Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard admits they have to be more adventurous to break down defensive opposition this season.

"We might have to try and adapt to playing against defensive sides because people will see that other teams have got results doing that," he said.

"I think it is important to mix things up if you are trying to play through a team and it is not quite working.

"There are times when you have to try different things - sometimes you can play a bit more of a direct style, sometimes you can try and get the ball wide so the team can put more balls in the box."
