I noticed after one of Thomas' worst passes, there was a very audible groan from the crowd as he'd done it multiple times in quick succession. The Ifollow camera panned to Lampard who was applauding it and telling him to keep doing it (the harder passes not the poor passes I assume!).
He clearly knows a CB that can defend as well as Bobby may be slightly limited on the ball at times, but the pay off when he plays a midfield splitting pass is critical to our way of playing, no fear, keep trying it until it works. Props to Lampard and Bobby for sticking with it, it's working. If our defenders passing isn't perfect at least it tends to be forwards and wide, not messing about at the back.
