Chelsea: Should Lampard be given more time to succeed?
This will be the first-ever meeting between Chelsea and Morecambe. The Blues head into the FA Cup clash bidding to hit back to form after last weekend’s 3-1 home defeat at hands of Manchester City. In a competition known for producing upsets, Frank Lampard insists his side must respect their League Two opponents.
“It certainly isn’t a foregone conclusion,” said the Chelsea manager.
“No matter form, no matter team, no matter status, the FA Cup has a magic that has been there forever, which means that underdogs will turn up, try to win, make things difficult for you.
“Considering our current form, we need to be even more on-guard.
“We just have to worry about ourselves and get ourselves playing well, because if we play well and we do our job right then I believe we will win the game.
“We have to respect Morecambe and we have to respect the FA Cup.”
Morecambe boss Derek Adams plans to draw on previous giant-killing experience when his side heads to Stamford Bridge.
Adams was in charge of Ross County in 2010 when reached the final of the Scottish Cup, knocking out shocking Celtic 2-0 in the last four.
“I think experiences like that are very helpful: going into the game you understand the game that’s in front of you, you understand the opposition,” said Adams.
“The experiences I’ve had in the past, you always draw on, because you go back and you think how did you deal with this situation, and there’s no doubt that I’ll do that for this game.
“So we’ll speak about that collectively.
“In the past I’ve had to go to Hampden and play against Celtic when I was in the first division with Ross County: we beat them 2-0 on the day in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup to reach the final.”
