I do not mind Lampard playing I just hope it is on his form (and at his age - fitness) and not on merit. Ill be annoyed if he goes on another 5 or 6 game run starting each one whether he does well or not

AgreeTBK but suspect you meant reputation not merit?

Sorry you're right

Fitness doesn't really go with age these days, it's just about him not becoming injury prone.

I like avb's rotation policy, everyone seems to be getting games, even kalou. I think avb already knows that we play faster without lampard and mikel and is just using them cos he is still trying to up their game.

Mikel has upped his game. He's played ok to good in his past 3 games.
