Frank Lampard has explained he is \u2018not surprised\u2019 by Chelsea\u2019s recent struggles, despite their poor performance in the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n

After their first six matches in the current campaign, Chelsea were only a point better off than Everton who only just managed to stay in the top flight last season.<\/p>\n

Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s side might have splashed a billion in transfers since Todd Boehly took over the club in June 2022, but the results on the pitch have left fans disappointed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not completely surprised at some of the difficulties. I think having lived it first-hand at the end of the season,\u201d Lampard said on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I came into a club where it had been eight months of results you don\u2019t expect from Chelsea and that\u2019s \u2013 in my experience \u2013 working with two very good managers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTop managers \u2013 in Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter. So I think you could see \u2013 I felt I could see some of the issues there which was confidence from results.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lampard took charge of Chelsea for a second stint last season after Graham Potter was sacked, and failed to register a home win, as the club finished 12th<\/sup>, behind Fulham and Brentford.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf at Chelsea you don\u2019t win that nervousness builds. And maybe some motivation amongst the squad which \u2013 I think with having such a big squad, unprecedented numbers and it was spoken about a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo a lot of players felt like their time was up at Chelsea or it was coming or they were going to be moved on \u2013 and I lived that feeling.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think that would obviously affect it by hiring a very good manager in Pochettino and then recruitment, so a big changeover.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there is no magic wand as such \u2013 the Premier League is the most unforgiving \u2013 so when you make so many changes, there are so many variables.<\/p>\n

\u201cI probably expected a bit more in terms of points, I think they would have expected them with the way they\u2019ve played to a degree, but I never felt it would be an instant turnaround, I think there is a lot of work to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n
