Chelsea legend Frank Lampard has advised midfielder Aaron Ramsey to take up more of a defensive role for Arsenal.

Lampard feels that Ramsey will have to take care of his defensive responsibilities, which would allow Mesut Ozil to continue rolling forward, if the Gunners are to win the Premier League title this season.

"Ramsey has to change his game and think about the defensive side of his game," Lampard said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"With Ozil playing so well he knows he's not going to get that No.10 role, so he'll have to drop deeper.

"At the moment he doesn't yet have the ability to play in midfield two.

"I love him as a player, very bright and very clever but you can see by the way he's running back he doesn't really want to do it.

"Ramsey has to see that Ozil is the No.10 and drop back in.

"It's alright playing like he does when you're playing the lesser teams, but when you're playing top teams you need to be more secure."
