Chelsea fans urge Frank Lampard to start Michy Batshuayi over Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud
CHELSEA fans have demanded Frank Lampard hand Michy Batshuayi a chance in their next game after Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud failed to impress against Leicester.
The Blues were held to a 1-1 draw in Super Frank’s first game at Stamford Bridge, with the visitors dominating the second half and having numerous chances to score a late winner.
And it means Belgium international Batshuayi was once again left to watch in the stands after failing to make the bench.
Many Chelsea fans regard the ex-Crystal Palace loanee as the best natural finisher at Lampard’s disposal.
And they are now urging their former midfield maestro to start Batshuayi in next weekend’s clash at Norwich City, with a lack of goals quickly emerging as one of Chelsea’s biggest problems.
One supporter tweeted: “Give Batshuayi a chance. Literally anything but Abraham. I rooted for him to score today but he really is a Championship player, sorry.”
Another said: “How’s Giroud and Abraham considered better than Batshuayi? Just how please?”
One wrote: “After that stinker I genuinely believe Michy Batshuayi deserves a chance, he can’t be worse than what the other strikers have offered today.”
Another proclaimed: “Batshuayi needs to get some game time now, it’s enough.”
One added: “OK I’m sick of Tammy now. Batshuayi let’s go!”
