Coventry City manager Frank Lampard has expressed his frustration following a 1-0 home defeat to Hull City — a result that ended a landmark occasion on a sour note.

The loss marked the conclusion of Coventry's first top-flight home fixture in 25 years, and Lampard was candid about what went wrong on the day.

Too slow in possession

Despite feeling his side controlled the ball for much of the match, Lampard acknowledged that Coventry were far too slow in their build-up play. The tempo, he suggested, simply was not where it needed to be.

"We've got to do more," Lampard said, making clear that while possession figures may have favoured his team, the quality and speed of that possession left much to be desired.

Hull's perfect Premier League start

The victory extended Hull City's outstanding run in the Premier League, maintaining their 100 percent start to the season. For Hull, the three points were a statement — arriving at a ground steeped in occasion and leaving with the spoils.

For Coventry, the result was a sobering reminder that controlling the ball counts for little without the cutting edge to punish opponents. Lampard will know there is work to do as his side adapt to life back among the elite of English football.
