Chelsea have lost all five matches since Lampard took charge in early April and remain rooted to 11th spot in the Premier League standings.

Lampard was accused of defending his underperforming players in his post-match press conference, which he promptly refuted.

"Have you not watched Brentford in the last two or three seasons? Have you not seen them go and win at Manchester City earlier in the season?" Lampard retorted.

"Absolutely they [the fans] worry because they're used to 20 years of success and you want it more. I've no problem with the fans booing, I'm not sitting here to go against the fans and say 'don't boo the players'.
