and develop in the team.
