Frank Lampard gave his players no time to dwell on their first game of pre-season as he had them back on the training ground on Thursday.
The Blues icon's first game as manager ended in a draw against Bohemians on Wednesday night, the Irish side equalising late on after Michy Batshuayi opened the scoring in the opening stages.
There was clearly plenty more work to be done before the season comes around and the London club set about it at their base on the outskirts of Dublin.
Chelsea's players looked in good spirits in what was a fairly relaxed session as sights turned to their second friendly against Irish opposition.
Lampard, who even took part in some of the drills, gets his next chance to secure a first win in charge on Saturday afternoon against St Patrick's.
After that, they face a much stiffer test in Barcelona, before playing Reading and Red Bull Salzburg. They finish pre-season with a match against Borussia Monchengladbach.
The London club's Premier League campaign gets underway against Manchester United on August 11.
Teenage full-back Reece James gave fans an injury update on Thursday night, revealing he had undergone surgery and it had gone well.
The 19-year-old suffered an ankle ligament injury during England's Toulon Tournament defeat to Chile last month.

lampard should try this line up too

no way! Kovacic in a 10 role? can't score or contribute to goals. That possition is better suited for RLC, Barkley and or William. Christensen is not better than Zouma.

Abraham can come in for Batman but he must work on his hold-up, William can play on either wings but I would prefer him replacing RLC in the 10 possition, a place he stared during his days with Shaltar, Pedro should be a backup on the right and Jorjinho being replace by Luiz or Barkayoko, Kovacic would be a good replacement for Kante. Alonso, Asp, Christensen are backups should all players be fit

Tell Lampard to throw Baker , Piazon ,Ugbo , Brown into the bin. Disrespectful to send them loan again. Send them back to London and sell straight away.
ur very correct

This should be one of preferable line up according to frank style of play and majorly how he execute them at Derby. Frank also like to dictate play from the back. so he could press further on his opponent, his style of play seems to be balance, and his attacking spirit is kinda great. According to the line up i think Borges should fill the void left by hazard, i think he is also great at the left flank, and maybe we could see more of his screamers this coming season. bat should start upfront and tammy on bench. i rather prefer pulisic on the right flank cause he got Amazing cuts backs and he could splint pass opponent to lay down final pass and also got amazing square play from the final third of the opponent box, in which odoi will prefer going via the right corners for a great square play mostly on air, which at times could not be favourable. while cheek should retain the AM upfront. jorgi should dictate style of play as usaul with kante at the base, thus could move forward to press further the opponents, he should serve as Cm here, like he did previous season before sarri play but with more advanced role. and lastly the back 4 look amazing need your opinion on that. kennedy is looking promising but got work to do defensive. while emerson is Amazing too at right back he should get the work done easily. cesar should be fill the void of rudiger in most games. depending on opponent tho. i think i prefer cesar in that position while luiz should got a promising back up.

Lampard trying to do what Ranieri did. pair Kante and Drinkwater in the midfield. he needs a player who plays his style. and that's Danny Drinkwater for sure. good passes, accurate shots and often marks right.
