The guests gifted their hosts midfield possession for the opening purpose, and by no means recovered from that setback, which appeared to deflate the aspect and drain the boldness out of them.
“The issues they (Southampton) wish to do, win the ball again in midfield and counter, we gifted that to them,” Lampard informed reporters.
“Afterwards I didn’t just like the response. I’m right here for a cause as a result of we’re down ready we don’t wish to be in. Within the two video games at Goodison I’ve seen some actually good issues, within the two video games away, not a lot.
“A person mistake calls for a response, not only a enjoying response however a mentality response and I didn’t really feel that from them in the present day.
“I do know they’re good lads and wish to react however typically when you could have been in a tough run away from house it’s simple to seep again into (dangerous habits).”
Lampard says there shall be some arduous conversations this week as they put together to host leaders Manchester Metropolis on Saturday.
“The gamers want to know that second half was not ok. It isn’t ok to lose second balls persistently, it isn’t ok to attempt to miss out (the midfield) and play to the strikers.
“I’ve to talk to them as a result of I’ve been very constructive and as workers we have now had an uplift however in the present day we drifted again into being a staff I don’t need us to be, so the gamers want to listen to it. You study extra from a defeat than a win.”
