Frank Lampard is starting to sound like his Chelsea managerial mentor Jose Mourinho, says Glenn Hoddle.

Lampard may not have alot of managerial experience at the very top of the game, but the club decided to back the club legend in the transfer window and allow him to sign players that make the club serious contenders for that Premier League title.

A positive start has been made to that quest, with the odd bump in the road hit along the way, with the lads just a few points of top spot after losing for the first time in 17 games against Everton at the weekend.

Lampard has sought to curb expectations at regular intervals, with Hoddle opening up and suggesting that Lampard is using former club coach Mourinho to help divert all the attention away from the expectations of the club

Former Blues boss Mourinho, who Lampard enjoyed many trophy-laden years playing under, has made a career out of diverting attention away from the supposed task that he has in hand.

Hoddle told the Evening Standard when quizzed on Lampard downplaying title talk: “It is a little bit like Jose Mourinho saying Tottenham are like a ‘little pony’ in the race compared to the thoroughbred racehorses. I can see where Frank is coming from.

“But if there is ever a season where someone can come through and win the Premier League, it could be this year. You only have to look at the results this past weekend.

“Now Chelsea brought in Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech, they have unbelievable firepower, and they have brought Thiago Silva in and brought in a goalkeeper which seems to have sorted their defensive issues.

“I can see why Frank is underplaying it, and yes Liverpool and Manchester City are still the favourites, but Chelsea and Tottenham are in with a fighting chance.”
