Former Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink says Frank Lampard will know the buck stops with him.
Chelsea went top of the table when they beat Leeds on December 5.
Since then, they have lost five of eight games – and Lampard is now feeling the heat.
Hiddink told the Mirror: “When it comes to signing players, there is a number of people who are responsible.
“A coach, of course, is part of the process – but it is also about the policy of the club to decide what kind of players you want to attract.
“Many factors have to be considered before making a judgement.
“But the ultimate responsibility for results always lies with the coach – and Frank will understand that."
