Chelsea lost to Fulham shows they're afterall mortals
Fulham’s win over Chelsea on Sunday showed that Chelsea is not unbeatable. The truth is, before the Fulham match, you could start to see “cracks” appearing in the Chelsea’s setup. I put the blame on Mourinho’s confidence. He doesn’t seem to be as confident as he used to.
Look at the Champion’s League matches against Barcelona, his strategy even involved roughing up the pitch, which doesn’t sound smart at all. Next, his bust up with West Brom’s boss, Bryan Robson after Arjen Robben was sent off for a dangerous tackle. Mourinho was clearly worried about whether his team can keep the lead. The relief in his face after Joe Cole scored the winning goal was clearly evident. He also seem to trust his team lesser, especially after his players allowed a very normal Middlesborough to put 3 goals against them and basically have no reply at all, losing 3-nil eventually.
Finally, Mourinho’s recent declaration that he is not the “Special One”. Why oh why? When he has always been telling everybody he is special and implying that he is the best in the business. Is it a sign that he is losing it or a realisation that he is at best, considered one of the best manager not a class above the rest.
I dare to make two bold predictions; Chelsea will only win the league this season with 7 or less points over the 2nd position team(Now they are 12pts in front of Man U) and they will not be win the league next season.
