Abraham on Chelsea flop: Lampard let us know what he thought

Tammy Abraham has fronted up after Chelsea's 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United yesterday.

Abraham was selected to lead the attack but the visitors were blunted by the Blades at Bramall Lane, kept off the scoresheet for the first time in 10 Premier League games while also conceding three for the second time in three away matches.

On manager Frank Lampard's reaction, Abraham told the club's website: "He let us know how he was feeling after the game.

"We got into the changing room and we already knew ourselves so there wasn't much for him to say.

"We didn't start the game sharp but you have to give credit to Sheffield United for how they disrupted the way we wanted to play. They scored an early goal which frustrated us and we didn't react."

The striker also remarked: "They got an early goal and that boosted them to put in a good performance.

"We changed our formation at half-time and played a bit better but by then we'd already made a few mistakes and they had scored two goals.

"We then threw bodies forward and we're very vulnerable when we lose the ball high up the pitch. That's something we need to improve on. We're still a young, learning team but if we want to be the best and win titles that's something we have to manage."
