Lampard: I’m learning about Chelsea players during this bad run

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says he’s learning a lot about his players during their Christmas stumbles.

Lampard admits the jury is out on his Chelsea players following a worrying run of three defeats in four matches.

“You learn more about your players when they are on a bad run,” said Lampard.

“I learn about the players and the players have to learn about themselves.

“Some of them are young and these tough times are things that we will have to go through.

“I don’t think this season was ever going to be plain sailing, winning every week.

“But the players lacked character against Arsenal and they know that.”
