Didier Drogba Calls Chelsea Form Worst He Has Ever Known

Didier Drogba has called Chelsea's poor run of form the worst during his time at the club.

Chelsea were toppled from the top of the Premier League after a string of poor results, they could only manage a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United.

This result comes just a week after losing 1-0 to Birmingham City and Drogba, who has been at the club since 2004, has called it the worst run of form since he has been at the London side.

Speaking to The Sun Drogba said: "It is maybe the worst run of form I've known since I came to the club. It is not good.

"It is very frustrating - very frustrating. I know that during the season you can have moments like this and try your best to change it."

And the Ivory Coast star admits that there is pressure building but believes that Chelsea players cannot be too disappointed with recent weeks and fight to get back to the top of the Premier League.

"It's a lot to say the manager is under pressure because of the results, yes. But we are not winning and the teams behind us are coming back - and are even in front of us now.

"Yes, there is pressure from those teams.

"Losing top spot, it's not nice, obviously - to see that Manchester United are up front and Arsenal as well. But that's the challenge. We have to see it as a challenge more than being disappointed.

"You know you have to see it as a challenge and do everything to come back."

Chelsea are back in action on Saturday as they look to get their season back on track when they host struggling Everton.
