Frank Lampard has just announced his team to take on West Ham at Stamford Bridge today, and there was one decision in particular that raised some eyebrows.
Everyone had been expecting Michy Batshuayi to start up front. He’s been Frank’s go to option off the bench all season, and since September has also been his choice to start matches as a rotation option.
But when the team was announced a few minutes ago, it was Olivier Giroud up front. What does it all mean? Chelsea fans on Twitter certainly weren’t short of opinions, that’s for sure. How do you feel about the move?
