Do you agree with Lampard that we aren't as good?

I cannot believe all the fuss about what Frank Lampard said the other day and the fact that the press are really focusing on it ahead of our crunch game tonight in Lisbon. At the end of the day, Lampard has said just what we all have been thinking so what's wrong with that?. This is what Lampard said on Chelsea TV:

"The fixtures and where we are in the table doesn't lie - we're not as good as we used to be. We used to have a fortress here and, for whatever reason, we're just not doing it. It's something we must all put right.

You know a derby against a very good Tottenham side is going to be tough. But I don't think we were at it enough. We had to play more with the urgency we showed against Napoli. Against Tottenham, we didn't really do enough to lift the fans. We had the high of Napoli, then we got beaten by Manchester City and now we need to up it again.

Chelsea should be in the top four. No disrespect to the other top-five clubs but, with the ability we have, we should be in there. There is no point being downbeat about it at the minute. It's five points and the gap has been bigger than that. It's up to us now to get ourselves right for Benfica and the league games coming up.

It's losing games we should have won home and away, We have to take all the league games now as knockout matches. It's very cliched but we're fighting from behind, and if we lose a game and lose points then the gap is bigger and the amount of games left is shorter. So we know, especially after that draw, the gap is still five points and there is no more room for slip-ups."

So where is Lampard wrong? We should be in the top four without question, should be going to the likes of Wigan and beating them and not taking only a point (no disrespect to Wigan).

I saw the other day the Chelsea v Aston Villa game from March 2010 (our double winning season) where we beat them 7-1 and the side we were that day are a distant memory of what we have had to put up with for the past two seasons now.

The thing is, Lampard knows that Chelsea can improve and HAVE TO improve if we are to finish in the top four and anything else isn't good enough. As a result, we aren't as good as we were and he is dead right!.

What do you people think?
