Carragher had his duels with the current Chelsea boss during his playing days, and the two regularly locked horns when Liverpool took on the Blues. The former Reds defender spent his entire career at Anfield before retiring from football in 2013. Carragher has since moved on to a role as a television pundit.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Englishman claimed that the current Blues manager aspires to be like the Tottenham Hotspur boss.

Lampard is under a lot of pressure at the moment, with Chelsea eighth in the Premier League table. The Blues have lost four of their last six games and the Englishman has a job in his hands to revive their season.

Chelsea manager’s inexperience might hurt him, says Carragher

Lampard’s record at Chelsea has been compared with those of his predecessors, including Mourinho. Despite the contrasting statistics of their time in charge, Carragher believes that the comparisons between the Englishman and the Portuguese are inevitable.

Chelsea succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Manchester City this weekend, and Carragher feels that Lampard’s inexperience might hurt him as the going gets tough.
