The Ivory Coast international claims that the Blues must learn to combat the 'problem' of starting slowly or risk missing out in the big games.
"We have this problem where we don't start well. We do need to change it because sometimes we concede one or two goals and it is difficult to come back." Drogba told the londonpaper.
The most recent example of this occurred in the Community Shield where Chelsea ran out eventual winners against Manchester United but had gone behind to an early strike by Nani.
"You have to give more effort to come back, so we have to improve," stressed Drogba.
The 31-year-old also admitted that the squad are still learning to adapt to new manager Carlo Ancelotti's 4-4-2 formation.
"We are just trying to improve our fitness in order to be better in the new system, which is not easy for us to play, but we have time to improve it."
Drogba didn't excuse himself from criticism, however, honestly stating, "I personally need to reduce the amount of mistakes I make."
