EPL: LAMPARD BLASTS CHELSEA PLAYERS FOLLOWING THEIR 3-1 LOSS TO ARSENAL

"You're too nice..."

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard chastised his players for being "too nice" during Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Arsenal.

The Gunners prevailed courtesy to a double from Martin Odegaard and a strike from Gabriel Jesus.

Noni Madueke scored the visitors' sole goal in the second half.

Lampard has already chastised his team for allowing Arsenal too much room and for playing passively.

"The performance in the first half was nowhere near good enough. Too nice to play against, too passive. Defensively the line wasn't coming up, which was giving them space.

"In possession we weren't playing over their press. All the things that make you a nice team to play against, we did. The second half was better but the result was relatively confirmed by then," Lampard said.
