This week on the Indy Football Podcast we take a look at Chelsea’s start to the season under new manager Frank Lampard.

Host Luke Brown is joined by Tony Evans and Jack Rathborn to discuss Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat by Valencia in the Champions League, and where it leaves the club’s hopes of reaching the knockout stages.

They take a deep dive into Lampard’s tactics since arriving at Stamford Bridge, and attempt to figure out exactly what it is he is attempting to achieve with his boldly attacking line-ups.

Something certainly seems to be working – with numerous young players catching the eye and the club finding some form in the Premier League. But how long will Lampard be given to ensure that his Chelsea project is a success?

All that and more below.
