Chelsea star: What Jose Mourinho did today and what my team-mates think of him

Asmir Begovic says Jose Mourinho is still the man to reverse Chelsea's fortunes

ASMIR BEGOVIC insists the Chelsea players are behind their manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho, 52, faces the sack after a disastrous start to the season.
Chelsea lost their seventh league game of the season as Stoke edged a nervy game at the Britannia this afternoon.
But Begovic maintained his team-mates have faith in Mourinho, who was banned from the stadium after an incident with a referee two weeks ago.

"Jose Mourinho did the pre-match talk at the hotel and that was it," Begovic told the BBC.
On Mourinho's job safety he said: "That is out of our hands, we are behind the manager you can see that from our performances. We think he is the right man and someone we work hard for.
"His spirit and his presence is always there, we wanted to get a result for him."

Begovic also discussed the game, in which Chelsea threw away a number of chances to equalise after Marko Arnautovic's opener.
"We definitely did enough to get a result here but when things aren't going your way you don't get the luck you deserve.
"We hit the post, we slipped over when we had open goals, we are making things hard for ourselves.
"You can see from the game today it [our problems] is not something you can pinpoint. We are getting punished for little bits and pieces but eventually it will turn."
