Chelsea fans have vented their frustration at Frank Lampard and his team selection ahead of the game against Brentford on Wednesday night. After one week to prepare following a free weekend, the interim boss chose to field just one orthodox attacker.
Raheem Sterling was selected as the main source of penetration whilst Conor Gallagher and N'Golo Kante got the nod over an assortment of expensively assembled attackers all left on the bench. With no Kai Havertz, Lampard left both Joao Felix and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as substitutes.
Cesar Azpilicueta returned to wing-back for his first appearance in two months following concussion and injury. Both Reece James and Mason Mount have been ruled out for most of the remainder of the season with injury.
