Mourinho is Still The Man to Lead Chelsea - Lampard

In view of their recent bismal form domestically and on the European stage, former Blues playmaker Frank Lampard said on Monday that Chelsea' s players must look at themselves and start performing as speculation continues to swirl over the future of manager Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea who were crowned Premier League champions' last season have lost six of their opening 11 games and currently sit at 15th in the table as several of the club' s outstanding players such as Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are struggling to hit the phenomenal form that helped Chelsea clinch the title last season .
