Chelsea caretaker boss Frank Lampard admits their bloated squad has prevented him to put in tactical systems.

Lampard is working with 33 senior players, with the dressing room having to be expanded to accommodate the extra players.

He said, We obviously have a big squad which I think was done for all the right intentions but of course to manage that and get a really tight, connected unit which is the first thing in post [is difficult].

[We need] connected people working together in a positive way. Then you can start talking about tactics, where are we going on the pitch.

If you don't have that it is very tough and that has been very challenging. It's something that should and will be addressed going forwards."
