Frank Lampard appeared to make a subtle dig at former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho for allowing players like Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne to leave the club.
Both players struggled under Mourinho during their time at Stamford Bridge but have gone on to become two of the top players in the Premier League since being sold by the Blues.
Salah joined Roma for just £12m in 2016 before quickly moving on to Liverpool where he has won consecutive Golden Boots and a Premier League Player of the Season award.

De Bruyne also failed to establish himself at the club and left for Wolfsburg for £18m in 2014.
After shining in Germany he signed for Manchester City for £55m, where he has been one of the keys to the club's back-to-back title wins.
Speaking ahead of Chelsea's Boxing Day clash with Southampton, Lampard, who played with both players, appeared to make a comment in relation to the two players.

'If we're not patient and if we don't stick with the players, we might end up in a situation like we were before where absolute top, world-class players in this moment were at Chelsea when they were 20, 21 and managers didn't stick with them so much then,' he said.
'I'm in a position where I'm going to stick with them.'
Mourinho has previously denied he was responsible for letting Salah leave.
De Bruyne also sturggled with the Blues and was allowed to join Wolfsburg in 2014 +5
'When the club decided to sell him, it was not me,' the now Tottenham manager said in January
'I bought him, I didn't sell him, and my relationship with him was good, is good.
'I think that he doesn't regret that move because everything went well. Everything went well for him and the progression went well for him but, at that moment, he was just a kid with a huge desire to play every week, every minute and we couldn't give him it.'
