Chelsea’s torrid season summed up by Lampard
According to recent reports, Chelsea currently sit in 11th place in the Premier League table with 43 points and are on track to match the 1997-98 campaign in terms of most losses in the league if they suffer another defeat. After his side’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, Chelsea’s interim coach Frank Lampard spoke about the team’s issues on the pitch. He noted that the second half was better for Chelsea in terms of possession and control of the game, but admitted that in the first half, the team was not dynamic enough in the top end of the pitch. Lampard also suggested that there is a tendency for Chelsea to play a lot of passes that do not break lines or threaten the opposition in the top end of the pitch. These issues will need to be addressed if Chelsea hopes to improve their performance and finish the season on a high note.
