Gabby Agbonlahor has urged Frank Lampard to use Joao Felix in the number 10 position after Chelsea’s defeat against Arsenal.

After Chelsea's loss to Arsenal, Gabby Agbonlahor has pushed Frank Lampard to play Joao Felix at number 10.

As a result of Friday night's 3-1 away loss to Arsenal, Chelsea's losing run has now reached six games. With three points, Arsenal will return to the top of the Premier League standings.

With Noni Madueke's second-half goal, the Blues fans at the Emirates Stadium were treated to a rare goal. However, Lampard's team trailed 3-0 at the break after being completely destroyed by Arsenal.

Enzo Fernandez, Mateo Kovacic, and N'Golo Kante made up Chelsea's three-man midfield, but they couldn't approach Arsenal.

TalkSPORT pundit Agbonlahor has since claimed that the Blues need to sacrifice a central midfielder and bring Joao Felix into the XI.

looking at Chelsea’s formation… Kante, Kovacic, and Fernandez are experienced players, but did you need all three of them in there?” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT.

“You’ve got three midfielders in there and you’ve got Felix [on the bench]. Play Felix as a number 10. Put Kante next to Enzo Fernandez.”
Felix was an unused substitute for Chelsea against Arsenal and he’s lost his starting position in recent games.

In an interview last week, Lampard clarified that Felix doesn't even understand his ideal position.

Lampard explained in an interview this week that Felix doesn’t even know his best position.

Therefore, it’s no real shock the caretaker manager isn’t quite set on the versatile midfield.

His end product hasn’t been anywhere near good enough in Chelsea colours since he joined on loan from Atletico Madrid back in January, but he often looks the bright spark in a really dull forward line wherever he’s used.

We definitely think he deserves a run out in the upcoming fixtures against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest, which present a chance to try end the team’s woeful run of results.

Opposition defenders still don’t enjoy the kind of intelligent positions Felix takes up on the pitch. He just needs to try fit the pieces of the jigsaw together to get the best out of himself.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that the interim manager isn't entirely committed to the versatile midfield.

Since joining Chelsea on loan from Atletico Madrid in January, his final product hasn't come close to being good enough, but he frequently stands out in a rather lifeless forward line wherever he is played.

In the upcoming games against Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest, which offer a chance to try and end the team's dismal run of results, we firmly believe that he deserves to play.

Defenders from the opposition still dislike the kind of shrewd stances Felix adopts on the field. All he has to do is try to fit the components of the

Christian Pulisic Drawing Interest of AC Milan, Napoli, Juventus

WIN OUR $5 BTC TOKENS It is not up for debate anymore whether or not Christian Pulisic should leave Chelsea FC. The debate to be had now is where he should go. Pulisic went an unused substitute in the Blues win this past weekend, after having been left out of the team entirely the week before. As we wrote last week, if Pulisic never plays for Chelsea again that would be just fine. So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A. As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

Pochettino identifies midfielder that will play key role in his squad

Mason Mount has been named a crucial member of his squad by Argentine international and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is widely expected to be Chelsea's next manager.

Amid the uncertainty surrounding his future at Stamford Bridge, Mount has been linked with a summer exit, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal all showing interest and willingness to sign him. Like Chelsea, Mount has struggled to impress this season, scoring only three goals and creating six assists in all competitio...

Chelsea transfer news: Barcelona can help Chelsea's transfer efforts this summer, especially when it comes to landing a striker

Finding methods to help Chelsea's goal-scoring problems is their top focus going into the summer transfer season. The next head coach will have a significant task to tackle once they are appointed because there are issues with both opportunity generation and finishing. Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so. The lengthy wait is due to the hierarchy's use of a careful process to choose their next hire. Interim manager Frank Lampard has taken charge of the squad until the end of the season, allowing for a clean slate for the manager-in-waiting. With just one win in his tenure so far, the former midfielder was quite frank in his assessment of the assessment, saying last month: "Is there an issue with the balance of the squad? Maybe, yeah." As the club starts to plan for the future, it implies that some squad players who a...
