Frank Lampard fears Chelsea’s youthful squad could hold them back under new boss Enzo Maresca after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Blues were at their scintillating best in a 6-0 win over Wolves last weekend but were brought back down to earth in midweek after a 2-1 loss to Servette in the Europa Conference League. Another inconsistent display followed at Stamford Bridge on Sunday as Maresca’s side surged ahead through Nicolas Jackson but were pinned back and forced to settle for a point after Eberechi Eze’s second-half strike. With a new manager and plenty of fresh signings still to blood into the team, Lampard urged caution from fans, insisting those factors and the squad’s youthful make-up will lead to inconsistent performances. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #franklampard #enzomaresca #crystalpalace #football #transferwindow

Arsenal have been left ‘disappointed’ and counting the potential cost of losing teenage goal machine Chido Obi-Martin to Manchester United. The 16-year-old shot to prominence last season on the back of his extraordinary goalscoring exploits for the Gunners’ youth sides. Obi-Martin registered an astonishing 32 goals in 18 matches for the Under-18s, including a preposterous 10 in a single game against Liverpool. With a new contract to be agreed, Arsenal believed they had put in enough groundwork, offered a significant financial incentive and mapped out a path into the first that would be enough to tempt Obi-Martin into committing his future to the north London club. #footballfanarena #ffa #arsenal #chidoobi-Martin #football #manchesterunited #liverpool
