MOURINHO DILUSSIONAL-Chelsea is indeed in trouble.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho’s week from hell concluded in a fitting manner as he suffered the misery of watching his Premier League champions comprehensively dismantled by Manchester City.

The start of Chelsea’s title defence has been overshadowed by the behind-the-scenes manoeuvring that saw Mourinho remove medical staff Eva Carneiro and Jon Fearn from their touchline roles after infuriating the manager by entering the Stamford Bridge playing surface to attend to Eden Hazard in the 2-2 draw with Swansea City.

From the opening seconds of City’s emphatic 3-0 victory it was Chelsea who looked like a suitable case for treatment – despite Mourinho’s farcical claim that the scoreline did not reflect the game.

In truth, it did not, but not in the way Mourinho thought. City could have inflicted more punishment, leaving Chelsea and their manager with much to ponder after a poor start.

Mourinho has faced heavy flak for his decision to effectively demote Carneiro and Fearn, especially from the medical profession, but also from some Chelsea fans who feel it was an over-reaction – even from a manager and personality they adore.

He is definitely Deluded!!!

No-one should seriously question Jose Mourinho’s judgement on football matters, but did he really believe for one second that City’s 3-0 win was a “fake” result?

Did he actually think Chelsea deserved more? The truth of the matter is that a compelling case could be made for suggesting Chelsea got off lightly.

Forget a minor second-half rally. If it was not for some fine work from goalkeeper Asmir Begovic – in for the suspended Thibaut Courtois – and an uncharacteristic miss from the magnificent Sergio Aguero, Chelsea could have been five down.

Manchester City 3-0 Chelsea: Jose Mourinho says scoreline was “fake”

If Mourinho was serious then he is utterly deluded – and that is not a claim you would make lightly. In his heart of hearts and after a time of reflection, Mourinho would have to admit Chelsea were swept aside, dismissed, by a vastly superior opponent.

If Mourinho is ever right, the subsequent game against West Brom which ended in a last gasping 3-2 win over the athons signifies his delusional believe, couple with a home defeat against lowly rated Crystal palace suggests he might be playing tricky games on himself and his mind.

If we are being generous, let’s say Mourinho had decided his players had suffered enough and wanted to apply some verbal comfort. Should Mourinho be sure of his assertions before now, he should know by now that his Champion team is in trouble by now.

fake result or not, he should be looking quickly to turn things around, else he might be singing farewell lullaby to his Chelsea faithful sooner than anticipated.
