Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet is happy seeing Frank Lampard now manager.

Lampard was Poyet's playing replacement at Chelsea in 2001 and is now in the hot seat at Stamford Bridge.

"I like what Frank did last season without the chance to sign players," Poyet told the Daily Mail. "He used young players who go through these adrenaline periods of doing brilliantly and then not so well.

"Expectations have changed now because Chelsea spent big money in the summer. Frank has embraced that, no more transition period.

"Is it more pressure? Give me pressure with better players any day. I'd always prefer a chairman who spends £200milion."
