Chelsea defender Christensen: I've been p***** off with myself

Chelsea defender Andreas Christensen isn't hiding over his current form slump.

Christensen's momentum has stalled slightly in recent months as a few high profile errors began creeping into his game.

He told the London Evening Standard: "I have been p***** off with myself.

"Every time I go back on the training pitch at the moment, I want to do better. At the same time, when I go home, I don't want to bring my family or partner's mood down.

"I try to relax and be happy, I try not to think about it. I believe it's important not to do that or it will drive you crazy.

"But when I make mistakes, I do get p***** off with myself. It has been a difficult moment for me, but it's not my first.

"I had a little time in Germany when I first got there to start my two-year loan at Borussia Monchengladbach (in 2015).

"I didn't play for five weeks after making mistakes in the first league match (they lost 4-0 to Borussia Dortmund).

"It meant I knew what I had to do this time around and I have tried to cope with it the best way I can."
