Frank Lampard rips into Chelsea flops after Sheffield United defeat

The result dealt the Blues a massive blow to their top four hopes and are in danger of dropping to fifth should Man United and Leicester win their fixtures.

However, Lampard has insisted he is unfazed by that prospect but admitted his wards must turn up in the remaining matches.

“I’m not concerned so much about top four today. All I do is sit and watch all the games because of course I want to get there but today I’m concerned about how we performed,” Metro UK quoted the Chelsea boss saying.

“I learned a lot about that. I’m not thinking we might be fifth, third or fourth or whatever – we’ll see by the time those teams play. We cannot approach Norwich or Manchester United, Liverpool or Wolves in the same vein that we did today,” he added.

The English tactician further hit out at his players for their dismal performance, observing Sheffield were better than his side in every aspect.

“They were better than us. Better than us physically, better than us in the mind, better than us with the ball so you lose the game,” he said.
