Lamps backing Sheva to shine
-
Frank Lampard is backing Ukraine striker Andrei Shevchenko to live up to his star billing at Chelsea.
Shevchenko was a £30million summer signing from Milan, but his first six months at Stamford Bridge have not gone as planned for the 30-year-old.
He has managed just five goals and again drew a blank against League Two minnows Macclesfield in the FA Cup at the weekend.
Shevchenko's performance against Macclesfield raised a number of eyebrows, but he has been backed to find his true form by England star Lampard.
"I do feel sympathy for him but it is no problem," Lampard told The Sun.
"Saturday was not a day where because he cost £30million and is a world-class striker he had to score.
"He has to work hard and try to lead the line, which he did. It doesn't always happen for you."
Reflecting on the win over Macclesfield on Saturday, Lampard added: "I hope people don't make a big deal about the fact he didn't score against Macclesfield because football is not that simple.
"He doesn't seem to be affected by not scoring. He is working hard in training and is a great professional.
"Of course he wants to score more goals, that is what he has done his whole career. He is keeping his head down and grafting. If you watch Saturday's game he didn't score but you could see he was trying to.
"You could see the frustration, that is normal, but as long as he keeps trying the goals will come.
"We can all try too hard - that is not really a big fault. That is just showing what you want to do. Eventually it will turn for him." -

who will want to pay for an off form and out of colour sheva??

Actually i don't believe shev is so bad... You just look at Larrson... He is 5 yrs older than him, didn't achieve as much as him over the years... So how can this be?
I think he is not getting the service from the midfield... One can start to wonder why England's strikers also have this problem... hmmm... -
milan had pirlo, kaka seedorf to supply. now lampard is the only one most likely to provide which he is not doing
