'Raheem’s a player that has the credit in the bank, he’s been a regular scorer in the Premier League and for his country...' CFC
The Blues were booed off by their home supporters at the break against Forest as they trailed to Taiwo Awoniyi’s header after Edouard Mendy could only flap at a cross in his first game back since returning to full fitness.
Lampard said Sterling’s example was one the whole team would need to follow going into next season if“Raheem’s a player that has the credit in the bank, he’s been a regular scorer in the Premier League and for his country,” said the Blues boss. The draw means Chelsea are still without a home win since Lampard returned as interim manager on April 6 and saw them slip back into 12th place with Crystal Palace’s win over Bournemouth.
“What displeased me was that in the first half we didn’t do it with enough urgency to break the back five; sideways, safe. Then in the second half when we did, we underlapped them and get a goal and we showed urgency in our running forward and we get another goal.
“We knew Chelsea were going to have the ball, we were away from home. But the game was going exactly as we wanted it to go. So to quickly turn it to go to 2-1 down and then to get something out of the game I think is a positive as well. There’s loads to take out of the game.
