Frank Lampard insists that his Chelsea side will always strive to play with quick transitions.

The Blues have endured some growing pains under Lampard this season, especially on the defensive side.

However, they are finding some form and starting to emerge as a serious candidate for a top four finish.

And Lampard says they will stick to their principles of playing fast, flowing football all season.

"I wanted to be really positive at half-time [of an eventual 2-0 win over Brighton]," said Lampard to the club's official website.

"It's easy to lose patience, or stop doing the right things because it's not coming off, but we were actually creating and that wasn't the point the point was to keep doing the right things, moving it quickly and believe it was going to come. And it did.

"We're working a lot on trying to keep switching the play, moving it quickly from side to side. Sometimes, when we forget that and forget ourselves for a moment, we slow it down too much and it's something I don't like to see.

"I don't think it helps the crowd or the atmosphere when you slow it down, when you go back to the goalkeeper and go across sideways when you can play forward. At times, when we were at our best, we played forward, we were punchier and sharper, and that's what made us create so many chances.

"I like watching teams that are sharp, that move it quickly, that are physical and have energy. We have quality, so it's about trying to put that all together."
