WHAT THEY SAID: "If you want to list our last four Premier League games, they're not good. That is the full picture," he said. "Our league position is a reality, our points is a reality, our goals scored is a reality of the season."

Lampard added: "I'm not hurting. I've been part of this club with big success. Any sport can give you moments of adversity. We at Chelsea have been pretty fortunate for 20 years. When the spotlight is on you, it's on you. As a player or a coach, you have to understand that."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Chelsea's disastrous run leaves them sitting 12th in the Premier League table and 24 points adrift of the Champions League spots with five games to play.
