This Is Not The Team I Want To Manage – Lampard Fumes After 1-0 Loss To Bournemouth

Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has said he does not want to coach a “safe” team, following a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday.

It was the Blues’ successive defeat in the Premier League, after they lost 3-1 a Everton last weekend.

Lampard feels his team is playing with fear and don’t want to take risks during games.

“I don’t know about fear but in front of our own fans it’s clear now we aren’t playing well enough and getting enough results.

“Up until now I think a lot of it – and I said this after Lille – was we’re not taking enough chances because we’re creating a lot and we’re giving away some silly goals. Today wasn’t a ‘we’re creating loads of chances day’, we created two or three great chances and we need to take them if we want to improve, but today we just didn’t get the fans excited enough.

“The fans shouldn’t be excited if we’re going to play 10 balls across our back four. They shouldn’t be. I think that’s not the team I want to manage,” Lampard told reporters when quizzed on what has happened to Chelsea.
