Frank Lampard has proved his critics wrong with his performances this season, according to Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish.

Speaking ahead of the Reds' trip to Stamford Bridge this afternoon, Dalglish praised the recent outings of the England international.

"I don't think there was any suggestion from here that Frank Lampard's time has passed," said Dalglish.

"People who have said it are looking a bit stupid now."

Lampard, 33, is Chelsea's top scorer in the league with 6 goals and will be looking to add to that when the two sides meet at 4pm this afternoon.
