Chelsea’s season has managed to hit new lows every week with the latest defeat to Arsenal yet another page in a book full of underwhelming and embarrassing displays.
Frank Lampard arrived with the intention of galvanizing the Chelsea players who seemed to have forgotten how to play football.
Instead, he’s actually made the players worse, in ways unimaginable. ‘Super Frankie’ looks sure to leave the Chelsea job with a slew of new records, shattered, and set again.
We take a look at the 5 unwanted records set in the Blues’ defeat to Arsenal.
1. Ten straight Premier League defeats
Amazing right? Yes. Frank Lampard has now lost 10 consecutive games, dating back to his time at Everton. First to do it since Mick McCarthy in 2005 and the first English manager to do so since Arthur Cox in February 1988 with Derby.
2. Six defeats in a row
Lampard has now guided Chelsea to six straight defeats and you would have to go back 30 years for the last time that happened. 1993
3. Four straight Premier League defeats for Chelsea
After the defeat to Arsenal, Lampard becomes the first Chelsea manager since 1998 to lose four straight games in the league. The last time Chelsea lost more than four league games on the bounce was 30 years ago.

4. Least amount of goals for Chelsea
Chelsea’s haul of 31 goals after 33 games is the least amount of goals they have scored at this stage since the PL was formed in 1992. Their lowest scoring season was in 1995/96 when Glenn Hoddle's side managed 46 goals.
5. Most losses in a single PL season for Chelsea
Finally, and this is not all Lampard’s fault but Chelsea have now lost 14 league games in a season for the first time since 1998 when they were beaten 15 times.
It just keeps getting worse for the Blues and it’s hard to see a way out, at least until the summer.
