Forward Thinking By Lamps!

And Lamps feels that he played the role well- he did score two goals, after all!

Lampard said "I'd wanted to say to the manager recently that I'd like to play a bit more forward as I think I can score more goals.

"I didn't say anything to him though, but he still gave me more of a free run at Blackburn and luckily I got on the end of two goals.

"It's difficult to get in the team in that position as we've got Damien Duff, Joe Cole and other players but if I'm asked to do a job there then I'm very pleased as I feel that I can score."

I'm beginning to think that we could ask Lamps to play in goal and he'd still do a good job!
