JOSE MOURINHO thinks that children are doing well under Frank Lampard … despite their inability to break under his supervision.
And Chelsea's former boss, Kurt Zouma and Tammy Abraham, are the two new name-verified newcomers who will make the difference at Stamford Bridge this season.

Lampard, the Blaff's new gaffer, was forced to take over a team without a new signing due to a two-window transfer ban.
However, a number of players have returned from successful loan periods to increase their numbers.
And Mourinho thinks the new faces will play a big role in helping Super Frank succeed in the Premier League.
Back center Zouma, 24, and striker Abraham, 21, already appear to have forcibly entered the starting lineup.

And Mourinho believes that the quality of the pair shows why Chelsea will not need to look for reinforcements when their ban expires in 2020.
The Special One told Sky Sports, "I think all the managers in the world like to play with the kids from the academy.
"I think Chelsea is a very special club in relation to that. I give just one example: Chelsea needs a central defender – Kurt Zouma! You do not need to buy, you do not need to spend. Zouma!
"He is champion of England, he has played for Chelsea, for Stoke in the Premier League, for Everton in the Premier League, for France.

"It's your player, he's on loan, where are you going to buy a better player than him? You already have it.
"You want a young striker – Tammy Abraham! He's yours. He knows the club. He was made at the club, he was educated at the club.
"He was on loan, he has already played a few matches in the Premier League, he plays in the league but at the highest level with the responsibility to play in a big club like Aston Villa. He is ready.
"Do you need to buy a young center forward? No! And Chelsea has been criticized repeatedly with the number of players on loan, more than 30, 40 players.
"But now the time has come and they have answers like nobody could have. They have the answers, so I do not think that's a problem for them.
"The only problem for them is obvious: they lost a phenomenal player. Eden Hazard was a special player for Chelsea and they lost him. Apart from that, I do not see any problem for them. "
Mourinho's support to the youth comes with a touch of irony after his own struggles to bring young players into his club forays.
In 2015, the Special One said the following to the three future talents: "My conscience tells me that if, for example, Lewis Baker, Izzy Brown and Dominic Solanke were not players from the national team in a few years, I should want it. "
Four years later, none are close to the national team.
Chelsea fans must hope that Lampard will be more successful in getting Chelsea's top prospects into the first team.
