Jose Mourinho launches another stunning attack on his misfiring Chelsea stars

Mourinho has not held his tongue when it comes to accusing his players of underperforming

 

JOSE MOURINHO has launched another attack on his players, questioning the passion they have displayed in Chelsea's disastrous title defence.

 

The under-fire manager was the subject of emergency talks held today as Roman Abramovich considers whether the Portuguese is still the best man for the job.

However, it is clear Mourinho feels his players need to change their attitude to life if Chelsea are to pull away from the relegation zone.

"Some of them need to rethink how the way they live Chelsea, they live football, they live their job," Mourinho told Chelsea TV

 

"Chelsea is big, football is more than a job, it's a passion. I think every match on the pitch you should live with an unbelievable passion."

The Blues latest defeat came on Monday as Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez scored to give Leicester a 2-1 win over the champions at the King Power Stadium.

John Terry was once again substituted, the watershed apparently broken after Mourinho took off the club captain for the first time in his tenure at Stamford Bridge against Manchester City.

 

Eden Hazard also had to be replaced with a hip injury, although his manager appeared to ask him to continue, before the Belgian almost immediately walked off the pitch again and disappeared down the tunnel.

In his interview with Chelsea TV, Mourinho did not name any players, but he made it clear that some of his personal relationships at the club had broken down.

 

"How many millions would love to be football players and they can't be? You shouldn't waste any minutes on the pitch, you should enjoy every minute and you should give absolutely everything," Mourinho added.

"Yes, I feel frustrated with some players and I feel that some others they give absolutely everything and don't deserve to lose."
