Frank Lampard says Chelsea’s recent poor results reflects “the reality” of where the club is and it will take time to turn things around.
New owner Todd Boehly has broken transfer window records by spending £600m on new players this season, only for performances to get worse.
He said, “We need to take small steps,”
“Fans might not want to hear that,” Lampard added.
Lampard, 44, reiterated that his players do care after they were accused of lacking effort during their defeat at the Emirates, which saw them go 3-0 down within 34 minutes.
“Firstly to be clear, I know they do care. They do care, they all have their reasons to care,” he added.
