Lampard not surprised by Chelsea form with 'lots of improving to do'

Frank Lampard says Chelsea's run of form hasn't surprised him because his team still have plenty of room for improvement.

The Blues suffered their second successive defeat to Wolves on Tuesday, which ruined their chance to sitting equal with Tottenham and Liverpool on top of the league.

And Lampard insists his team must find consistency if they are to challenge for the Premier League title.

Asked if the last two defeats were just a blip, Lampard replied: "Well, that's up to us isn't it. Everyone sung our praises and I was the last one to do that as it is my job to stay level headed at both ends.

"So I shouldn't stay too disappointed tonight as much as I didn't get too elated after Leeds on the back of a really good run.

"Clearly, when we perform like we did today that's not game management and quality levels that we are striving for. I still think there's a lot of improving to do within the group so I wouldn't say I am massively surprised.

"With my experience of the PL tells me, if you drop your standards, which we have in the last two games, particularly away from home then you can lose football matches so it is a big lesson for the players there."
