The Blues face an important week in their hunt for a trophy this term, with Thursday's first leg of the Europa League last 32 at Sparta Prague followed by a FA Cup fourth-round replay with Brentford on Sunday.

Realistically those are the only trophies last year's European champions can win this term, as they trail Manchester United by 16 points in the Premier League.

"At the minute the season hasn't been successful," Lampard told Chelsea TV. "We should be challenging for titles rather than third or fourth, but we're not. And we've not won some cups, we've been knocked out.

"We have to grab the fact that there's a lot of games to play and we have to try to win something."

There have been contradictory reports over whether Blues owner Roman Abramovich is prepared to offer Lampard a new contract to extend his 12-year stay beyond the end of the season.

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
