Drogba demands Chelsea improvement

29 November 2010 15:30
Didier Drogba has warned Chelsea they need to improve at both ends of the pitch if they are to retain their Barclays Premier League title. The Blues ended the weekend in second place for the first time this season after the 1-1 draw at Newcastle, and have taken just four points from the last 15 on offer. Salomon Kalou's equaliser meant they at least avoided a third successive league defeat for the first time in 11 years, but with Manchester United having roared back to the top of the table with Saturday's 7-1 demolition of Blackburn, Drogba knows they need to be more ruthless in both penalty areas. The 32-year-old told BBC Sport: "That's normal, that's football. We had these moments last year and it is up to us to change things, to get back to scoring goals and not concede. "We had so many clean sheets for a certain time, but now we are conceding in every game, so that's something we have to change if we want to go back to the top of the league."
