Chelsea legend explains his former side’s biggest problem



Chelsea are currently struggling to defend their Premier League crown as they sit fifth in the table - two points behind Tottenham, who face Bournemouth this afternoon (4pm).

The Blues face a serious risk of missing out on Champions League football next season.And Lampard thinks the current crisis is because the club did not strengthen properly at the beginning of the season. Manager Antonio Conte has often called out owner Roman Abramovich over the lack of spending.

And Lampard believes all the negativity around the club has left them well behind their rivals. “The worrying thing is is this negative talk around the club,” Lampard told Match of the Day. “It started very early about the manager and recruitment. “They haven’t gone forward from where they were last year and other clubs have.”

Lampard was also critical of Chelsea’s performance during the 2-1 win against Crystal Palace yesterday. “They weren’t great against Palace but they were as good as they had to be,” he added. “They came to Stamford Bridge when it is not a great time for Chelsea, and they came to be organised. “They sat back and gave Chelsea an incredible amount of respect. “There is one thing being organised, but there is another thing being passive.
“They gave time to players of the quality of Willian, time to cut in and take shots - he had a few of them in the first half.”
