Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho blasts players and himself for poor start to the season

Jose Mourinho has named and shamed a number of players

JOSE MOURINHO has revealed he is not happy with any of his players or even himself after Chelsea's miserable start to the season.

 

The Chelsea manager is going down the gym every day in an effort to beef himself up for the fight ahead to retain the Premier League title.

In an extraordinary outburst, Mourinho left no one out of his list of flops after they had taken just one point out of a possible six. Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Cesc Fabregas were among those singled out - as was the manager himself.

Chelsea go to West Brom tomorrow looking for their first win of the season with new signings Pedro and Baba Rahman in line to make debuts as Mourinho shuffles his pack.

 

"I'm not happy with my form, because I used to get better results than I'm getting now," he said. "I'm not happy with Branislav Ivanovic's form, Gary Cahill's, John Terry's, Cesar Azpilicueta's, Cesc Fabregas's, Nemanja Matic's. But the first thing is I'm not happy with my form.

"So what we have been doing this week is being more active in training, watching more videos, working harder.

"I go to the gym every day now to get fitter. Maybe I need more action on the touchline, so I need to be fitter.

 

"I'm not happy with anyone, not one person. We have one point from two matches. I'm not happy at all. That's me. I'm either happy with everybody or not happy with anyone.

"Yes, I was the Happy One at one time. But I don't like to lose or for the players to have a better mentality than I have."

Mourinho is set to restore Terry to his line-up after withdrawing his skipper at half-time in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City last Sunday, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will return after suspension. But team doctor Eva Carneiro and phsyio Jon Fearn are still set to be absent from the bench.
