(Reuters) - Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said his attacking players had to do more to break down visiting teams after Thursday's 2-0 loss to Southampton left them with two straight Premier League defeats at Stamford Bridge for the first time in eight years.
Goals from Michael Obafemi and Nathan Redmond gave improving Southampton a surprise win while Chelsea's struggles against a tight defence left Lampard facing questions on whether he needs to add creative players in the January transfer window.
"I learn about the players, and I learn about the players particularly in games like that," Lampard told reporters when asked if Thursday's performance had nudged him in a certain direction on transfers.
