Frank Lampard reveals what Chelsea were missing in Leicester draw

CHELSEA manager Frank Lampard has told his players they need to have more ‘personality’ after watching them throw away a lead at home to Leicester on Sunday afternoon.

Lampard is still looking for his first win and they looked on course for all three points when Mason Mount put the hosts in front at Stamford Bridge after only seven minutes following a superb start to the match.

Chelsea were well on top in the early exchanges but failed to capitalise on their dominance and Leicester came out after the half-time break a completely different team.

In the end, Lampard’s side were lucky to escape with a point as James Maddison missed from close range when it looked easier to score shortly after Wilfred Ndidi had headed Leicester level.

While Lampard was encouraged by his side’s start to the game, he admits they only have themselves to blame for failing to secure maximum points.

"It was a really good start, fantastic, and we could've been two or three goals up,” he said.

“We were quick, bright, energetic, then we allowed Leicester back in the game and in the second half I was not very happy, we offered them too many chances on the counter-attack.

"We can only look ourselves. In all our matches I have been delighted in big passages of having the ball but we didn't have enough angles or options to keep the ball moving.

“We have to have more personality, we saw that in midweek, but today we didn't have that.

"You can attack, but still be in positions to not allow the counter-attack.

“I’m not here to play great attacking football and then concede counter-attack goals.

“We need to show more than we did. I was under no illusions that there would be moments like this.

“We have to work on the pitch on the things we can improve." Lampard said.
