Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has said his squad lacks a ruthless streak and he doesn\u2019t have enough \u201ckillers\u201d despite their 4-0 home win over Morecambe in the FA Cup.
\nThe victory was needed as a confidence booster, with Lampard selecting a strong XI against the League Two side on Sunday.
\nTimo Werner ended a 13-game goal drought and Kai Havertz also scored for the first time in 15 matches.
\nIt also came after a poor run of form that has seen the Blues win just one of their last six league games.
\nLampard, speaking afterwards to the media, identified a lack of killer instinct.
\n\u201cWhat we can\u2019t ask the youth of this squad sometimes is to be absolutely consistent and be killers, like other players in the league are in terms of the numbers they produce and consistently produce.
\n\u201cThat will come for our lads but at the moment their contributions are good.
\n\u201cI mean killers in the best possible terms and I hope people know what I mean,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
