Chelsea boss Frank Lampard says they've changed their system after the sale of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.

Nine of their Premier League goals this term have been scored by players who nominally feature as attacking midfielders and when you add eight assists from that group, it's clear the load is being shared among several players.

"I felt we have options and people have talked about transitions, and obviously there is when you lose a player as impactful as Eden, who scored or created nearly 50 per cent of our goals last year," said Lampard to chelseafc.com.

"You have to accept that and look for where else in the team can we come up with that sort of end product. We have the players to do it. We have attacking players who want to score goals, a team which wants to move the ball quickly and get the ball into wide areas sometimes. We want to be able to cross it, to play through teams, and as a collective we're scoring goals. We have to continue in that vein.

"Everyone wants an Eden Hazard in the team, don't get me wrong, but we haven't and it was what was in front of me. We've got good players and it's important we try and be an attacking force. The Chelsea fans who travelled up to Burnley want to see a team that's trying to play attacking football and it's the way I want us to play.

"Of course, we have to worry about how we defend, but I want us to defend up the pitch if we can. I want us to move the ball really quickly with a view to creating chances and the players are doing that. We work hard on it daily in training, it doesn't come easily."
