		</div><p>Former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard is concerned the Blues are lacking &#8220;real personalities&#8221; and believes their current Premier League position is &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;<br />
Under the leadership of interim manager, Chelsea have put a poor start to the season behind them.</p>
<p>They are still in the Champions League and the FA Cup, while Saturday&#8217;s win at Southampton lifted them to 11th in the Barclays Premier League.</p>
<p>However, former England international Lampard, who played more than 400 games for the club between 2001 and 2014, sees John Terry as the last of the big personalities at Stamford Bridge.</p>
<p>He told the Mail on Sunday: &#8220;I do worry about where the real personalities of the team are. To be a big team, you have to have big personalities.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to sound like I am harking back to the days of me and John (Terry) and Ashley Cole and Petr Cech and Didier Drogba but I do see a team now where John is the last mainstay of that identity.</p>
<p>&#8216;Maybe Chelsea are looking for a more beautiful way now. The club has been trying to push it down that route with the players they have recruited over the last four or five years.</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem is if you fall in the middle, somewhere between tough and beautiful. It&#8217;s nice football at times but it&#8217;s not that nice and it&#8217;s not really winning games. It&#8217;s not beautiful, beautiful stuff.</p>
<p>&#8216;They need to buy two or three big players. Because being 11th in the Premier League is ridiculous for Chelsea.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lampard, who had a spell with Manchester City prior to his move to current club New York City, is tipping Pep Guardiola to impress in the north-west.</p>
<p>He added: &#8216;They will be a huge force under Guardiola. I think, yes, Man City can push on in a massive way. He&#8217;s an innovator.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are two geniuses: Jose Mourinho and him. What a great rivalry that will be if Jose goes to Old Trafford.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now 37 and preparing for a new season in the MLS, Lampard added: &#8216;I don&#8217;t know yet whether this will be my last year as a player &#8211; but whether it is or not, I don&#8217;t want to go out with a whimper.&#8221;</p>
