Former Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood recently suggested that the Chelsea hierarchy will have been questioning Lampard’s decision to drop Arrizabalaga, though insisted he agrees with the 41-year-old coach’s decision-making.
“The pressure’s more on Frank Lampard [than Caballero] because the hierarchy are looking and saying ‘Oh okay, richest goalkeeper in the world and you’re going to decide to drop him’,” Sherwood said on Premier League Productions show The Weekend Review.
“I think he made the correct decision, I am not having Kepa [from] the first time he told [Maurizio] Sarri last year at Wembley he’s not coming off when he put his number up. I cannot have the kid’s attitude.
