Also, Ben Chilwell who joined from Leicester City has been creative going forward from the left back side.
Lampard has also hailed the experience Thiago Silva who joined the club from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer.
While Edouard Mendy who joined Rennes as he has displaced Kepa Arrizabalaga and Willy Caballero who don't seems to have been favored by the manager as they have been inconsistent.
The Blues are currently second in the league, but will face their London rival Tottenham Hotspur at the Stamford Bridge this weekend.
The manager has given a good update to fans that Christian Pulisic is in contention for the game.
The 22-year-old forward has not figured for the Blues since October 28 in the Champions League clash with Krasnodar.
Pulisic has made five appearances in all competitions for the London side.
Ahead of the game on Sunday, with Lampard telling reporters: “Christian Pulisic is back into contention, Kai Havertz had some minutes the other day [against Rennes] so now it's more just checking on his potential for full match fitness, but we're in pretty good shape.”
The former Derby County also added that the American will not be granted a starting shirt given the form of players like Ziyech, Havertz, Mason Mount, Kovacic and Kante.
He added: “He is fit, but ready to start is a question mark, because it's hard to gauge match fitness during coronavirus. In the training times as they are, it's very hard to recreate match play because the rest of the players are playing every three days and we didn't have any academy players to mix bubbles.
“For every player, not just Christian Pulisic, coming back to fitness it is more difficult at the moment to get them ready to start games. We’ll see.”
