<\/p>\n

Former Liverpool captain, Jamie Carragher, has slammed Frank Lampard and his Chelsea team, following a poor start to the Premier League season.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher clamed \u201cit\u2019s like a basketball game\u201d when they play.<\/p>\n

The Blues are yet to win under Lampard, after losing 4-0 to Manchester United in their opening fixture and drawing 1-1 with Leicester City last weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat would worry him [Lampard] most is that it\u2019s like watching a basketball game. People keep talking about them being naive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have got no organisation in possession.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery clip I look at there is a 40 square by 40 square of space. They are not organised in an attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too easy to get out, that\u2019s why it becomes a basketball game,\u201d Carragher said.<\/p>\n

The former England international also singled out Willian as a \u2018shocking\u2019 player, following the draw against the Foxes.<\/p>\n

\u201cTowards the end of the game they should have lost really.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Frank had another sub, I think he would have brought him [Willian] off. He was shocking,\u201d Carragher added.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
