		</div><p>Frank Lampard has refused to haul Chelsea’s players in for extra training despite growing frustrations with the Blues’ Premier League form.</p>
<p>Chelsea slipped to a fourth defeat in five league matches with Saturday’s 1-0 Stamford Bridge loss to Bournemouth, leaving boss Lampard bemoaning his side’s sluggish attacking play.</p>
<p>Dan Gosling hacked the ball over his head and into the net past a stranded Kepa Arrizabalaga with the goal awarded after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) check.</p>
<p>Chelsea failed to open up Bournemouth’s low block, leaving Lampard admitting there is already enough work ahead before Saturday’s derby trip to Tottenham without adding to that load.</p>

<p><em>“I’ve been in a dressing room playing after those games, and I’ve been in the dressing room after those games in seasons when we’ve ended up winning the league or Champions League; that’s normal,”</em> said Lampard.</p>
<p><em>“So I’m not going to stand here and draw a line between me and my staff and the players. I understand how they feel and I feel like it now.</em></p>
<p><em>“So it won’t be a hard week where I get them in on Sunday morning and watch the video for two hours.</em></p>
<p><em>“We’ve got a long week where they can go away a little bit and have some time with their families, and when we work we work properly, and we focus on the Tottenham game.</em></p>
<p><em>“I can’t find anyone wanting in terms of how we apply ourselves.</em></p>
<p><em>“But what we do on the pitch is the main thing. And at the minute we do have to understand that it’s not good enough.”</em></p>
<p>Tammy Abraham battled manfully up front against the Cherries but to no avail and with precious little service from Chelsea’s vast array of talented but underwhelming creative stars.</p>
<p>Lampard believes he has the resources to make changes for the Tottenham clash, saying: <em>“That’s something that I’ll always look at every week.</em></p>
<p><em>“The players have to show they deserves to come in and make a difference, particularly in a moment like now.”</em></p>
<p>Former Everton midfielder Gosling’s goal ended Bournemouth’s string of five straight league defeats that had left the Cherries fretting on the source of their next victory.</p>
<p>The 29-year-old has finally shaken off an injury glut, leaving boss Eddie Howe delighted for one of his most popular players.</p>
<p><em>“Dan’s had a couple of injuries which has been a real blow to us, because he’s never, ever let me down,”</em> said Howe.</p>
<p><em>“He’s so committed, he’s a real team player and he’s very, very popular in the dressing room.</em></p>
<p><em>“He came back into the team for this match because I felt we needed his work-rate and honesty on the pitch. And he took that goal very well.”</em></p>
