The 21-year-old was hoped to be one of those to fill Hazard&#8217;s boots, but Pulisic has so far struggled to win a consistent place in Chelsea&#8217;s starting XI.<\/p>\n<p>After starting the opening game of the Premier League season on the bench, Pulisic has handed his full debut in the Uefa Super Cup final, recording an assist for Olivier Giroud&#8217;s opener.<\/p>\n<p>He has rewarded for a good performance by starting Chelsea&#8217;s next three league games but since the start of September he has played just three times, missing both Champions League fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>Of those three appearances, two have come in the Premier League, including a 10-minute cameo against Southampton in which he recorded an assist. This has led some fans to ask for Pulisic to play a bigger role at Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>And when asked about the possibility of Pulisic going out on loan in January, Lampard bluntly replied: &#8220;No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;With Christian, he\u2019s come to us in a big move, let\u2019s make no mistake about it, and then he\u2019s just turned 21 recently, and we\u2019ve got a competitive squad here.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I said it before the last game, I always have a problem with who to pick. People make my decisions in training or how they\u2019re playing, and at the minute with winning four on the bounce I need the edge of staying in the team and keep performing and everyone is the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Manchester United &amp; Liverpool Ranked From Worst to Best\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LDn2xp26mjE?start=567&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to <a href=\"http:\/\/sqwk.at\/Squawka-Sub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Squawka\u2019s Youtube channel here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>&#8216;Chelsea have to protect Pulisic&#8217;<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lampard went on to remind those watching on of Pulisic&#8217;s age, with the American only recently celebrating his 21st birthday &#8211; having broke through at Dortmund as a 17-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Christian coming here, we have to protect him for that fact because he\u2019s young,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChristian, as with every player in the squad, needs to work hard in training, keep improving in training, see the direction we\u2019re going, be a part of it, and show what you can do on a match day, and all the players are the same there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is [easy to forget his age]. You can look beyond that because he came through at a very young age at Dortmund and huge credit to him for that. It\u2019s amazing to come through that. He was playing at a top level team at Dortmund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were times when he was in the team, times when he wasn\u2019t, that\u2019s part of development. I was fortunate when I came through in my day because West Ham didn\u2019t have too many players in front of me, so I got opportunities. The pathway was open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Christian, huge credit to him for coming through at Dortmund at a young age, but then it brings other difficulties where sometimes you\u2019re out of the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou come to Chelsea and it\u2019s a similar situation. The demands are huge. The interest from outside is huge and he\u2019s a young boy. I have no problem.
