Drogba - "Chelsea fans be patient and calm!".

Didier Drogba has given an interview on Chelsea's recent form featured in The Telegraph on his own battles, the mood in the Chelsea dressing room and has given a message to the Chelsea fans. He said:

“Chelsea’s current position compared to last season is actually very similar but maybe our injuries and less goals have brought about a negative mood, In the last weeks Carlo Ancelotti has been unhappy — and the squad, too. Chelsea are not accustomed to defeats and the dressing room has suffered. But the season is long and it is normal to suffer lots of changes.

We play Wolves next and I hope our bad phase has disappeared. We need three points and that’s the most important thing. Injuries and the malaria have damaged my performances. I am still not 100 per cent but I am fighting in each match to improve my playing levels and help the team.

This season has been complicated for me by physical problems. It has not been easy to regain my strength but we need the points and my presence is necessary. I have always sacrificed for the team – and Chelsea need me.

I don’t like to say it, but at the Emirates our attacking actions were few and without decent combinations. Without doubt this was a bad night. Our supporters have been faithful all along. We have suffered defeats but the fans are always there to help.

During some bad weeks I have noticed the support of so many people and this is very important. I just ask the fans to be patient and calm.”

I think we have to agree we need Drogba big time. If you take the Villa game for example, he was isolated and hardly in the game at all because our tempo and shape wasn't good enough. Once we upped our game and kept our shape Drogba became heavily involved in our attacking play.

The thing for me is that it's all well and good saying to be patient and keep calm but to then see Chelsea play the way they have been and not playing how we know they can, or playing well for a short period in games is hard to take!.

Chelsea need a big performance tomorrow night at Wolves and we need to ensure Didier Drogba is involved in the game for the whole game and not just a bit part player.

Let's hope Didier get's back on the goal trail!
