Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has marked down one concern that he has about Chelsea’s big squad rebuild that they have undergone in the last four transfer windows.
The Blues had a fantastic result against Wolves last weekend but since then they have lost to minnows Servette and drawn 1-1 at home against Crystal Palace. Improvements have come, sure, but there are some stuttering performances and results too and naturally, this young side are always going to have inconsistencies until they really find their feet.

It was nice to hear from Lampard on Match of The Day Two last night, and I am personally always intrigued to hear what our former player and manager has to say about current Chelsea.
Lampard has a concern
‘Inconsistency will be there – young players bring that,’ the former Chelsea midfielder said on Match of the Day 2.
‘If you look at moments in the game where Chelsea are on top, maybe they aren’t clinical enough and then you can always feel the game can swing on them.
‘You do wonder if that bit of experience through the spine of the team isn’t there and you’ll have to wait for that but there’s certainly a lot of talent in there.’
‘In terms of where they are at, Maresca mentioned today that they aren’t the same team that won the Champions League and he is right,’ Lampard added.
‘I was there 18 months ago and at that point, it was a really low point from my point of view because it didn’t feel like the club that it had been which was so successful for 20 years.
‘A lot of that was the environment and getting that right. I feel like they are on an upward curve but there will be good days and bad days because of the squad.
‘But there is a lot of talent and if they can keep improving, especially at the top end of the pitch, they can give teams a lot of problems.’
