Frank Lampard hasn't shied away from calling out Chelsea's poor standards in training as a reason for the club's continued poor form this season. Ahead of the toughest game of the season, heading to the Etihad Stadium as the biggest underdogs they have been in their history, the interim coach has sent his side a brutal message.
With Mauricio Pochettino expected to be announced as the new permanent manager from the end of the season in the coming days, Lampard has just three game left of his temporary spell. It has been a struggle so far, coming off the back of Graham Potter's disastrous tenure.
With a squad of 32 players to manage and a group of differing personalities and ambitions it has proved to be a logistical minefield for the 44-year-old. Despite being keen to raise the spirits, Lampard hasn't backed down from explaining the inefficiencies within the squad.
