It has come to my attention that whenever Frank Lampard has played for England in the new Wembley stadium he is getting booed, but why is this so? Well I understand he put in a few substandard performances for England in last few months but why are they still booing. I could probably understand if he had of been booed during the Germany game, but that should of been the case closed yet England fans continue to boo their own player.Lampard, who has arguably been one of England's most consistent performers of the last few years has been unfairly targeted in former England star John Barnes, who feels the booing is wrong and should come to an immediate end:"It is just wrong. "This is not a healthy situation either for Frank or for the team. It doesn't help him or the other players."
He added: "Frank is an England player and we all want England to do well, the problem is this sort of thing does transmit to the rest of the side."As much as the other players will be happy they are not the ones being booed, it is not a positive situation for any of them. Lampard had been playing alongside Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in the centre of midfield up until the last few qualifiers and some feel they never play well together, but why isn't Gerrard getting booed?
Well my answer is I'm not sure. I think it is very harsh on the former West Ham player and it is only making him play and feel worse. Everyone knows that Lampard has great talent and is one of Europe's best midfielders on his day, but just because he is going through a difficult spell for the national side, doesn't mean you boo the player.
