Frank Lampard has told Didier Drogba not to be a cry baby after being dropped for Chelsea's FA Cup win at Southend.

Lampard insists feeling sorry for yourself is no way for any player to convince Luiz Felipe Scolari he is worthy of a place in the starting line-up.

Lampard told the Daily Mail: "If you make a mistake or have a bad game, you have to accept that yourself. Once you do that, you'll be all right. But if you want to cry just because the manager says you're playing below par, you have to look at yourself.

"Didier is a good personality and hopefully he'll come back because, when at his best, he's one of the best strikers in the world."
