Coach Frank Lampard took great encouragement from Chelsea's display in the Uefa Super Cup in Istanbul on Wednesday, despite the disappointment of losing on penalties to English rivals Liverpool.
"I think we can get better, there are things I still want us to improve on in terms of how we play slightly, but I am really happy with the performance," said Lampard after Chelsea held the European champions to a 2-2 draw after extra time, only to lose 5-4 in the shoot-out.
"To lose the game was disappointing but if it means Chelsea's season can be something like how we played today, we'll be OK."
Chelsea were a match for Jurgen Klopp's team for long spells and Lampard believed they were moving in the right direction after his first competitive game at the helm ended in a 4-0 defeat to Manchester United.
"You know Liverpool have got to where they have got, and I have complete respect for Jurgen Klopp," said Lampard.
"I am a new manager who's been here for six weeks or so, and what I saw today were things that I want in the team."
Lampard had already twice been on the losing side in the Super Cup as a player for Chelsea, including the 2013 shootout defeat to Bayern Munich.
He admitted that having two days fewer to prepare had been a factor as the match went all the way. Chelsea played at Old Trafford on Sunday, two days after Liverpool beat Norwich City in their Premier League opener.
