“People want to come in and inject the power and personality in our performance. The explanation for why we were undefeated in so many games was why, and we got out of there, and we have to get back fast.
“It’s partly because of our stage as a team. People were trying to communicate with us as named contenders, I never accepted that this was the case because we’re not here, it takes time to build.
“Games like Arsenal are the ones we have to be very informed about – of all, adding up myself – because when I see that in the first part, I don’t like it, I don’t like it so it can’t happen. “
The Blues return to action as hosts of Frank Lampard, Aston Villa, on Stamford Bridge.

He told ESPN: “He [Jorginho] has to prevent this. When you do that and score, everyone will say, ‘Wow, that’s smart, a smart thing. “

And finally, Malmo revealed that he would like a record payment for talented defender Anel Ahmedhodzic, despite Chelsea’s interest.

The Blues have now been in 3 of their last 4 Premier League games after the loss to Arsenal.

They range from one of the Premier League’s fastest and nonviolent peak groups to one of the top pedestrians.
“It’s a big challenge for him because you might have seen him with this owner Roman Abramovich, he doesn’t suffer from inconsistencies, bad results, no matter who he is.
“Let me be clear, Lampard is back on the cutting board now.
Chelsea would like to bring Erling Haaland to Stamford Bridge this month.
It had been said that the Blues would be a summer move for the Norwegians.

The midfielder, on loan from Chelsea, has played since the 2–1 loss to Brighton on 21 November due to injury.
Commenting on the England international, Phillips told Football Insider: “Barkley may simply have difficulty entering this camp with the way they play (Anwar) El Ghazi and (Bertrand) Traoré.
“Dean Smith will not send him straight back opposite to Palace.
“The Ghazi went and some other purpose for Traoré. You’re never passing by to let Jack Grealish or John McGinn pass more and more.
“The party is brilliant and healthy for Villa.
“It’s a great condiment for the club to see Barkley come back and it will be mandatory because it’s a hectic moment. “
Christian Pulisic hopes to return to the opposite adjustment blade to Aston Villa tomorrow.
Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf said Jorginho had to replace his penalty after missing Arsenal’s shot.

“I know some players there that I’ve played with. It’ll be great to see you again. It’s going to be a little bit without the fans.
“It will be a match. Chelsea are a rival who has a lot of quality on their team.
“This kind of game, we just have to do it, play to the fullest and fight for the 3 points. “
Alan Shearer lamented Chelsea’s lack of creativity after his loss to Arsenal at Boxing Day.
The Blues fell in a 3–1 loss to the Emirates and made no effort on purpose in the face of Tammy Abraham’s comfort in the minute.
And the legend of Newcastle gave his opinion on the problem.
“They lacked creativity,” Shearer said at today’s game.
“It wasn’t until the 85th minute that they made an effort at goal. Lack of intensity, dynamism and quality in the last third.
“When you look at some of the players exposed in the third striker, this may be a source of fear for Frank.
“[Timo] Werner, who dragged on the break, presented nothing in the first half, took one or two decent positions.
“Arsenal had the men on the ball and it made it very complicated, Arsenal. Arsenal forged and presented nothing to Chelsea.
Mason Mount spoke of his sadness at Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal.
Aston Villa star Jack Grealish jokingly said Bukayo Saka was a ‘liar’ after Arsenal ace claimed his goal was to oppose Chelsea.
The 19-year-old turned his 3-0 against the Blues in the Emirates boxing day after his cross-kick closed on Blues striker Edouard Mendy.
There was much debate about whether the teenager was looking for him, but Saka insisted that his attack was not an accident.
In statements to social media, he tweeted, “I took it offline!”
To which his England teammate, Grealish, joked, “Ur (sic) the funny man!
Malmo has revealed that he would like a record payout for defenseman Anel Ahmedhodzic, amid the interest of Premier League giants Chelsea.
According to reports in Sweden, the 21-year-old will be available for up to 8. 1 million pounds, a payment that is disproportionate to what Malmo won from Ajax by Zlatan Ibrahimovic in 2001.
PSV, Ajax and Atalanta would be interested in Ahmedhod-i, according to The Swedish Expressen.
Incredibly, the Bosnian his career at Nottingham Forest, where he made his debut in 2016.
But he returned to Malmo, where he was originally a young star, and thrived by betting on first-team football.
After spending over 200 million pounds this summer, Chelsea must balance the books.
And several players can simply head to the exit door, with loan agreements advised for some.
According to Athletic, Fikayo Tomori is attracting West Ham, Leeds and Newcastle.
While the long career of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen is also on the line, with Barcelona and PSG tracking the availability of the German defender.
Marcos Alonso has ruled outside the first team since the arrival of Ben Chilwell and would be available for about 20 million pounds.
Willy Caballero, Danny Drinkwater and Abdul Rahman Baba are also favorites to be fired as the Blues target their bloated squad.
Frank Lampard has been in the combined games that will see his Chelsea team play twice in 48 hours.
The Blues face Aston Villa on Monday, just two days after their departure to the Emirates, where they were defeated 3–1 through Arsenal.
Villa also in action boxing day, beating Crystal Palace 3-0.
And Lampard says both groups “have the same problem” as fatigue and possible injuries can simply be their pursuit team.
Chelsea manager believes Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United have had more time with their matches.
“The fact that it’s two games in 48 hours is a vital point for us because there are other groups that challenge the most sensitive in the league and play two games in 3 days,” Lampard said.
“Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool play two in 3 days.
“It’s counterproductive to Premier League quality, it’s a threat to players if they need to play either game in elite high-level sport, everyone knows that.
“I know that the broadcasters can be blamed and I know that in conjunction with the others, and this has been recovered, the decision was made that we would play twice in 48 hours while other groups competing in the most sensitive in the league play twice in 3 days, a recovery more than 24 hours.
“I don’t see how the game frame is level, I think it is and it probably wouldn’t be the most productive thing for players to play at the highest level.
“Make no mistake, Aston Villa has the same problem, but I’m just saying we don’t have the era of rest that other groups have. “
Is Marcos Alonso doing a sneaky search of Frank Lampard?
Chelsea were 3-1 through Arsenal in below-average functionality that challenged the Blues’ name challenge.
Alonso has been off the first team since Ben Chilwell’s arrival for 52 million pounds.
The Spanish zaguero is also not included in Chelsea’s 18-player list for the Emirates.
And he probably wouldn’t do anything smart with his chances of recovery now: he liked an Instagram post that Chelsea shared about the defeat to Arsenal yesterday.
It’s just that Boss Frank Lampard will be pleased that Alonso clicks the Like button, guiltless or not.
Alonso has been linked to an exit from Stamford Bridge, and a resolution on his long term is expected soon.
Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi has made it clear that the Blues stars did a disaggsed favor in their 3–1 loss to Arsenal.
The Gunners took a 3-0 lead before Frank Lampard’s team thanked Tammy Abraham.
And Hudson-Odoi admitted that they were well below the level in the first half.
“It feels like we’ve been disappointed. We know we can do much better. We have put the same power that we had in the part of the moment also in the first part, we have had the same attitude from the beginning. “
“We’re going too slowly, we all know that. We knew from the beginning that it would be a difficult match no matter what. They’re Arsenal, they’re a smart team.
“No matter where we are in the league, we will continue to push until we are number one and whatever game we are In Chelsea, we have to give the most productive of ourselves in each and every game, no matter what. “
“We don’t like to lose. That’s Chelsea’s mindset, we need to win. So when we lose or make some mistakes, we’re all disappointed in ourselves. When we win, we’re happy, when we lose. We’re disappointed, “so we have to go back to winning tactics and stay happy. “
Frank Lampard has criticized his Chelsea failures after being 3-1 through Arsenal on Boxing Day.
The Gunners took a 3-0 lead and beat their London for most of Saturday’s game.
And Lampard quickly to call his lazy players to a spiel after the game.
“I am because I need us to win games,” he said.
“We were lazy to give a penalty, lazy to give a loose shot that Xhaka gets into the most sensible corner and I am very, very disappointed with the way we approached the first part because some things in football are bases.
“These are not tactics or systems, is that what you need to run, your partner and sprinter?Or do you need to jog and say “maybe I don’t have to run, ” and we take this resolution instead of the right one. “
Frank Lampard has suggested to his Chelsea stars that they “attack the right way” after last night’s defeat.
He said after the game: “If you come to play slowly, with and without a ball, you have a big challenge to get a result.
“The message was transparent before the game, we had to attack it in the right way and we didn’t. “
He seemed risky when he got the ball on the U-turn and did some smart runs, but he still looked a lot better on the left wing and asked to play forehand in the first half to welcome Werner.
Tammy Abraham – 6
Like Mount, Abraham is one of the few players who shows some intensity and preference to get something out of the game.
He did well to succeed in his late purpose.
Timo Werner – 3
Another dreadful fit under a Chelsea blouse for a dull and deficient Timo Werner, who, to be fair to him, plays out of position.
No wonder he came out of his half-time anguish, replaced by Callum Hudson-Odoi, who began in the first place.
A poor start in the game in its component and gave too many single passes, nor was it the same as always and Lampard changed position in the time of the component by moving it further forward, but that did not help. didn’t make much difference.
Mateo Kovacic – 6
No Chelsea player was yet.
Retired at half-time by Jorginho, so chelsea can take a look to win more in the game.
Mason assembly – 6
He almost scored with a very good loose shot in the first half and was one of the few Chelsea players who showed intensity and desire.
Simon Phillips applied the rule to Chelsea after his 3–1 loss to Arsenal last night.
Odouard Mendy – 5/10
He has conceded a penalty and may approach a loose shot from Arsenal for the time being.
He was too under the chimney and was exposed through the players in front of him. Caught through Saka’s loop cross-throw.
James Reece – 4
It was never a penalty, but James was foolish to accept the challenge anyway and was not the same as always in the first half.
He looked like an injured player, and we thought he was getting into the game. Strange resolution to begin with.
Kurt Zouma – 5
He still looks more competent alongside Silva and will be bothered to concede two goals in the first half after acting badly.
Under Arsenal’s cosh and he didn’t get much of those who preceded him.
Thiago Silva – 6
Some stupid mistakes of Silva in the first half, but he calmed down temporarily and did the most productive thing despite the 3 goals conceded.
He was one of the few players who looked like he was looking to hunt down Chelsea tonight and has done better with a defeated header.
Ben Chilwell – 5
It’s surprising to see him start with Frank Lampard saying he was out for at least two or three games this week, and in fact it didn’t look like the same old Chilwell we see bombing along the left flank.
Yesterday was a day when Chelsea lost 3–1 to Arsenal in London.
Chelsea are in a position to get rid of up to seven players to fund the moves of Declan Rice and Erling Haaland, according to reports.
Antonio Rudiger, Jorginho, Marcos Alonso, Danny Drinkwater, Ross Barkley, Andreas Christensen and Victor Moses have been put up for sale through the Blues.
Chelsea hopes to diminish her team and balance the books in the moving window after spending two hundred million pounds this summer.
Former West Ham frontman John Hartson believes Declan Rice would be a signing for United.
The 21-year-old is also being watched through his former club, Chelsea, which will bring him back to the club.
Heading to Astro Stadium, Hartson: “I think it’s bigger than Fred, I think it’s bigger than McTominay.
“[Bruno] Fernandes is outstanding, he has been a Manchester United player for the past 12 months since he was bought.
“[Paul] Pogba, we don’t know what Pogba is going to produce, some weeks it’s great, sometimes it languishes and that doesn’t appreciate it.
“It would be a wonderful signing for them.
Chelsea will extend defender Kurt Zouma’s contract in the new year, according to reports.
The Blues should praise the 26-year-old for his clever start to the season.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard praised midfielder Jorginho despite not being penaltyd in time-out in today’s defeat to Arsenal in London.
Speaking after the game, Lampard said: “I’m going to comment on this in the minute (penalty).
“I’ll say Jorginho’s functionality, he added a lot to the team in half.
“We will pay the fine in the future. “
