Chelsea take on relegated Norwich on Tuesday night

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says his players have to make themselves heard and take more responsibility on the pitch as they chase a top-four finish to secure a Champions League spot.

Chelsea, who are third in the Premier League, lost 3-0 at Sheffield United on Saturday and Lampard said all he could hear were the oppositionโ€™s voices in the empty stadium.

โ€œWhen you talk about players, itโ€™s easy and natural to look at talent, but you also have to look at attitude and character within the team. Itโ€™s something that we can improve,โ€ Lampard told reporters ahead of Tuesdayโ€™s game against Norwich City.

โ€œYounger players can be more vocal and can grow as they go along. Older players can take on the responsibility of helping that โ€ฆ critical times like this where thereโ€™s a lot on the line, itโ€™s time for people to make that improvement.

โ€œThe main thing is that you can be as quiet as you want off the pitch โ€ฆ but they must come out of that on the pitch, they must demand the ball, otherwise the game can pass you by.

โ€œโ€ฆ The important thing now is how we react and I expect that from the players,โ€ Lampard added.
