Lampard demanding major Chelsea reaction after Sheffield Utd humbling

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is demanding a major reaction from his players after their 3-0 defeat at Sheffield United.

Lampard believes how his team react now will count for a lot.

He said, "I'm not actually concerned so much about the top four today, even though all I do is watch the games on TV and consider where we're at and what we want to do.

"Of course I want to get there but today I'm concerned about how we performed and I learned a lot about that. We cannot approach Norwich or Man United or Liverpool or Wolves in the same way we did today.

"It's not one to cry our eyes out over for days. We know where we're at - we have the opportunity to fight for the top four, which not many expected us to do at the start of the season. We're nowhere near a finished article, I know that and we have to improve."
